last day of preschool 2011

The last day of preschool for L this year was fun filled! It was pirate/ princess day for his and another 3 year old class. They got to come to school dressed in costume. And it was the annual last day of school picnic. L got to choose what he wanted for lunch and Daddy even got to come and eat with us! His teacher gave all her kids some sweet parting gifts including a scrapbook with pictures of the entire year and an "ABC" book filled with art they had completed. Since I knew I would be taking pictures, I brought my camera with me when I dropped off L that day. So, I got a picture of him at chapel. They have chapel every Friday and just sing and praise the Lord. It's the sweetest thing to watch!





In the fall, L will start his last year there and P will start his first year. Baby P will be in the "young 3's" class. And I will have a few hours to myself each week. What will I do?!

We all love the boys' preschool, and I'm so glad I get a few more years before we're completely done and have to say goodbye to all the wonderful people at OHCP. 

fun at the children's museum

There is a great museum in New Braunfels we got to enjoy with friends a few weeks ago. And at that museum we got to...


See a longhorn

Have fun with water play

Silly girls...How else are you supposed to get to those ducks?

Dig for dinosaur bones

And play a game peek-a-boo (which I used to get a cute picture of my sweetie)

wrapping up the school year

Our sweet C man demonstrated such good behavior throughout his kinder year. He would sometimes come home with "news tape" on his shirt that said things like:

--------------------
In April, C's school had a Family Dance and Picnic one evening. All the grades got up and performed dances they had been practicing in P.E. After they had their turn, they invited the parents to join in.

--------------------
On an unusually cold day in May, C's class visited Morgan's Wonderland for a field trip. Morgan's Wonderland is an awesome place where people of all abilities can enjoy a day of fun!

--------------------
In honor of Mother's Day, L's class had a breakfast and performance for the moms. There was yummy food and the sweet sounds of 3 & 4 year olds singing. They were so, so cute! And I was so surprised to see my lil' L singing and doing the hand motions to the songs in front of so many people.

The kids had all made one of these for their moms. I think L's got me pretty much figured out. :)

--------------------
In May, C's school held a "Reader's Restaurant." It consisted of all the kinder classes showing off their reading skills they had acquired throughout the school year. The students would come over to the parents and read a book chosen from their "menu" of books. After they completed the book, the parents would then "tip" the student with stickers. What a fantastic idea for the kinder kids to show what they had learned. And they were so brave as they went around to different parents!

Overall, I'd say all these fun activities helped bring the school year to a great end!

Easter 2011!

We celebrated Easter over at my parents' house. It was great spending some family time together and watching the boys have fun. They loved the egg hunt we set up for them! And it was so sweet how C would help Baby P find eggs. I love how when the boys are really young (4 and under) they just can't wait to see what is inside the eggs. They pick up an egg and open it right away before hunting for more eggs. It's so funny and cute!

Here are my 3 guys opening up some of their goodies (bubble toys). Well, the biggest brother is opening it for the younger two; so sweet!

Totally random, but here is a baby praying mantis that was hanging out.

Sweet boy...

Brother love...

Spring

Ahhh, Spring! When the high temperature was not 100+. Spring was full of fun times!

L's class had Wheels Day and all the kids brought their bikes to school. They had tons of fun with lots of outside time riding their wheels! 

FIESTA celebrations

L's class got to make and break cascarones!

Both C and L got to make floats for their class Fiesta parades.

L (and our Baby P) enjoyed a fun class Easter party.

And the kids had a blast at a super fun neighborhood cascarone party.

Next up...Easter!!
