Blake's Last Day of First Grade!





I can't quite figure out how this happened so quickly, but Blake had his last day of school today. Andy and I took him to school to give his teachers their gifts and I tried my hardest to get a picture of him with his buddies. He told me that I was embarrassing him and ran off, but some of the little girls in his class were happy to fill in! We stayed for an annual event that the graduating 5th graders do every year, which is an "egg drop". They all take a raw egg and wrap it up as well as they can using lots of creativity (think parachutes made from plastic grocery bags), and then the custodian gets up on the roof and drops the eggs down onto a giant target shaped like a fried egg! The kids whose eggs stay intact get a prize. Andy watched all this for a few minutes and then decided that he wanted to stand in the middle of the egg target...we had to go inside so he wouldn't get hit by a flying egg!
