Growing up

As you all know my oldest baby graduated Preschool last night. It wasn't as sad as I had thought it would be, mostly b/c Colton kept the ceremony comical and embarrassing..ha. Colton goes on to Kindergarten this fall and Dakota will go to Preschool. I have been around the children in Colton's class all year, helping out with the school, PTO, etc. It's sweet to see Colton go to Kindergarten with the friends he has made, plus many more from the Baptist Church Preschool. The school is expecting around 42 children for Kindergarten this fall...wow. I do want to give a huge pat on the back to Colton's teachers: Kerry and Lori and all the staff at the school. Kerry and Lori have really made an impact on the children and I've noticed them transform stubborn, abnoxious 4 yr olds into egar learners. I look forward to Dakota benefiting from it next year.

Now that summer vacation is here, the boys have initiated it with a bang. They have gone to my parents for a few days. Although I want to smack both of them at times, I miss them already. I have many plans for the next couple days: rearranging furniture, finish painting the kitchen/dining room, getting Haelie's stuff organized, etc. It's not much of a vacation for me, but I will enjoy the solitude. Wish me luck!

Today is Preschool Round-up (just paperwork mostly) and my last day of driving for the school!
