Preschool Graduation

June 8, 2011

Dear Nora and Atticus,

I absolutely loved this first year of Ready Readers Preschool and I'm giddy about the future.  It's mighty bright.

That being said,  I am soooo glad Preschool Graduation is over.  Just thinking about it gives me hives.  It was much more work than I anticipated and when it was all said and done I went home feeling very relieved it was over.

The class did a play based ona book and Goldilocks called, "The Twins and the Three Bears".  Nora was Goldilocks and her "twin" was Blondilocks.  

"My chair's too hard."                              "My chair's too soft."

Here's Narrator #1 reading his lines...

and Narrator #2 reading his lines as he put his arm arround me.  Too cute!

"Hey, somebody's been sitting in my chair!" 

"Somebody's been laying in my bed and there they are!"

Hallelujah... "The End"

The younger class sang a few songs with movements and Atticus would have nothing to do with it.  Here he is looking at the other kids like they're crazy.  

 And here he is looking off into the audience while picking his nose.

And Hallelujah... "The End"

It was then time to pass out diplomas.

And now let me present the graduating class of 2011:

After most of the parents left and only my two lifesavers (aka Richie and Katie) remained we decided to have a cake eating contest with the leftovers.  

It was Sven (Katie's husband) vs. Richie vs. little ol' Me.  Now before you start to laugh you should know that I can hold my own with eating competitions.  I've successfully won a taco eating contest, a donut eating contest, a taquito eating contest and then had a three-way-tie with a taquito/twinkie eating contest.  Yes, I'm quite proud of my talent.  I've gained a turquoise necklace, 50 bucks, and bragging rights with it.  Thank you, thank you very much.

With all of those it was to see how much we could eat, not how fast we could eat it though.  This time it was the other way around and I had never before encountered a Sven in my contests.  That man can PACK it away with lightning speed.  Richie and I were laughing so hard we were having a hard time not gagging on our cake.  Oh how I wish I had a picture.  Sven was the champ by a long shot.

Congratulations my lovelies,  Mama
