Thursday

Thursday was Caralie's last day of preschool. Miss Kara hosted a water party and everyone wore their swimsuits. They played in wading pools with squirt toys and threw water balloons. Caralie had a blast.

When I arrived to pick her up, everyone was sitting on Miss Kara's porch:


She gave each child a customized workbook for them to practice writing their name and letters, a certificate of graduation with a coupon for a free kids meal at Souper! Salad!, and a bag of goodies including candy and bubbles:


And here is the class of 2009:

L-R: Carson, Camden, McKay, Kelby, Cade, Miss Kara, Cassidy, Kavai (sp?), Breck, Conner, and Caralie.

And here is Caralie with her wonderful teacher:

Miss Kara lamented, "You'd think I'd know by now to wear make-up on the last day!" Don't worry, Miss Kara, we think you are lovely au natural.

And here is Caralie with her booty:

To celebrate we went to Sonic for some Tots and Cream Slushes:


I had grape and Caralie had blue coconut:


Caralie is very depressed that preschool is over. To be honest, I am too. It's the end of an era.

She has told me that she doesn't want to go to kindergarten because it will be new people (kids), a new teacher, a new classroom, and a new building. She likes her preschool kids, her preschool teacher, and her preschool classroom. So I have a few months to convince her (and myself) that kindergarten is not going to be awful, but fun. Wish me luck!
