Pre-School Graduation

Reagan's pre-school class graduated Thursday night. They did a great job performing all of the songs and looked so cute in their caps and gowns. Here are a few pictures from the night.

PARTY!!

Reagan and Cooper's classes both had ice cream parties today, and I was there to celebrate with them!

Cooper waiting anxiously for his plate

That looks good!
Delicious!

These kids love ice cream

the spoon just slows him down!

Waiting in line to wash her hands

At the table and ready to eat

they each got cones and bowls!

so good!

Reagan put the ice cream from her bowl into her cone

we should have this for snack everyday!

Helping clean the tables ~ why doesn't she do this at home?

Making colorful cards

Twins

Reagan and Parvenae have the same dress. They have tried for several weeks to wear it on the same day to school so they could be "5 and twins in the same dress" (even wearing the same dress twice in one week which goes completely against the clothes calendar!). Finally, today was their lucky day ~ Parvenae's mom and I got together last week and decided that today would be twin dress day!

Reagan & Parvenae

Meliah wanted to be a twin too, she and Reagan have the same shoes!

Field Trip

Today was Reagan's 1st field trip in the Bumble Bee Class. Her class went to Buffalo Beal's to see all of the animals. This is a small percentage of the pictures I took!!

Just got out of the cars, and the kids couldn't wait

Reagan had bread to feed to some of the animals
She is her mother's daughter, she didn't want the animals to lick her!

Next, they were given bags of feed for the animals

Again, not wanting the animals to touch her, she'd throw the feed up high and let the animals eat it off the ground!

Reagan and Grant getting more feed

I wasn't the only momarazzi there!

Feeding the goats

Morgan and Reagan

We saw a few chickens

Feeding the baby pigs with Ms Connie

Reagan got brave and petted the kangaroo. They weren't allowed to feed him because he takes special food

I can't believe my eyes...She's actually feeding the giraffe a carrot!!

Her homework this week was to draw a picture of the animal she most wanted to see at Buffalo Beal's...Reagan drew a giraffe

Feeding the camels

She's letting a baby goat eat out of her hand!

This baby goat wasn't fenced in and Reagan followed him around feeding and petting him

The chimpanzee was easily entertained by the kids singing
