First Finals

 Oh the joy in our house the past week preparing for finals. The kids haven't ever had final exams (and please don't call them tests) before, so there were plenty of moments of I hate science. I hate history. You get the idea.  Love of learning was just oozing from our pores.
 She was just pulling a face before it's actually been all smiles around here. Especially going to lunch with mom yesterday and an early breakfast at Dennys with Dad this morning. See there are a few perks to finals:)
As Jake put it, "We're in the Big Leagues now".  The kids studied hard. I quizzed them. And stressed them out. And on occassion even brought them to tears.  I did exactly what the teachers told us not to do. I suppose that means I failed my final exams.  Must do better next time. On so many levels.
I can't wait for the next two weeks of stress-free worry-free fun!
CHRISTMAS VACATION HERE WE COME!!!!
