K graduation party

Awards and K Graduation
6/09

All of the K's ~ Michaela, Rosa, Alayshia, Amber, Adrian, Nicholas

The class and I made 'Carry Me With You' bags for the teachers. Each child painted their hand on the bags. It took us several weeks and a little bit of mess here and there, but it was so worth it! They loved doing it and Ms. Engelbrecht and Ms. Jones loved receiving them.

It was so sweet of Mema to get Papa to bring her to Rosa's party so soon after dental work.

The party... crazy... fun...

All the excitement and sugar led to Rosa's quickly fading...

Stuff for the party
I made snowman pretzels as gifts for the students and teachers. I know, I'm no Martha Stewart... but it was fun working on them :)

Rosa was very happy to have her Mema and Mama join her for lunch at school. We were happy to spend the special time with her. :~)

Second Day Alta Vista :~)

Rosa wanted only 'twirly' skirts for school clothes. We didn't find a lot of them but she loved that we tried and that she was able to have a say in her clothes. Most mornings she was so tired that I had to dress her while she was half asleep and she ate breakfast on the way to school. And PINK is her favorite color...

I love this outfit. We searched for a a week and a half to find a shirt to match the skirt she had to have. It was worth it! Of course she has a way of looking super cute in anything that she wears.
