Each year, since 3rd grade when SOL testing is administered, I let the kids take each take a skip day from school as soon as all the testing is over. It's my way of rewarding them for working hard all year, and being done with another year of school.
The kids each take their day separately and they get to the design the day exactly how they want to spend it. For some reason I asked Sam more than a few times when she wanted to take her skip day and she'd pick a day and then change her mind. And not just change her mind on which day she was going to take, but change her mind on wanting to take one at all. What??? Hard to believe. It wasn't until the 11th hour (we were running out of school days!) that Sam ended up picking a day to miss school and sticking with it. Sam mapped out how she wanted to spend her day and got very exact with the timing for everything. How cute is this note?!?!
However, when the day finally came to be, Samantha didn't wake up until 10:00am, which meant we were already behind schedule. Then when it came time to play tennis, we both decided it was way too hot to be outside and shifted our focus to getting pedicures instead.
I am so happy Sam ended up skipping school. We had a great day together!
