arching song. I marched with the girls around the room and then once it was over, all the little ones got in their chairs while the teachers and parents passed 
out their goodies. The little ones dove in to their fruit, chicken nugets, and chectos. To top it off, the goodies were finished up with cup cakes. Around that time, Mom and Emily arrived over at the party. We played for a little while, the teachers handed out their various treat bags and then we all headed out.

ds were just getting up from their naps and everyone was heading to the story board to enjoy a story while the other teachers set up for the party. Before long, Daddy arrived to join in the festivities. Once it was time for t.jpg)
he party, all the kids came over to the table and took a seat while the goodies were handed out. In typical toddler fashion, they dug in to the Cheetos. along with a few other goodies. After the kids were done with their goodies and they started to disburse around the room, t.jpg)
he teachers helped each of the kids give their parent who attended their presents they had made. Bailey went first and was so excited to help me open the ornament she made. It was very precious. She had used paint to put her hand print on there. She also have me a wreath she had made. After Bailey's turn to give me her presents was up, we moved on to Ansley who had made equally as precious gifts. Once I had looked at the gifts and moved them to a safe place where the ornaments could not be broken, the teachers came around to the kids with the gifts they .jpg)
had gotten for each child. Ansley and Bailey were so excited to get their books and stickers and were also quite curious to see what others had gotten. .jpg)
n to fall on the girls birthday, I had brought cup cakes and party hats for the group. The kids made their way back tot he table where we put on their party hats, sang happy birthday, and then passed out the cupcakes. 
ived at the school around 2:45 and the kids were enjoying themselves in front of the story board. I joined the group as they were finishing up the story and then a song. Afterwards, the girls and I played in their room for a few minutes before it was almost time to set up for their Thanksgiving feast. When it was time, we helped the kids get to their seats and started passing out their place mats they had made that week. They were very cute and included finger paint hand prints in the center of the mats that were made in to turkeys. In ad
dition, they also pasted some other items on the mats. After the kids all had their mats, the teachers and parents helped fix and pass out plate
s to the kids in order to start their feast. Bailey was very excited about her macaroni and cheese, bread, and ham. While Ansley could not get enough fruit, especially strawberries. Since the girls had chosen places across the tables
from each other, I kept switching sides to see both of them and to help them out. Soon Mom arrived from work and the girls were very excited to see her. After thoroughly filling up on fruit and other goodies, Ansley lead Mom around the room and they played
while Bailey continued to enjoy her meal. She was very thankful!!! After enjoying all her food, she decided she would top it off with a cupcake before heading off to play. The girls were having a great time, so we played in the room with some of their friends for a while, said our good byes to the teachers, and then headed out to start the Holiday. 
Around 3:30, Emily and I left her room and headed up to Ansley and Bailey's class for their party. When we arrived, they were seated so we made a pl
ace on the floor beside them. The teachers handed out plates and the girls immediately dug in to all of their goodies, with the icing on the cookies and th
e cupcakes being their favorite parts. They also were nice about giving pieces to Emily, however she was pretty fully from her party and really just wanted to play since she was well
in to her sugar rush. Once they were pretty well done with their feast, Mom arrived and they were excited to see her. They finished off any icing they could find and then I whipped them down so play time could begin =) The little ones played while I helped Emily with an unfortunate costume malfunction. Everyone had a great time. Since it had warmed up a little bit, we took off their costumes to give the little ones a breather. 
riday after noon, March 21st, I arrived at Palmetto Prep around 2:00 pm. It was a gorgeous day!! When I got there, I headed to Emily's class to help in getting set up for the Easter party. Mrs. Taylor, the other pre-k teacher was there, so I helped her in getting the drinks ready before Ms. Doyle arrived back in the class with Mrs. Taylor's students. Mrs. Taylor took her students and met up with Ms. Doyle's class, while Ms. Doyle and I headed out to the infant play ground to hide the eggs. After we had started hiding the eggs, Amy, the room mother for Ms. Doyle's class arrived and helped us finish hiding the eggs. Needless to say, there were lots of eggs, and towards the end we ran out of hiding places so we started scattering them in the grass. After hiding the eggs, we headed back to the class to get the kids plates fixed for the party. Soon after we started fixing them, Daddy and Katrina arrived to help. We go t things set up and then headed back outside to meet up with the kids. On our way, we headed to Ansley and Bailey's door to see them. Luckily their hunt was starting so we were able to get them and help them in looking for eggs. Ansley immediately found two in the play tunnel and she was happy. Bailey found her first one and she was thrilled. The girls seemed to 
want to play in the grass with their eggs, so we took a seat and they shook their eggs. Soon, Emily's class arrived. They were coming through the toddler playgroup and heading over to the infant play ground to start their hunt. I carried Bailey and Daddy had Ansley for Emily's hunt. Unlike the toddles, it was fast and furious for the big kids in the pursuit of eggs. They all seemed to have a great time and Emily's basket was overflowing with eggs. Towards the end, the kids loved showing their eggs off to Mrs. Taylor, Ms. Doyle, and all the other parents and grandparents. After the hunt was over, we all headed back over to Emily's class for the party. The kids really enjoyed their snacks, but I think they were more anxious than anything to open their eggs. We did not stay a long time before headed over to Ansley and Bailey's class to pick up their bags and snack. They were also having a party in their room. After getting their stuff, we all headed out, I took the little ones, and Emily headed home with Daddy and Katrina to spin the night.
After another crazy week in busy season, I slipped away for an hour to the girls new school to participate in their Valentines Party. When I first arrived, the children were seated and it was time to start passing out their goodies. The kids were so excited that when one person's plate was passed out beside Ansley, she swiped his banana. Quickly all the kids got plates and were digging in. On of Ansley's favorites were the creatos. Bailey seemed to love the cookies the most, but still dug in to all of it. It was very. In addition to their stacks, the kids exchanged valentines during the day. Everyone had a great time, until it was time for me to slip off to Emily class party.
Emily seemed very excited. As we came in, we first spoke with one of the director's staff to get any last minute details, including our door codes. As is turned out we had grown up together in Sugar Creek. It is quite a small world. She the took us to their class where we met their teachers. who all seemed very nice. After droppong off Ansley and Bailey, John and I took Emily to her class. She was very excited and it was had to get a hug and a by. She was off and playing.
