The Beach Bash that was NOT

We had our last Tiny Tuckie party this past Saturday.  It was supposed to be a "Beach Bash" theme, unfortunately the weather refused to cooperate.  We had a dismal rainy day complete with a high of 47 degrees and that evening we received snowfall {didn't accumulate on the ground}.  So, in an effort to continue forth with a party our fabulous party planners changed it up a bit.  Instead it became a movie day with pizza and yummy treats.  My kids still enjoyed the camaraderie of all their friends and had fun running wild throughout our community center.

I also enjoyed spending some more time with my Tuck Partner friends for another last hurrah.  One of my besties, Candace, spent her last day with us at the party.  The next day she took off with her son JJ for North Carolina for the summer.  I am trying really hard to stay in denial about the fact that we won't be neighbors anymore.  The Monteleone's have been fantastic friends to our whole family and we will sorely miss hanging out together.  The realization of our impending graduation is sinking in more and more with each goodbye.

Robby loves to head into the studyrooms at the community center and draw on the white boards

Maddie seemed to have missed the memo about the cold weather and dressed herself in her finest summery attire, complete with all the colors of the rainbow.  Purple and black slip on shoes, turquoise leggings, pink skirt, yellow & white striped shirt, and purple star glasses. Just plain awesome in a nutshell. In case Miss M blames me someday I want her to know loud and clear that I didn't dress her in this outfit.....it was ALL her.  Now that this is clear, I want to add how happy I am that she has the confidence to pull off any outfit she chooses.  She dresses herself almost all the time and wears her clothes with all the confidence in the world.  I hope she always maintains this sense of self.

The clean up crew! Candace, Laura, and Stephanie are all TP14's and I am sure going to miss living by each of them and spending so much time together.
