Pre-K Promotion

A has officially graduated to kindergarten!
See how tall A is?
It's actually funny to think that A is actually younger than a lot of the kids...

A passed through pre-k with flying colors!! They had a little ceremony for the parents. The kids sang songs, and then they received kindergarten learning materials to represent their promotion. It was very cute, and we are just amazed at how grown-up our baby A is getting! (By the way, notice how tall our baby is compared to the rest of her class...do you see the difference? R still has dreams of making her a basketball player, but she pretty much has zero desire to play...its a work in progress...)

OUR Idol...

Each year, the girls' school has a singing event called "Lewiston Idol". T participated last year, and did a great job, so when it rolled around this year, she was excited to do it again! She sang a Hannah Montana song with one of her friends, and they were too cute! They both stood there with their arms crossed the whole time, but they sang beautifully! Needless to say we were very proud. (We tried to get A to get up there and sing a song, but she decided she would rather watch.)

Field Day

At the end of each school year, the girls' school has a Field Day. They order t-shirts, and they have outdoor activities and contests all day. The kids look forward to it, because its a day out of the classroom, and it signals the end of the school year. Since A was in school this year, she got to order a t-shirt and be part of the field day activities. She was SO excited, and thought she was such a big kid!!

Mother's Day

Okay. all you mommies out there, and those who will be someday...this is what it's all about! All the sleepless nights, changing diapers, colic, crying...it all pays off when that child is 9 yrs old and brings home a beautiful (to me) Mother's Day present that she worked on for days, and she is so proud of!!!! T made me this bowl in art class. She explained how she worked for days, and then painted it just right, so that now I have a place to keep my watch and wedding rings. (R is always giving me a hard time because I take them off, and forget to put them back on because I have forgotten where I put them!) I guess T has noticed when he checks my hand and asks me if I am married today...now because of her gift I can be married to her daddy everyday!!
