Preschool, Here we Come!

 Hope has been waiting over a month to start school, and today is the big day! Hope is blessed to go to Little Eagles Preschool at Freedom High where Spencer goes.  She gets six different high school teachers, and she is so excited to begin this new year.

I can't believe I just did the first day of preschool for the last time.

Preschool Graduation

 This morning our preschool got together with the seven families in preschool to celebrate the end of the year in a graduation ceremony and breakfast at the Cheneys' house.

 They performed for us two songs.

Congratulations Hope!  She has another year of preschool to look forward to!  Bless her little October birthday heart :)

Preschool Field Trip

 This week was my last time teaching preschool for the year for Hope's little group of preschool friends.  I decided I needed to take them on a field trip today because I'm hosting a baby shower tonight.  I tried several places for a field trip with no luck, and I finally called the Home Depot.  They were so great and took us with very little notice.

 They took the girls on a tour of the store.

 Their most favorite thing was the pink duck tape.

 Our preschool plus Faith.

 And then it got really good.  The girls got to go back to their conference room and build a bird house.  They loved it!  They especially loved that they each got their own apron they could write their name on.

 Proud girls with their bird houses.

 We had some time to kill before their moms came so I walked them to the grocery store across the car park and let them pick out a doughnut.

This was my favorite day of teaching preschool!

Preschool Party

 This week we were in charge of preschool.  I really love this preschool Hope gets to do. She loves the girls she goes to school with and with seven girls, it means the moms only have to teach four times during the school year.  We celebrated today with a Valentine's party.  The elementary school is pretty strict around here for holidays.  They have dumb rules like no candy with Valentines allowed and no sugary food at class parties.  I thought I would make up for all that with these girls.  There was no shortage of sugar at this party.
