Catching up!

I am warning you now, this is kind of going to be a long post... There is always so much going on in the last month of school, and I was trying to post things one at a time so that it wasn't so long, or so hodge podge, but life is flying by too quickly, that I felt like I had to hurry and post them all together so that I don't get so far behind. So if you are up to it, here is what we've been doing...

First off was field day at the school. I only got pictures of Melissa at the field day because Spencer's group was in the afternoon and I was off with Jenna for her preschool graduation. Jenna, Jayden and I went over to school for the last hour of the field day. When we got there, Melissa looked like this... And that was after going down the water slide! That's right, the water slide! Jenna went down it, and I tried to get a video of it, but only caught the end because I thought that I had pushed the button, but didn't and then when I realized it, she was pretty much done and didn't want to go down again.

Sorry it is sideways, but I don't know how to fix that!

It was really an AMAZING activity. The ladies that planned and executed the event did a great job, and the kids had a lot of fun. There were all sorts of relays for the kids, as well as, water games, snow cones, dancing (where they taught the kids different line/group dances), balloon rockets...

And of course, my favorite, the dunking booth!

And this is what she looked like afterwards! They warned the kids to bring a change of clothes, which Melissa did, all except the shoes, so we ran home afterwards, and brought her back a dry pair of shoes. I asked a lot of the kids what their favorite parts were, and while most liked either the waterslide or the dunking booth, they all said the rest was still real fun.

Jayden and Jenna were also happy to be able just to play on the school playground.

They don't get to do that very often, and it is a real treat when they do. Jenna is already calling herself a kindergardener! And she looks the part!

At one point Jenna heard the "Macarena" song going, so she stopped to show me what she had learned at preschool.

Which leads me to the next part of our day and why we didn't get pictures of Spencer at field day. It was also Jenna's preschool graduation. And I have to say, it was a very well put together program. It just went from one part to the next. It was quick and very entertaining! When the kids arrived at the graduation, they gave each of the kids a flower necklace and had them sit in the front row. Jenna told me beforehand that she was sitting inbetween her two boyfriends. I love that at that age, boys that you play with are your boyfriends plain and simple.

Next they did a little program of some songs that they learned at preschool. This first one is called the "Hello" song and this is the very end... Get down Jenna!

Following that, they did this song about being in Pre-K:

Followed by the friend song {Which isn't exciting, but it is Jenna's favorite song, so I thought that I would include it}.

Following that they did the "Macarena" and since I pretty much already posted it, I just got a little bit of it to add here.

Following the program, they had each of the kids go across the stage where they said something nice about each kid and gave them their "diploma".

If you can't quite catch what they are saying, it says that Jenna is Miss Organization. She is always cleaning up the toys in class "just so". Making sure that all of the cups and dishes get back to where they go and in the proper way. They have told me this before. The funny thing about it is at home I have a hard time getting her to clean up. But at least I now know she knows how.

This is Jenna with her friend Grace from next door. They had a slideshow at the end, and there were several pictures of Jenna and Grace playing together. They are such cute little friends. Jenna also told me that she kind of cried during the slideshow. So I guess she unfortunately got my Dad's emotions like the rest of us!

As we head out the door, we got a picture of Jenna with her teachers. And starting in the back from right to left it is Miss Mary, Miss Jenny, Miss Katie, Jenna and Mr. Taylor. They were great people for Jenna in preschool. There wasn't ever a day when Jenna said she didn't want to go. She absolutely loved it!
