Yesterday was the last day of school for the kids.  The last day is always my least favorite day of the year because the kids go home for the summer and I miss all of them.  This year was particularly sad because our school has been open for six years now and our first group of kindergarteners are moving to the middle school next year. It’s been amazing to watch these kids grow into really great people.

To celebrate the end of the year, one of the teachers suggested we all go to Painting with a Twist.  If you have never been before, I suggest you get a group of girls together and go.  It’s basically paint by numbers but without the numbers. An artist walked us through the steps and we all painted the same picture.  Even though the picture is the same, everyone has their own style, so they are all just a little bit different.  I can’t say that I would choose this picture for my house, but I might put it up in my office.  I really only went for the experience anyway!

Here is how it started out!
