Remember your last day of 7th grade?

Today was NED’s final day of 7th grade and yesterday was MB’s final day of 8th grade.

Tonight was NED's "Erev Siyum" (final night celebration). She participated in a play, knew her parts by heart and said them all in hebrew. She was amazing! Then she and one other friend performed a dance they choreographed themselves. Boy, can that girl move!

For me, 7th grade was all about Friday night roller-skating and Shawn Carey and 8th grade was the year my parents wanted me to switch to the Bais Yaakov (all-girls Jewish school) in Baltimore.

All I remember about both years was that my friends were way more important than my family!

Now, to survive the summer with my own teenage girls...
