Graduation!

2016-05-08

This week I graduated from preschool! I will be starting kindergarten in the fall and majoring in coloring, counting, and getting paste all over everything.

Cupcakes Mommy made for the after party. I picked the colors.

Emmelia and Garrett came over again on Thursday - and we made towers with the yogurt cups and smashed them!

Making the best mess we can.

On Friday Daddy took the day off work and I took the day off school. We went to see Great-grandma Dorothy and then to Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne's house to stay for the weekend. Mommy and Daddy had a lot of work to do on our garden. They made seven trips to Menards to buy dirt and wood chips and plants and seeds. Daddy says we have a Mazda dump truck after all that stuff they hauled in the car.

It's a little easier to use my dump truck.

And more fun.

The work is done - time to play!

In my sandbox.

Sunday afternoon Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne brought me home - and this is what I saw in the backyard! Then Daddy and Mommy put me to work.

Our garden got a lot bigger!

This is a heavy load.

But I can do it.

What's this? A sandbox for my house?!

Helping Daddy move my sandbox.

This looks like a good spot.

Wow! A new loader for my new sandbox!

Another picture of all the work Mommy did this weekend.

Once the sun went down a little and it cooled off, Mommy and I did some planting in the garden. What a fun week!

Take care, everyone! Next week is the Touch-A-Truck Day and I am so excited!
