Pre-K Graduation

It is Breccan's last day of pre-k. Although everyone had fun, it was REALLY chilly!!! Breccan has had a happy year...Mommy is glad it's over! On to kindergarten, little man!


When we first got there, it was chilly, but at least the sun was shining!







Snack time under a blanket.


After their snack they all got into Miss Lynette's big ol' van and practiced their program.



Mimi and Pa got back into town in time to come to the program.




Breccan gets embarrassed at things like this...




They let their butterflies go...Breccan held one.







He was one of the last names called for his little certificate. He was so patient while he waited. So good.


Still waiting...

Finally!!!

He saw his name through the back before it was called.

More of my Little Butterfly's Last day of pre-k

At the pre-k celebration, they read the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. It was read to signify the changes that the kids have gone through and the feeling by the teachers that they are releases their 'butterflies' to go on to the next adventure in their life. It was great. My girl is beautiful!












They played their recorders...Hot Cross Buns. Then they got to take their recorder home.


BayLea with her certificate.


We got her flowers to give to her at the end. She was THRILLED with them. She went all over telling anyone who would listen that her daddy had gotten her flowers.

Pre-K Park Play

BayLea's preschool spent the last day at the Rocket Park. She had so much fun! As usual, she played with everyone (girls anyway...didn't see her play with the boys this time, although, the boys are the thing at preschool!).

They had a bump and jump, tents, and a parachute for the kids to play with and in.










This is Isabel, BayLea's closest friend.



I love all the 'tent' pictures. BayLea's face says it all. Plus Sawyer's funny faces are hilarious!






Breccan had a blast with this little boy, Connor. I'm going to call today to see about getting Breccan on the waiting list for next year's morning class.





This slide was hot...this rocket has been here since before I was born, probably, and that's a long time ago! It's all metal!




BayLea and Miss Brandi...


Miss Joy...


and Miss Brittani. She had AWESOME teachers!

BayLea's preschool field trip to see their 'Grandma's and 'Grandpa's

BayLea's school went to visit the retirement home, sing some songs, and hand out little gifts. I was totally proud of BayLea. She was so warm to all of the older people, giving hugs and talking to them.

She was so good to them!

BayLea's Birthday at School

BayLea really wanted to spend the night with her Mimi and Pa on the eve of her birthday. So I let her, feeling a little sad the whole time, but knowing that she was having fun! I even called her before she went to bed and told her mommy missed her soooo much. She said, "Mommy, write a little note that says 'I love you very much' and put it on my pillow, okay?" So I did. she's such a precious little thing! So the next morning, on her birthday, her daddy got pink roses and delivered them to her at Mimi's house. BayLea loves them. They are now dead, but still in the vase on our table. She's reluctant to throw them out.

I got there a little later and we made brownies with frosting to take to her school for her school celebration.

A birthday kiss from Pa.

And then a taste of the brownie mix. Look at Breccan!

Mmmmmm....tasty stuff, brownies.

And here are my kids, loving each other! Love it when they are sweet!

Now we're ready to head to school. I took the day off so that I could spend part of her day with her at school. Doesn't she look just darling?

She wanted me to curl her hair into ringlets.

At school, they had their reading celebrations. BayLea earned a pencil this time.

Miss Britney is letting her pick out her pencil. Next week she earns a coupon for a free kids meal at Texas Roadhouse. Yummmm.

And then her group worked on writing their numbers on their calendars. Her group is called something silly like the Yellow Duck Horses. I'm sure the horses part came from BayLea.

Done perfectly! Good job, my little one!

And now they're singing happy birthday to her and waiting for her to take the first bite. Oh my heavens, isn't she precious standing there!

And the bite....

now everyone else can eat too!

Time for the pledge. They've learned it in both English and Spanish.

Breccan enjoyed his time there too. I hope he'll be a part of this pre-k program next year.

BayLea's job this week was calendar pointer. She loves calendar...we have to do calendar stuff at home that she directs. It's hilarious listening to her make us pretend to be in school as she makes up stuff for us to do.

She really had a great afternoon. Now we are heading off to Red Robin for yet another birthday celebration! Stay tuned...
