They Grow Up so Fast

They grow up so fast. Yes, Taylor had her 1st boy/girl dance on Friday night this weekend and put it this way, they had a blast! Our schools in our district call themselves the GOLDEN KNIGHTS, so they called this night "Fun Knight." They hold it every year near the end of the school year for the 5th, 6th and 7th graders to welcome the 5th graders into a new school --MIDDLE SCHOOL. yes! I cannot believe my little Taylor is going to Middle School next year and will be working her way to the big hill. She's been down here in our small town school for 5 years now and as they always say - next year on the BIG HILL. Yikes!

Fun Knight turned out to be not just a dance, but with other fun activities such as sports, getting to know all the kids from the other 3 schools all joining together next year as 6th graders. What a step! Her and my best friends daughter Bridget are the same age and will graduate together which is just too funny, we never thought that would happen cause they are 10 months apart but their birthdays fell just in time to start school the same year. They simply loved it, they don't go to the same elementary school together but they play softball together, and hang out through the summer when we get a chance to get together during our busy schedules.

Taylor said they played ping pong alot that night and didn't mention the dreaded word too much - BOYS! So, we're still good to go on that subject. I remember in 5th grade I had a crush on a kid named Jack Snyder. And by 6th grade a steady boyfriend that I simply adored. Yikes again! that's just around the corner for her.......I'm not ready for that yet. And won't pursue that subject just yet.

All in all the girls had fun, which was the best part --- and its only a part of life, GROWING UP!
