Last Day of Pre- School...

Thursday was Gabriella's last day of preschool.  It's quite a contrast how the 

last day of school is viewed between sons and daughters!  The boys always 

have a count down and it's a major celebration when summer vacation 

begins...Gabriella was almost in tears worried about how much she would 

miss her friends!  So we came up with an idea to let her friends know we 

would love to get together for play-dates this summer!

The recipe for the yummy popcorn treat came from Mommy's Kitchen and let 

me tell you it's delicious!  We attached Gabriella's info to the bags for her to 

share with her friends.

Another mom and I worked on the end of year party.  For snacks I put 

together fruit kabobs on little umbrella sticks.  These are actually used for 

party drinks but I thought they would work great for preschool kiddos and 

would tie into their beach theme they had been having all week!

The dip is made with cool whip and strawberry yogurt with fruit on the 

bottom.  This paired with caprisuns and fruit popsicles from a classmates 

birthday served as their snacks for the day.

Gabriella was very excited to pass her treats out to her friends!

Next came game time and boy did the other mom come up with an awesome 

idea for the kiddos!

A pinata!!!  They absolutely LOVED it!!!

Gabbie has always been beyond excited when it comes to pinatas and when 

she found it there would be one at the party she was smiling from ear to ear!

Each kiddo got two hits...

She loved it!

After all the kids had a turn and it was still intact a mom took a crack at it 

and out poured the candy!!

They all ended up with lots of candy!

Next was the "egg" race which was converted to pin-pong balls for 

pre-schoolers:)  This worked awesome and the kids loved it!!

M did a great job and was totally focused on keeping the ball on the spoon!!

We can't put into words what an incredible first year of pre-school Gabriella 

had!  She will be attending pre-K there next year and the GREAT news...one 

of her awesome teachers will be "promoting" to pre K with her!!!  Gabriella is 

very excited that Ms. K will be one of her teachers again!!!
