Last Day of Preschool

It's hard to believe that Hannah has already finished her first year of preschool.  Today was her last day in the Rainbows Class.  The kids all wore their closing day picnic tee-shirts that they'd made in class and we all had ice cream sundaes in the gym before heading into the class room for some closing songs.  The teachers had prepared portfolios for each of the kids to show how far they'd come in drawing pictures, writing their names, and some fun things they'd done throughout the year.  We're going to miss Mrs. Long and Mrs. McCray next year.  Hannah has made some really good friends in school this year and we've had a number of playdates with them already -- and I'm sure that will continue this summer.

Hannah's class picnic was only for an hour, but it didn't start until 10:30, so I went ahead and took the whole day off work so I could spend time with the the girls and get some "me time" when they went to the sitter's after school.  I let Hannah walk the WHOLE WAY to school for the first time ever (it's about a mile and I usually follow closely in the van but make her get in at the edge of our neighborhood after the first 1/2 mile).  Today I walked down with both girls....knowing that when Lisa would pick up the girls for the afternoon that she'd give me a ride home!  I spent the afternoon cleaning the house and getting a massage - not a bad way to spend the day.
