PreK4 Graduation

Today was O's graduation from preschool. Her class had a nice program planned for the parents and they gave us some neat little projects they have been working on all year.

O with her teacher, Ms. Brenda. She received her own "preschool diploma" for her hard work.Ms. Brenda gave all the children fun star sunglasses because she said they were all "stars".They gave us these neat books......they are unbelieveable!The Shape Book....They had examples of all of the shapes they had learned throughout the year and they had made each shape into something. Then they also practiced writing the letters to spell each shape.The Color Book- each color had its own page with lots of things glued to that page.The Paint Book- a favorite. Here they had painted with leaves. Other things they had painted with were bell peppers, sponges, wheels, etc. It is a really neat book....very creative!As we left everyone had their own little bucket filled with a gift from the other children. A fun little way to remember such a fun year. It was a really sweet time.....but bittersweet that it was our last time in a preschool room with her! We have had a wonderful experience, but can't wait for what is to come for this special little girl!!

Rain, Rain Go Away!!

It has been raining non-stop around here for the last few days. AK thought she would take matters into her own hands.....she was dying to play outside, so she found some rain boots and wore them all morning!After they realized they weren't going to get to go outside, they settled for a little story time. We hope the rain goes away soon.....

Happy Mother's Day- early

Saturday evening, Paul and O decided we needed to celebrate Mother's Day a little early because we were going to be gone all day on the real Mother's Day. I was caught a little off guard, so I don't have many pictures.....

Just imagine- AK walks in carrying a card, WP with flowers and O with a gift. It was precious!

The card was signed by all 3 and O picked out the gift all by herself.....she couldn't wait for me to open it. As I opened it, she told me how much I would love it.....Madagascar 2, the DVD. (FYI, the move O has been dying to get :-) ) O had it all planned- we were going to have a "movie feeature" (movie theatre). She got out the pillows, popped popcorn, 3 kid-sized lawn chairs for us and turned out the lights- we had a true party for Mother's Day! (no, Paul and I couldn't fit in the lawn chairs, but we left them there for the effort)


This is a picture after they all gave me the card, gift and flowers. I really wish I had pictures of the theatre!!

So simple, but a great Mother's Day!
