Y and Z

This past Wednesday was our last day of preschool.  It has been a great year of teaching, learning, growing in both knowledge and friendships, and it's been a year of fun.  The final day of preschool was at our house which seemed fitting since the first day of preschool was at our house.  It was just Ian and Aurelia in attendance.  We did letter Yy, Zz, reviewed our numbers, and did some fun crafting.  I can't believe how different both of these kiddos are now compared to when we just started. They are so much more independent and confident in their work.  They are eager to learn and ready to do their work. They can transition from one activity to the next with ease and are so helpful with cleaning up their messes and work areas.  They have become each others best buddies and encouragers.  They have grown so much and I look forward to seeing them continue to grow into the amazing people God intends them to be.  We will be planning a preschool graduation and potluck luncheon soon.  It will be nice to end the year with a celebration with all of the kids and their families.  Even though we are done with preschool I know that we will continue to have play dates with our preschool friends over the summer and into the next year.  I think the mommies will get together quite often too. I am so thankful for this year and the other ladies who committed to this preschool program.  I love being a stay at home mom and everything I do must help me be a better mommy and wife.  Being able to use my experience as a teacher to teach Ian and his friends has been such a blessing.  I know that he will be off to school full time much sooner than I want so to be able to give him this time and attention was the best thing I could ever do.

Mission Project

Isabella had to work on her Mission's Project this past week.  It turned out to be a family project since it took all 4 of us to get it done.  Mr. G was in charge of the measuring, cutting, and assembling of the actual mission buildings.  Isabella and Ian painted all of the mission walls, bell tower, and roof.  I was in charge of buying all of the supplies and making sure we had everything we needed to get it all done.  Isabella did a lot of the cutting of the moss for the grass and I even let her use the hot glue gun (supervised of course).  It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.  We turned it in a day early and Isabella was really proud of all of her hard work and appreciated all of the work we put in to help her get it done. I'm pretty sure she'll get a good grade on it (not because I'm her teacher or anything).
