Kindergarten Graduation

Lucas graduated from Bright Horizons Kindergarten today!  Their ceremony was very impressive.  After a precession, they recited their morning poem, including "Mistakes are good, they help us grow, they teach us we need to know."

(sorry for the bad conversion ... working on a better one)

Each graduate took their turn on the bridge to share the two favorite things they learned over the last year.  Lucas was happy to have learned about the ocean and dinosaurs.  They also sang a couple of songs with Ms. Lily, their Chinese teacher, and she gave them each a red dragon and a page with their name in Chinese.  After that, it was graduation time!  As they went through their class, Ms. Lisa and Ms. Sarah handed out their diplomas.  I think a lot of kids were timid in front of the large group of proud parents and family, but they did great!

We're very proud of our Superdude!

Car Wash Service

The kids seem to have an appreciation for cleaning, at least on their terms. Back in February (and several times since), they really wanted to clean the bathroom. Now that it's nice outside, time to put them to work on Mommy's car. :)

Happy 2nd Birthday Hannah!

We got to celebrate Hannah's 2nd birthday today! The goldfish cupcakes were a big hit!

Wedding Bells

Megan's teacher Ms. Tiffany is getting married! To celebrate, all the kids in Hubble room dressed up for the occasion. :) Megan got to be paired up with her buddy Alex!

Space Diorama

Lucas made his second diorama for school ... this time with a space theme. He was very proud of the finished product. He had fun rolling little balls of clay and then painting them once they were baked. Convenient that he had an astronaut as part of one of his Lego sets. :)

Happy Easter

Time to make some pretty eggs!

Happy Easter! In order to get a nice picture, we also have to get a goofy picture. :)

Hunting for eggs in the backyard ...

Hilton Head Island

Vacation!!! We headed to Hilton Head Island to spend a week with Aunt Barb, her friend Wilma, Uncle Mike, Aunt Dawn, Kayla and Chelsea. We had an awesome time! We had a heated pool at our house, so we spent a fair amount of time in the water between the pool and the ocean. We also got to visit several parks and several ice cream shoppes (Lucas determined "Blue's Clues" was his favorite - blue raspberry with marshmallows, and Megan liked pink cotton candy best). We also made a trip to Savannah to dine at Ms. Wilkes' Dining Room ... after an hour or so, we finally got in and enjoyed massive amounts of food ... very tasty!



The kids loved the water. They spent more time in the pool than the adults since the pool heater quit working, but the adults had fun with them for a few days. Everyone had a great time at the beach, we just had to watch out for the many jellyfish. We found shells and sand dollars, dug holes, buried parts of people, made sand castles, chased seagulls, splashed in the water, played frisbee and more.
