School's Out for Summer!

Last day of school photo

As you can tell, Emily was pretty happy about the last day of school. She has really enjoyed the change and the friends she has made, but it is also nice to sleep in once in a while.

The last day concluded with an 8th-grade walkout, which the parents were invited to attend. Emily was horrified at the idea that I might show up, so of course, I made sure to be really obnoxious about it. LOL. There wasn't much to it; they just left the school and did a lap around the track. I was able to get video at both the start and end of her lap.

In the first video, you will see her appear in a green dress right at the end of the video and work very hard to ignore me. In the second video, she has braced herself and is ready to more actively put an end to my shenanigans. LOL.
 

Now that summer is here, we have been figuring out how her days will look. In her mind, she should do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. In my mind, there are opportunities for her to help around the house, learn to type, and finally tackle that driver's ed course. We'll probably find an equilibrium just in time for her to head up to Minnesota for three weeks (two of which will be at French camp).
