Seth's Last Day in Elementary

It's so hard to believe that one of my kids is done with elementary and moving on to middle school! I can't be that old, can I? On Friday, Seth had his last day at the Intermediate school. The didn't do an actual graduation but celebrated each kid during their awards ceremony. Every kid got an award and walked across stage to get it. Seth's was for his IMI Math Test score (although I'm not sure what the score was). The rest of the day was filled with a party, celebrating their moving on to middle school. At the very end of the day they did the "5th Grade Walk". All the other classes were brought out into the hallway to cheer on the 5th graders. A lot of the girls (and some of the boys) were crying, as they lined up and walked through the halls, one last time, to the graduation march. It was pretty emotional to stand and watch, although Seth and his group of friends never cried and couldn't understand why everyone else was. Mikayla, on the other hand, was sitting in the hallways bawling her eyes out, which made almost the entire 2nd grade hallway start crying. Her teacher and I didn't know whether to console them or laugh. LOL Anyways, here's a few pictures from his last day of elementary! On to bigger and better...

With 2 of our neighbors. Ok, story behind this is that the girls were both taller than Seth. He was standing on his tiptoes to try to be taller (which is why he looks like he's about to bust open laughing) and Lesleigh was trying to look shorter (which is why she was leaning in)
