Hello SUMMER!

We COULD NOT have been happier with Quinn’s first year of pre-school! We loved the curriculum, the teachers, his new friends…and, most importantly, HE LOVED IT! I feel so thankful that his first impression of school was such a positive one and will forever be grateful to his first teachers for making it so special for him. …

But, even though I cherished the one-on-one time with my Chubber Bubs, I was excited to start our summer and have lots more lazy days at home! So, when he was at school for the very last day, I got ready to celebrate! …

I made a “run through” sign for him (a new tradition)…Last of School 2011 007…and made the easiest, jello “cake”…decorating it with his legos. I had MORE fun making this fun little treat…

Then, at the end of the day, Nash, Matt and I headed up to school to celebrate a whole school year completed!…

It was bittersweet saying goodbye to Miss Kara and Miss Lisa! What sweet and special ladies they were to Q this year…

Goodbye first year of preschool…HELLO SUMMER! We’re glad you’re here!

I love how you made Quinn's last day of school so special. My son's last day is on Friday --- he will just love running through a sign! Thanks for sharing this great idea!
