The Evolution of the Grad Parent

If you still think us Kramers are these amazing parents and you want to keep thinking that....Don't read this post ;)....

Three High School Grads, in three years...is EXCITING ;) (and exhausting and boring) !!!!

Holly graduated in 2012...

Our first...
there were several grad parent meetings and we attended them all, professional photos, relatives came, attended the car parade waiting for a glimpse of our pride and joy, sat through the ceremony in gleeful anticipation, snapped a thousand pictures, shed some tears, waited up all night for her to return from the after grad party....{awesome parents}


Bailey did the same 12 months later, 2013....

We skipped the parent meetings, took our own photos, invited no one, skipped all but 2% of the car parade, or was there even one?, brought charged iphones and lots of snacks for the eternally long ceremony, gave up on inside pictures,(they never turn out any way, and the school sends you one), made her get a ride home from the after grad party....{mediocre parents}




Madison, poor Madison....



Wait! What? Grad is THIS Wednesday?!?!

Do we have to go, to like all of it??? Can't you just text us when they get close to the K's??
{those parents, people write books about}

I did finish altering her dress today and she did finally find the perfect grad shoes (black VANS)...

But there is almost no worry or stress (that part of my brain finally broke)...as long as we show up with our iphones charged, for photos of course and snacks for Superman...it will be those wonderful parents at yet another wonderful grad :)

Yes I am well aware that Madison gets the short end of the stick, yes I know that isn't fair, yes she will probably need therapy. The fact that we are actually getting this girl in a frilly dress{it's a Christmas miracle}is probably doing the greater damage to her psyche...

Grad is an awesome achievement...Really Maddie,...

Sorry you're #3... please accept our most sincere apologies...

We still love you!
