Charlie's Gr8!!!

Happy Birthday to Charlie!!!

This was the first birthday day that has also been a school day. All the kids are summer (or almost summer) birthdays. I'm a summer birthday too & I thought it was great that Charlie could go to school & be the center of attention for a while! So I got to make cupcakes for Charlie & his friends. I made so many that Charlie got to help pass the extras around to the other teachers, because it was also teacher appreciation week, & there were STILL cupcakes left over!

That night we had a small family dinner at Habenero's & opened family gifts, mostly Star Wars stuff.



Later, Charlie had a 'Video Game' party with just a few of his best friends. And of course, there were more Star Wars gifts!

Here's some more on Henry's preschool graduation.

Here Henry is giving a big hug to his wonderful teachers for the year; Miss Fenton, & her mom, Mrs. Fenton

Here are the kids gathering to perform a song they had been practicing all year long, but now it had a new & special finale! It was really cute with the kids using their BIG voices & their quiet voices, lots of hand movements. And at the end, the new & special finale, all of the kids tossed their graduation caps into the air. Everyone... except for Henry. I can only imagine how excited the kids were to rip off those caps & throw them wildly into the air! But Henry, he kept that cap on until the very end!

Well, now it's been two months since I have posted, shame on me. For so long nothing was happening, & then we just had tons of stuff. The end of the school year is so busy, lots of field trips, field day, programs...

Henry graduated from preschool, possibly for the first time. He had a screening for kindergarten & he's borderline for being ready, he is one of the youngest in his group. We had this same issue with Charlie & had to learn the hard way by starting him in school & then pulling him out. Lone Jack has such an awesome program, with the screening & the kindergarten prepardeness he's in for summer school right now. These things may not completely get him ready for kindergarten this year, but it may help to ease Stacey & I into waiting another year. He's so darn smart, he's got all the stuff he needs to know, he's just too busy to hold still yet for a classroom. We'll see...
