Preschool!

As giddy as Teresa has been for preschool... since FEBRUARY!... she got a little shy when we walked in the door.  Turned out to be a great day though with a lot of fun friends, some new, some old.  Looking forward to a fantastic year!

FIELD TRIP!!!!!

 Teresa's preschool class went on a field trip yesterday... to say she was giddy with excitement would be a complete understatement!  Her thrill was only slightly lessened when she realized we would be riding in our van & not a school bus.  :)

 Even more exciting when our twin friends get to ride along!  We were chatting on the way there about what ice cream was made out of... Teresa said, "Squirrel!" or so I thought.  Later I figured out that she said, "swirl" which makes a little more sense but not nearly as hilarious.  Either way, I think she learned a lot!

 We had a simple tour of the dairy store followed by fabulous cheese & ice cream... at 10:45 in the morning.  That's my kind of morning!

 Afterwards we did a quick look around the tractor museum.  This cab to "ride" in was the highlight.

"Red Grandpa would like this one!"

We had a fabulous time.  Thanks for organizing, Meg!

Catholic Schools Week

Look at these crazies on CrAzY dAy!

Teresa even had Pajama Day at Friends Preschool.

Preschool must have been fun today, because she fell asleep on the way home.  When I woke her up enough to come inside, she fell asleep on the couch like this for another 10, then moved to the floor for the final 10!

Light eating

We made these sunshine cupcakes for Friends Preschool last week... delicious & super cute!

The NEXT night was actually Halloween... at which point we were all tired of dressing up!  :P  I didn't take any pictures but we had a fun time at the home & in the neighborhood of a new family to the school.  Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch Preschool

 The little girls & I had a blast at the pumpkin patch for Teresa's preschool.

 She liked EVERYTHING.  She was especially a fan of the animals.. pigs, cows, goats, chickens, bunnies... I didn't get a picture of the ravenous goats.  They were both chewing on my coat & on a poor little girl's ponytail!  :P

 

Thanks for organizing, Meg!  We had a lot of fun.

Friends Preschool

Well, Teresa is THAT big.  We've started another round of Friends Preschool!  Though this time my dear friend Meg is always the teacher & she is awesome!  Here are some of the class.

 Teresa loves everything about Friends Preschool but is a special fan of making the frogs jump on the parachute.  Who wouldn't love that?



Friends Preschool

 Teresa has started school!

Friends preschool that is.  :)  She wanted her picture on the front steps like the big kids.

 We made this placemat for her a couple of weeks ago... she insisted on the zebra stripes.

They're off to a great start! 

Thanks, Meg, for such a fun learning adventure!

Lots of fun

 Rebecca was invited out for birthday fun with her classmate Madeline.  (She's the one with the blue slushie lips!)  It was a nice little preschool reunion & TONS of fun.  This is one of those places where it's almost impossible to get them to stop playing long enough to snap a picture!

We had such a great time!  Thanks for inviting us, Madeline. 

Happy Birthday!

Adios, preschool

 She did it.

Rebecca is officially now a Kindergartner!

We enjoyed her last day with her class at the park.  She really loved her teacher.  Thank you Mrs. C!

 A rare blue duck

 Ride that worm!

 Yes, that's Rebecca walking the ridge with her buddy Anna.  She's still not a daredevil by any means, but I can't believe how much more adventurous she has become just in this year!

Their version of Duck, Duck, Goose involved the occasional modification of words... like Flower, Flower, Bee or Chicken, Chicken, Moose & 4 laps around the circle giggling like crazy.  So cute!
