Scout’s end of year party was for the birds. (I’d like to mention that this is the one party of the year that I don’t put on.) It was supposed to be a huge water party, and the kids were all supposed to come in their bathing suits. The “water” was comprised of 12 wet sponges and 20 water balloons between 60 kids.
Yep…lame.
Just take a look at my kids mid-party!

But as we walked away, and Scout was complaining, I used it as a great opportunity to teach him that things are what you make of them.
And even though the party was boring, it was up to him to create the fun.
Then he told me that he did exactly that.
He was climbing trees with Navy, when the other teacher blew her whistle, lectured them about the danger involved and gave them a 5 minute “bench”.
I couldn’t argue with his point, so we walked away and agreed that I should be in charge of that party next year.
