Luke Graduates Pre-K

Congratulations Luke for graduating pre-k!
I was able to attend his graduation without the other little girls. I am very grateful to my visiting teacher for babysitting. They enjoyed seeing chickens and playing in a sand box while I was away. Eve was not a happy camper when I picked her up, it's getting harder and harder for her to be without me.
I was so proud of Luke and his classmates. As the parents entered, they stood in perfect silence until it was time for them to begin their songs and poems. They sang "I Believe I Can Fly" and an alphabet and number song. Then they proceeded to tell us the state bird, song, flower, tree, butterfly and fruit. They told us about some of the famous inventors they had learned about and then it was time to receive their certificates. Afterwards there was a meet and greet with the other parents and cake. Luke and I quickly ate cake and then went to pick up Miriam and Eve.




Ms. Brenda and Luke the Senator- when I dropped him off that morning, she said that he looked just like a senator. Is that a good thing?
We then went to McDonald's to celebrate the big day. The cashier at McDonald's let the kids have their pick of the new Shrek toys. She was super nice to them!

After our afternoon nap, we headed to the Lilburn park. Eve got to experience the swings for the first time. She loved it!
All 3 Fife kids swinging at the same time!
Miriam really liked climbing the walls
and Luke loved the monkey bars. He would never reach for the next one, just hang on and then drop to the ground. He's been pretending to be Iron Man so I think this was just part of his imaginary play.
The park was a lot of fun, but we had to head home and take a bath to cool down. It's getting really hot here in GA! Now that Eve is proficient at sitting up, I have started bathing all 3 kids at the same time. They love being in the tub together and playing! I feel so lucky to have 3 great kids who love each other and play well together...most of the time.

Now we are just looking forward to Memorial Day weekend with Morgan!

we went to McDonald's to celebrate Zoey's preschool graduation, too. Why is that always where kids want to go????

I'd never say this to my child but it is a little silly that she is "graduating" from preschool even though she's going back next year. All she knows is we celebrated her all year and that daddy brought her a rose because he wasn't able to be there so she thought it was a great day!
