Ah, those end of the school year plays...such fun! And my grandsons were very into the pirate theme, celebrating the year's end and bringing on the lazy days of summer .

John, being a 4th grader, was onstage with his class; but Chris, not yet into grammar school, could not resist getting with the pirate theme and strutting his stuff as an audience member. It's pretty contagious.
As for Grandma...I had a good time, too, reliving those final school days when, as a teacher, the lesson plans got put aside (well, sort of) and we just had fun, celebrating our year together. Nicer yet was the experience-on this occasion-of being an audience member, there to just enjoy, not being responsible for anyone other than myself.
Yay to the end of the school year and summer vacation! I can't help but celebrate; it's still in my blood, even though -being retired- every day is a holiday.
Having been a teacher, you have more reason than I, but I am always taken aback by the flood of school calendar-triggered feelings. I feel the "hooray, summer's here" every June. And I also feel the quickened pulse of a new year (and an overwhelming need to go buy pencils and paper) every September.
ReplyDeleteyay we only have 5 days left here ourselves...i look forward to having mine home...the pirate-hood looks like a lot of fun...smiles.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun play. And the boys look so cute! Although pirates probably wouldn't like being called cute : )
ReplyDeleteOh, they are so cute! And yes, I'm sure sitting there with no responsibilities made it all the more enjoyable!
