The end of things

School and such, that is.

Elliot had his end-of-the-year Kindermusik performance. I didn't post it, but his class put on the play "Peter and the Wolf". Elliot was Peter. He did such a good job! He learned so much this year and we are so thankful for his wonderful teacher, Ms. Teresa!

Then Elliot graduated from preschool! We will really miss the wonderful Miss Lisa, but Elliot is all ready for kindergarten. He worked so hard in preschool that he tested out of all the areas on his IEP, so his is starting school without one! We are really excited about this and are so grateful for all the help he got in preschool to give him that extra little boost he needed!

Grace had her end-of-the-year music program. She and her friend Aria had a speaking part.

Our awesome neighbors gave us their old swingset. Ray was against it at first (party pooper) but I can't even begin to tell you how much the kids love that old thing! He has since eaten his words. They spend hours on it. Naomi's favorite is the little carriage swing, all 4 kids can sit in it together and she just eats that up! Add that to the trampoline and our backyard pretty much rocks now!

I know that this has nothing to do with school ending, except that Naomi got in to Grace's school supplies that she brought home and I'm guessing she sucked on the black marker. I don't know how else her lips, gums and teeth could've gotten that black. Supposably those markers are washable (I beg to differ). But at least they aren't toxic!

Here are some cute pictures that Grace took of Naomi, just 'cause she's so adorable!

Maggie came downstairs the other day and told me she was all dressed. This is what I saw...

I think a little modesty talk is in order ;)

Here's to lots of summer adventures!!
