Sammy finished his testing this morning (whew!), right before Lucy's last day of preschool program.  Strangely, I don't feel quite the relief I thought I would.  There's so much I would love to get done this summer but really, I think right now is a good time to just breathe....
Tonight- we celebrate!  Spaghetti for dinner (probably the one dish I know everyone likes).  Kayla won an ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery when she came in second place for the Walk for Life, so guess what's for dessert??  It is full of chocolate, just the way she likes it.

I think it has oreos, chocolate chips, chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, and cookie dough. Wow.

The little preschoolers put on their clown noses and sang circus songs for us.

It was pretty funny to watch the noses pop off and roll away as the kids sang.

The teachers did a little "graduation" for kids who won't be back to preschool next year.  Lucy is right in the middle of her best buddies- Bryson, Brock, and Dylan.

I got a little teary.

Ms. Lisa and Ms. Jo were wonderful teachers with just the right blend of love and firmness in their approach to the kids.  So thankful for them.  They took a minute to say something about each child.  Here's what they said about our Lucy:
"We will miss your gentle nature and your sweet personality.  You have been a great friend to others and a perfect role model as well.  We have been so pleased to have you in our preschool!"
