Tonight was Irving's party to say goodbye to the blacktop. A group of parents have been working since E was in second grade, I think, to tear up the blacktop and replace it with grass. The school finally got the district and park district to cooperate, as well as earn a grant from the state to do the work this summer. I'm not thrilled with having the playground moved to the corner kitty-corner from the house, but I rarely hear the kids playing so maybe it won't be too bad. I think it will look nice when it's done. All the students were given these T-shirts to get them in the party mood. Here's L with her friend, J, who's sleeping over tonight.
E took her state road test today with her driving instructor and received a
perfect score! Now she just has to drive enough to get 50 hours and wait till August (nine months from when she got
her permit) to go into IDOT and have her picture taken for her license!
B brought home his yearbook today and he couldn't wait to flip through it with his friend IR. Of course, E and IR's sister (and E's friend), M, had to get a peek too. The comments were so interesting I had to put on my reading glasses a few times and and go see what they were talking about.
