Preschool Graduation

We tried to get some Easter photos, but the kids were more interested in climbing on the tree. 

 I went to Ryan's classroom for his graduation ceremony. He was so excited to tell me that today, HE was going to be the teacher! He did his pledges, recited some things, and did songs. He was so sweet and knew all the words and actions and was totally engaged. He also loved having Max and me in his classroom. It was funny that when we got there a little early, the teachers knew Max would want to play basketball so they told him he could go in the hall until it was time to start. When we went to the school later for Lily's graduation, he was very upset when there was no basketball hoop in the hall...that is what he will miss most about not dropping the kids off at school anymore.

Miss Mary and Miss Laura. They sure loved him and he loved them.

Lily was very excited about her graduation, but extremely nervous to have to stand up to wave when her name was called. She was anxious because she would be the first one to stand in her class. She did great though and sang her heart out with actions and knew all the words for her "I Am" statements. She was so fun to watch. 

Miss Anissa and Miss Debby. Her teachers loved her so much and Lily loved them back. 

And to celebrate we went to IHOP. 

Lily loves taking pictures and caught Max doing what he loves to do best. Sometimes he likes to hold the net and put the ball in and says "slam dunk."

Sometimes dinner is just cereal around here. But at least the kids are happy. The blue bowl in the corner is the bowl that stays forever on our table ever ready for Winnie-the-Pooh when he eats with us. 

Lily took a shot of her bedroom wall she decorated.
