Yesterday was the 5th grade all-day party in the park. Next year my baby big boy will be going to Middle School. A thought I can barely accept. There was candy, and pizza, poker (yes I said POKER), sack races, a water balloon war and more. But the high-light of the day was the silly string battle. Every kid got a can and on the count of 3…..ATTACK. It quickly became clear there was some kind of alliance going on between a bunch of girls and my Jack (or Jackman as his friends call him these days) because he was pretty well covered in a matter of minutes by his assailants. Oh sure they were assailants in pony-tails….but still they got him GOOD.
Something tells me he didn’t mind one bit. 
Just an another big ol’slap in my face that my precious little baby boy is growing up.
And it both breaks my heart and makes me smile all at once.
From this…
to this…
Note: that is a total fake ‘model’ look. Normally he looks more like this…

Congrats to the Jackman!
Aw congratulations Jackman and Marcy!
Shall we assume your Jack is a “Ladies Man”? This is SO cute, Marcy! The time, it just keeps on marching…
Be still my inner middle schooler heart! I just adore your boys, as far as I can tell . . .
