Carolyn Graduated Preschool!

This morning, my baby girl graduated preschool!  They had a little ceremony where she said that her favorite color is pink, she likes to color, her favorite place is the waterpark, and when she grows up, she wants to be Mommy.  Yes, I totally cried when that was read.  Such a sweet girl.
Carolyn has come so far in the past 2 years of preschool!  She loves to read us books, create her own books, and draw lots and lots of pictures.  It has been fun to watch her grow over the past 2 years in preschool and I can't wait to see what she does in Kindergarten next year :D

 What a beautiful girl!

Charlie's End of the Year Celebration

Charlie had his little graduation ceremony this morning!  I can't believe his first year of preschool is already over.  His class sang the cutest little song and then they each got up to get a certificate.  Charlie said that when he grows up, he want to be an astronaut and a pizza maker so an astronaut who makes pizza in space :D  Love this kid!  We then got cookies and lemonade to help celebrate the school year.  Bring on summer!

 

 

 

 He grew up so much!!

Zoo Field Trip with Will

Will and I were so excited to be able to go to the Minnesota Zoo today with Will's 1st grade class!  I had Sarah come and watch Carolyn and Charlie so that I could go.  They did great for her and I am glad she was free so that I could go with Will.  He was so happy I could go that he asked me to sleep with him last night so that he wouldn't miss waking up in time.  How sweet is that!  I took him to school and we got on the bus!  The sweetest little girl named Melina got to hang with Will and I as we roamed the zoo.  We had fun seeing all the animals and enjoying our picnic lunch.  We walked almost the entire time and the kids were just exhausted on the way home.  Melina even fell asleep!  Will was close but couldn't get comfortable enough.  I am so glad I could go!

Bus ride! We sat in the front and I took my dramamine so I was good to go!
