"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

The End of a First

AnnMarie's first year of preschool is over! wow. I feel like I just got used to the idea of her being a "preschooler", and now we're one year down!
To celebrate, we had an End of Year party complete with water activites and outdoor snacks. (Popsicles! and the like) I mean, what else could be better?
Here they are going wild as soon as they got to the party spot:


My friend, Brooke, helped me put together these buckets for their snacks.

AnnMarie and her best buddy, Ella, made mud soup. ??? hmmm

Cutie little Wade. I just had to snap a picture of him giving the teachers his flowers. Speaking of teachers---I forgot to get pictures with Mrs. Conner and Mrs. Thompson! oops! Glad we got some when school started!

All the kids made their own "beach in a jar" to keep for the summer!

Things are going by faster and faster! I can't believe it's time for PreK. I'm so thankful you love school so much, AnnMarie! You had a wonderful year and were blessed with caring, excellent teachers! You have officially grown out of all things "baby" or "toddler". What a darling girl you have become. Now to PREpare for K-indergarten! :)
