Last Day At Miss Rose's!

Today was the first of two sad days headed my way. Today was the last day at Miss Rose's, our babysitter.  Forever.  She will not be watching kids next year.  I got her a plant and made a pot that said "Thanks for watching us grow over the years."

Then each of the kids put their handprint on it.

Here is the last picture of my kids and Miss Rose's kids, Jonathan, Brandon and Marianna.  My kids are pretty attached to them and they love them!  Marianna is so good with them.  I told her that she could come over and play and watch the kids some days over the summer so that I can get some stuff done!  My kids also love Jonathan.  He has always been Gracie's little buddy.  He has played with her since she was a baby and he was like 3 and now he's in 2nd grade!  Brandon..well, they love him too but he would rather not play with them.  At least they know his name.

See....Jonathan and Gracie are good buddies.  At least they will be able to  see each other at school next year!

Here is Miss Rose with the kids.  She has been great putting up with us all these years.  We have been going to her  since Gracie was 3 months old!  Just when she got used to her, I told her I would be having twins and she bravely took on that task.  She was so easy to work with and dealt with our crazy scheules at times. 

One last group hug!

I had tears in my  eyes as we said our goodbyes.

But I know that we'll see each other again in and out of school and that she will always be an important part of my kids' lives.

Thank you for all the years Miss Rose!  We'll miss you!
