After all the events, we finally made it to graduation.
The boys had their elementary school clap out last week. Which I think is just a time killer for the elementary kids. Their elementary school has been torn down and rebuilt, and none of their teachers they had are still there, so I'm not sure it was as nostalgic as it's billed. But we did it, and here's what we looked like.
We had the senior car parade on Saturday, which is my favorite event! It was a beautiful day and the kids (and the parents) all had so much fun. The parade is in the morning, but it turns into an all day party for everyone.
I knew nobody in Houston would even know what the College of Charleston's colors or mascot are, so I made Kyle and Charlie's truck into a boat. I was very proud of my handiwork!
The last yearbook came home, and it definitely made me laugh.
I thought Reed's valedictorian quote was super funny.
Kyle made it on the FFA page, and the caption is funny (though it didn't mean to be)
He didn't even raise a lamb this year, and he's holding....a goat!
The theme was "meant to be" and Reed had a meant to be quote.
(I'm sure MawMaw was happy since this is her favorite movie.)
Kyle had his last FFA banquet last week.
To be fair, we have only been to one other FFA banquet where we thought Kyle was going to get his greenhand degree (his freshman year), but he didn't fill out the paperwork to the teacher's liking, so he didn't get it. (Which of course we didn't know when we showed up at the banquet) We just so happened to be sitting next to a mom whose son also hadn't filled out the paperwork properly, and we bonded over having to go to a banquet to watch our kids get nothing.
The other kid became one of Kyle's best friends, and when they announced that they were going to give out the 4-year membership award we all laughed that they had probably found a reason not to give it to Kyle and Garrett.
