Looking at the Stars

Claire noticed that I (finally) updated my blog this morning and asked me to put up a drawing she made. So here it is!

Claire's End of the Year Program

Claire's class had their end of the year program last Wednesday, June 13th. They recited some poems and sang some songs. No video for this one- left the camera that does video at home. But I did get a few pictures on my cell phone :)

Waiting for the program to start

As you can see, Claire was really excited to be reciting poetry :)

Really big smiles after it was over! And check out Claire's new front teeth!

Max's last day of Preschool

Here is the little program from Max's last day of preschool, which was May 18th. Better late than never :)

Both kids brought home great drawings from school today!

If you are a Star Wars fan, you will understand Max's:

And Claire has drawn herself deep in thought:

Mother's Day Tea

This morning Max's preschool held their annual Mother's Day Tea.  It was a super cute event, complete with lots of happy tears from the moms.  Here's the video:

And here is Max's forced smile when I asked him for a photo after the show!

After the songs, we all had cookies and lemonade on special plates the kids had made. No tea. Oh well.  It was a fun event and the kids were so proud of themselves for making a special occasion for their moms. 

Zookeeper Max

This morning Max's preschool opened their zoo!  Every child in the class got to be a zookeeper. They each brought in a favorite stuffed animal and helped to build a habitat for it. Max and his buddy Grayson both brought in a stuffed elephant, so they shared their habitat. They had a watering hole, some hay for bedding, and a fence to keep them in. Here are the happy zookeepers:

Each kid dictated a statement about their animal to their teacher, and those were printed and put in the habitats.  Max's statement is below:

Here's a shot of Max with his elephant:

Max's view of me

Max brought this drawing home from school yesterday! I love the umbilical cord! He realized when he got home that he forgot to give me arms- so they are a more recent addition.
