End of the School Year: Seth and Sam

End of the school year for Sam and Seth included a lot of exciting things.

Their soccer team won two more championships (which meant that they won both leagues, both seasons). We couldn't have asked for a better first year soccer experience!

After championship #3

Championship #4

The spray foam is very exciting. Especially for Josh who ran around spraying indiscriminately (i.e. spraying all the parents).

Seth and Sam

With Coach Mario: what a great coach for the boys!

End of the year party at Buffalo Wild Wings. I lucked out and had another dinner to go to...Ben had to take the boys to this one on his own.

The only time our kids get to play video games.

The twins also had an end of the year violin concert. This was one of the highlights of my year. It was amazing to listen to their generation play. I was so impressed.

The boys are in the back row. They played songs such as "Pirates of the Caribbean," and "Perpetual Motion."

Sam was featured on the AIM instagram feed.

In the final week of school, the boys got to dress up as their favorite book character.

They chose to dress up as Harry Potter (Sam, Seth)

Remembering what it looks like when you take the elevator down to get in the car for school.

First vs. Last Day of School

Sam first vs. last day of school (long shaggy hair on the second picture!)

Seth first vs. last day of school

To celebrate the last day of school (it was a half day) we went to Poptique.

It was awesome

We were very proud during the end of year award ceremony! Sam got the "Service with Excellence" award, which was awarded to one kid in each classroom for showing exemplary character. Seth was awarded a tuition scholarship for having top grades. The boys have really thrived in school.

Finally some pictures from the end of the year party. It was over 100 degrees at 5 pm. Thank goodness that it was a water party (but not for the moms...we sat sweltering in the heat). The kids loved the soap bubble machine (but we did not enjoy the rashes that came later from running around with soap on your clothes).
