some preschool fun

Where in the world did May go? 

What a busy busy BUSY month we had, with just about as much packed into our days as possible.

The month started out with Taylor's first ever fieldtrip.

Her preschool went to the zoo.

And Mason and Gavin got to go along too.

Who would have thought that getting the boys back out to the car would be so difficult and full of drama.  Mason was so exhausted he didn't want to walk. How wonderful.  Nor did he want to look at the camera.  Man, the zoo is such hard work.



That same week, Taylor's preschool got to join the rest of the elementary school for Field Day.

Mommy spent the whole morning setting up stations and then got to go around with Taylor's group during the afternoon.  Daddy even got off work early and drove out to hang out for a little bit too.



 Oh man.  If I could only explain the anxiety I had just seeing her stand in this lane ready to run a 50m dash.  I stood in that lane so many times in high school, and there is NO other sport that tore my nerves and emotions up more than track.  Crazy how just standing out on a track in those lanes can bring back so many memories and feelings.  I will be totally okay if neither of my kids ever run track.

Thank goodness this is preschool.  And just for fun.  And she didn't have a clue what she was doing.  Nor what place she came in.  She was just told to run!  And when she did, she smiled all the way. I definitely do not remember smiling like that when I ran.

 And then we had the last day of Pre-K.

 We are definitely sad to say goodbye to Mrs. Helsel.  We had hoped she'd be Mason's teacher too, but she won't.  Taylor loved her SO much.  We were so thankful and so blessed to have a teacher who loved Taylor back so much too!

Stay tuned for a few more end-of-the-year events.
