End to Elementary

 Fifth grade, is the last year at elementary school, and for girls, it's all about friends.  Paige had a brilliant year in 5th grade. We loved her sweet teacher, Mrs. Ferguson. Paige constantly tells me that Mrs. Ferguson never yells.  (Good for Mrs. Ferguson. *blah*)   Paige also formed some tight bonds with good friends.  Hoping they carry over into middle school.  Heaven help us -- that's a rough territory with a lot of drama.

Claire also had a terrific fifth grade experience.  She and her best friend of three years were finally in the same class.  I constantly asked and emailed if they were behaving together.  They never acted up in class.  My theory -- they saved it all for weekend here!  God love 'em -- they are a cute, little team.
