Madisyn's last year in grade school

After today at 1:15 pm Madisyn is officially not in grade school anymore. I am not sure how time when so fast and neither does she. Madisyn had her 6th grade graduation last night and I am not sure how that happened. Just yesterday I was taking her for her first day of Kindergarten now she has blossomed into a beautiful 12 year old. They gave them all their awards last night for all of their accomplishments and Madisyn was on the honor roll which is a great accomplishment with all of the other activities Madisyn is in. She also was nominated for an awesome award where they ask all the teachers throughout the school to nominate a student and Madisyn was nominated for the Grandma Jay award. She didn't win but just the honor of being nominated brought tears to my eyes. And of course the Safety Patrol award - that was a well deserved one, going early and staying late and making sure those kids crossed the street safely, very important job. The 6th had projects all year long, very long and time consuming projects and last night was their last one called the wax museum. They had to research someone in American History and write a speech about them and then dress up like them. You had to walk around and if you wanted to hear their speech you had to push their button and they would come to life and tell all about that person. Madisyn's was Martha Washington and she did a great job. I think Madisyn realized last night that she only has today left and she will not be in grade school anymore and she cried and I cried and her teacher told her not to cry or it would make her cry. Life seems to be rolling right along and time doesn't seem to want to slow down.
