Hunter's Pre-K Graduation

 

What a cute group! 

We loved watching Hunter's performance at her Pre-K Graduation!! 

Yay, Hunter!! On to Kindergarten...

We love our girl!

Soup Day at School!

Everyone was supposed to bring a veggie for the soup today! 

 Fyn enjoyed putting her ingredient in...

 She got to take her soup to go when I picked her up!

Those eyes just show some crying today...I want my bright eyed girl back! 

Letter J!

 She enjoyed tumbling today! 

 She was happy to see me at pick up especially since she had been crying! 

Why can't we overcome this? 

Anyway, she made a cute J out of jelly beans and I got some of her other work today... 

Fyn's Ready!

 Fyn's ready for the day and there were no tears at preschool drop-off, just our usual pep talk while getting ready and the during the 15 minute drive. So I was really hoping that today would be our day for the Walmart shopping trip for any prize she wanted BUT when I got there to pick her up, her eyes were all red and puffy and her face was splotchy.  She had been crying.  When I asked her what was going on after we got in the car, she said "I just got nervous." 

John 3:16, Pledge and OCC

This morning before school, Fyn showed off some skills she's learned at preschool that I didn't even know she could do...

 Recited John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.  

 Recited the Pledge

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 

After preschool, we went to do shopping for our Operation Christmas Child boxes.  Usually big sisters pick out the things for the box their sending but I had to get it all this year without them.  Fynlie enjoyed picking out things for her girl...

 After tumbling, they got to pack them up together and write a note to the recipients. They each also paid the $9 shipping cost themselves and Katie and Rylie purchased all the items for theirs! So proud of their generous spirit...

 Praise God! We're on the 8th week of school and this is the first truly happy and smiling picture that I've been able to get the morning of school.  Separation has been rough but we're down to just a few tears streaming down right before and at drop off along with some serious pep talks.  She loves all the awesome activities that the directors and teachers plan each day and they've loved on her unbelievably.  She has so much happy stuff to tell me each day that makes me know that this has been worth it. I know she's had lots of prayers over her and I'm very thankful! 

 Look who won the smallest pumpkin entry!! 

School Day with Tumbling!

Some tears at drop off but happy up until that point and then had a great day! She didn't like TOTS anymore so we stopped that but now there's a tumbling class on Wednesdays and she was excited to try that.  She loved it today with Mrs. Amber. Hooray! Mrs. Kendra sent me these great pictures that put a big smile on my face! 

Yay for a Good Day!

Fyn cried on the way (let me tell you that 15 minute drive is brutal for me trying to maintain positive about the constant review of everything that makes all of this "okay") and a little at drop off but then absolutely nothing after I left.  I even looked at the cameras today and during music time, she was dancing and running around with all the kids.  She's never done this before!
