10 Thoughts You Probably Have on Your Kid's Last Day of School Before Summer

The last day of school is every kid's dream . . . and most parents' nightmare. On one hand, there's a whole Summer of fun to look forward to with your little ones, but on the other, your child is going to have less daily structure, which will probably drive you a little crazy. Whether your kid is all signed up for camp or you'll be home with them almost every day, that last school day will send you on an emotional roller coaster.
