Preschool Graduation

I feel so fortunate that Macy had such a positive experience with preschool.   She looked forward to class every time and was so happy to report all they did when she got home.  We love Macy's teacher, Miss Debbie (or as Macy pronounces it "Stebbie"), and I am so glad Macy gets to have her next year too.  Miss Debbie wrote three strengths for each child on flowers they colored.  She wrote smart, problem solver and happy for Macy.


The program was adorable.  She even taught the kids a little square dance.   It is so amazing to watch your kids grow up!

Here are some of our favorite projects from the year:

Also, for the first three weeks, Macy wanted me to take her picture before school.  

Here are those pictures:

If the Shoe Fits . . .

I drive carpool for preschool on Thursdays. Unfortunately, that almost always means that I have to wake Julia from her nap so that we can go pick up the girls. Today when I got her out of her crib, she actually stayed asleep. So I quickly slipped my shoes on while carrying her, put her in the car seat, and congratulated myself on a successful sleeping transfer from crib to car.


The class was a little late getting out today, so all the parents were out of their cars waiting for the kids.  As soon as the little neighbor girl saw me, she asked why I was wearing "those shoes." I looked down and this is what I saw:
