Last Day of School

I know that people say this all the time but it is so hard for me to believe that my baby is going to be starting Kindergarten in the fall.  This past year he had the honor of attending Community of Care Montessori Preschool taught by Ms. Sharon and Ms. Jennifer.  Two of the best teachers in my opinion.  I am a little bias since this is where I use to work also.  They are so caring and loving to each and every child that comes through the door.  Not that I want our little girl to grow up but I am excited for her to have the same wonderful experience that Elliott had.  Thank you Ms Sharon and Ms Jennifer for loving your job and all of the kids.  You guys are the BEST!  Here are a few pictures from the beginning of school and the last day of school.

Elliott's First Field trip

So in June Wes and I were able to go with Elliott and his preschool class on his first of many to come field trips.  We went down to Washington State Extension Center to the kids garden and got a tour.  It was a lot of fun and turned out to be a great day.  We were all set for rain but it was actually a little warm.  We were able to take Edith with us and they got a tour of the garden, and were told that they were going to see the Giant from Jack and the bean stock.  Elliott was so excited to see the giant only to find out that it was just his footsteps and his chair.  There was a little disappointment but he got

over it.  Here are a few pictures.

 Elliott found this chair in the garden and every time they would talk about seeing the giant and then they had to wait or it did not really exist, he headed back to it.  It was a quaint little spot in the middle of the garden.

 At the end of the tour the kids were able to plant a pumpkin plant.  Ours did not make it:(

 This was all that was there of the Giant.

It was a great field trip and we look forward to many more.
