Our day started very early. We got to Mashburn at 8:15 for Katie's graduation ceremony . The gym was already pretty crowded but we did find seats on the 4th row. Katie got an award for the A-B honor role. She and her friend Laura like a boy named Tyler. He has long blonde shaggy curly hair. He also got A-B honor role along with some other awards. I think he is cute. Terry thinks he is trouble. Towards the end of the ceremony they did a program of pictures flashing on the screen to music. It was really cute at first. They covered everyone. It went on a little long. It came to a point that would have been a perfect ending. Everyone was fooled and started clapping. Then the pictures kept on popping up just like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. They apparantly never heard the saying less is more. The pictures kept comming for another 15 minutes. I love pictures but this was truly a case of overkill. Finally the ceremony ended and the 5th graders marched up and down the corridors. We waited by Jared's classroom. Some of the mothers were getting all teary eyed. Not me. For goodness sakes it is only 5th grade. Now High School graduation or getting married those I can see as tear worthy.
