Ok, this will FINALLY finish out Gabby’s Kindergarten year. They had a Fun & Field Day where the kids got to play outside water games, bounce arounds and snow cones. I think at this point the kids, teachers and parents were a little exhausted and ready to start our Summer. We all loved Kindergarten though and made so many sweet memories. I know Gabby was the only one who actually went to Kindergarten this year but I feel like we’ve all been through it with her. I’m sure 1st grade will bring it’s own set of amazing memories too though. 1st grade here we come!
And in keeping with the ridiculously late blog posts I guess it’s finally time to post about Gabby’s Kindergarten Celebration. After all, next week she’ll be a 1st grader. I can’t believe it! So not ready for that. And really not ready for Summer to be over but Gabby is excited to start her new year.
Anyway…below are pictures from the Celebration night. The kids dressed up and got to perform on stage at the Arend Arts Center at the Bentonville High School. I brought our video camera but forgot to erase all of the previous recordings so we ran out of room and didn’t get a video of any of the songs. But we did get a picture of Gabby getting her Citizenship Award! We were so proud of her!! 2 students from each class were selected for the award and our sweet Gabby girl was one of the 2 from her class. The award goes to someone who has been a good example for the rest of the class with behavior and attitude. She was a little embarrassed but very proud to get an award. It was a great night and a sweet finish to our year.
This is her I’m a fabulous diva movie star look that she loves to give sometimes.
One of the big events at the end of the school year was a Pirate Adventure that was planned by all the Kindergarten home room moms. There are some amazingly creative, talented mommies out there! I loved seeing how it all came together and the kids had a great time.
Our class was in charge of the Photo Booth. My co-home room mom Tracy did such a good job pulling everything together. I love how it turned out and the kids did a good job getting creative with poses, etc.
One of my contributions. Pirate flags listing each class and buckets of sand and treasure for each of the tables. Some of the other cute booths. Pirate Sword Ring Toss Tattoos This one was amazing! One of the moms made this treasure map just using blue cupcakes from SAM’S and she added all of the extra toppings to make it into a map. So creative! Pirate ship food table All of the sweet Kindergarten teachers Dancing of course!
Just your average story. Girl meets boy, girl and boy fall in love and get married. They have a simple, quiet life then girl and boy decide to start a family. It feels like that�s where our story really gets interesting because it�s hard to remember life before kids. My husband, Michael, and I have been married since 2002 and live in NW Arkansas with our two amazing and slightly crazy kids, Gabby and Peter Michael. This blog is all about our daily, weekly, or monthly lives depending on how up to date I keep it. I�m a stay at home mom so of course there�s the average craft, etc along the way. Enjoy!
