Disneyland fun!

We had a wonderful day at Disneyland with Aunts, cousins and Grandpa and Mary. Brandon and I have the BEST family. Here are some goofy pictures of the kiddos and I.

What a difference a year makes.

First day of school and last day of school. A year sure makes a huge difference.

Last week of school!

Something fun was planned for each day of the last week of school. On Monday it was "Sports Day," Tuesday was "Share Day," Wednesday was "Celebrating Summer Birthday's," and Thursday was "Blast of To Summer Day." Wow! What a full and fun week it has been! THIS is what Brandon brought to school for his "share" on Tuesday. It was a HIT! (and yes, we had to bring the blue water to demonstrate!)
Here are Brandon and London on Wednesday, celebrating all of the summer birthday's. London and Mrs. K both have birthday's that fall in the summer. It was a great day of celebration! I made Mrs. K some chocolate flowers for her birthday. Each student got one to take home!
Here they are on their very last day of kindergarten. They enjoyed ice cream will all the fixin's! It was a great day. This year has been amazing. I know that Brandon and London had the best time being together in class. They will remember it always (at least I hope they will)! They are very best friends and I'm sure they will stay that way for a very long time...hopefully for forever. After school it was time for London and Brandon's "Summer Kick Off Party!" Their entire class was invited and many of them came. It was a super fun time in London's awesome backyard. The kids were swinging, singing, jumping, playing games and eating lots of yummy treats! It was the PERFECT way to end a fantastic school year. Bye-bye kindergarten...hello SUMMER! ;)

totally toothless...

Well Brandon's other front tooth came out last night. That makes six teeth gone in all. Such a cute lil' toothless magoo.

Sports Day and AWARDS!

For "Sports Day" the kindergarten friends got to wear a sports uniform of their choice. Brandon wore his old soccer jersey from when he played on the "Sharks" team. They had a day full of activities. First they played on the "big kid" playground. (This is the playground that Brandon will be at for first grade!) Next they did hopscotch relays.
Then they got to play at the bubble station.

And lastly, they had fun on the swings.

Each kindergarten friend receives an award at the end of the school year. Brandon and London got their awards today. It was so cute.
Brandon's award was for being a "Great Reader!" It also said- "Great Smile, Nice Hair and Super Smart." I totally agree Mrs. K! Brandon actually cried when he got his award because he was so happy. It was the sweetest thing.

Almost first graders! YIKES! ;)

pizza with the principal

Brandon got to have "pizza with the principal" because he did so much reading this year. Way to go my lil' reader! :)

Multicultural Day and Open House

Brandon had a great experience at Sumner-Danbury's annual Multicultural Day. Each classroom in the entire school represents a different country. Many weeks of preparation are put into this event and it was extremely evident as I saw the various classrooms. They were all amazing! On this special day, the students are assigned two "countries" to go to, and they even have a "passport!" Brandon and London went to "India" first. Here they learned a stick game. By the way, I LOVE LOVE this picture of London!
The next county to see was "Mexico." Brandon enjoyed making a mask and eating chips and salsa.

Our classroom represented "Canada," therefore the kindergartners were "Canadian Mounted Police" for the day. So super cute!

Then the entire school sat together to say "hello" in their countries language and to sing a couple of songs.
Later that night it was Open House. Brandon enjoyed showing me some of the things he has done this past year in Kindergarten (even though I have been there helping out several times a week and have already seen it all!)
Here is Brandon and his beautiful teacher Mrs. K. in front of "Niagara Falls." I love her to pieces. Maybe I say that too much, but I just do. ;)
Cutie London and Mrs. K.
After visiting our classroom and many others, we ended the night by finding Canada's flag amongst many other flags from around the world. London started singing the Canadian National Anthem...LOVE HER! ;)
