My Baby Shower

My friend and co-worker Rachel was so super sweet enough to throw me a baby shower at work =) It was after work and Katie was allowed to come =) Other kids were there too, so she had people to play with. This is also my last week of work. I'm quitting the last day of the summer, so that when school starts back up in September with a fresh new class, they will have permanent teachers and not someone who is leaving in a few weeks :p I'm going to be able to stay home with the new baby, and I couldn't be happier! =) My boss Laura made me a cute diaper cake =)

 

 One of the games Rachel planned was to guess my due date! I have nicely decided to whack anyone on the head who wished me the evilness of going over my due date, lol. I'm hoping she comes sooner than later, I'm so anxious to meet her and be done with pregnancy. Now if only we can agree on a name for the poor girl. So far we are thinking Emma for a first name, but can't agree on a middle name. I want Riley and David wants Lee. Wish us luck!

Thank you to all my co-workers for showing up and for giving me so many wonderful presents for little Emma. I'm so excited to meet her. I am so thankful to have had the chance to meet these people and work with them and get to know them. The kids were a handful at times, the hours were horrible, but the people that worked with me and spend lunch talking to me, were the bright spot in the day. I'm going to miss them! =)

The Only Good Thing About A Cast...

Is having your friends sign it. Of course, Mommy, Daddy and Grandma wanted to sign it too ;p

Katie's Gymnastics Field Trip

My class and Katie's class went to main campus for a field trip to their gymnastics center as a last field trip of the summer, before the new school year starts next week. Maria even brought her daughter Leah.

 They were not prepared for us at all, apparently, someone forgot to make the reservation or something, so the workers did the best they could to make sure the kids had a fun time.

What a chaotic fun day for the kids. It was so crazy not having anything planned, but the end result was the kids having a great time anyway, so that's awesome. Katie sure enjoyed herself. They did the parachute, then did an obstacle course and the kids just went around and around on that until it was time to go back to school for lunch. But it was a lot of fun for them, jumping in the foam blocks, swinging on the ropes, and all that fun stuff.

Learning Tree's Luau

Our school combined classes for our end of the year party, on account of Katie's class only had a tiny bit of students left after they all went to Kindergarten. Miss Maria wanted to have it outside, but oh my goodness it was hot! I was not a happy camper trying to get everyone their lunch and desserts! lol. A Mom made these cute beach cupcakes for us!

Rio

My class and Katie's class both went on a field trip to the Dollar Theater, Movies 22. We went to see Rio and get popcorn and Sprite. Maria's daughter Abby, from main campus went with her class too. Love being able to go on field trips with Katie! =)

Water Hat Time

After one of Katie's classmates did this.

 She got her hat to protect her from further attacks! Smart girl. ;p

Katie's Preschool Birthday & Father's Day Lunch

I worked all week getting Katie's birthday party ready for school. She was able to have a great day celebrating her birthday with her friends at school. She dressed in her fancy pink dress and put on her Princess tiara and birthday girl ribbon.

 A delicious Cold Stone cake for my big 5 year old.

 We even decorated the tables =)

 Her teachers made her a birthday crown.

 Miss Maria's daughter Abby came to school with us today to celebrate Katie's big day with her.

 Rachel, Maria, and Christy even brought presents for Katie =)

 Her pinata. Only cost $10 at Vallarta. That's a good deal. The candy and toys, on the other hand, is where it got expensive! lol.

 After all the kids had a turn hitting the pinata, they let Katie break it last =)

 So much candy!

 Katie and Jaren, haha.

 Thank you for the presents! So sweet of you guys! Love my coworkers!

 Since Katie has been watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and they say "aw coconuts!" she has been asking me for a coconut. Miss Maria solved the problem buying her a coconut cup, haha. Katie loved it!

 I bought pizza for Katie's class for lunch, and her teacher also happened to throw the Father's Day lunch the same day. So Miss Dee bought some and I bought some, and the kids had a great lunch with their Daddy's.

 While I was just in my classroom being bored. lol. I took a purple hair piece from Katie's pinata to play around with :p

I hope my Princess had a super fun day! Can't wait for her party with her family. Love my girl so much! She's the best thing that ever happened to me <3 after.="" and="" best="" birthday="" br="" can="" every="" far="" grow="" happy="" i="" katie="" love="" loved="" minute="" re="" so="" spent="" t="" the="" to="" ve="" wait="" watch="" with="" year="" you="">

End Of The Year Party

My class at work had their end of the year party today, for all the kids who won't be returning for the summer. Some of the Mom's brought gifts for the teachers =) So sweet!

Can't wait to see what summer is like at work. Less kids is always a nice break ;)

Katie's Preschool Open House

I had to work overtime the night of Katie's Open House, because my class was having their Open House too, but I was able to sneak into Katie's room for a few minutes to look around at the art and pictures she had up. My Mom and Mary came too, so Katie was able to stay with them while I was in my classroom.

She's so precious. She did an awesome job on all her art! Love it!

Mother's Day In Preschool

Katie's class was throwing a Mother's Day tea for all the Mom's to come to with their kids, during snack time. They had iced tea and apple juice set up.

 They had lots of yummy snacks set up- cookies, chocolate covered strawberries, grapes, etc. Yum!

 The kids put on a small singing show, it was so cute!

 Katie made me a present. It was a beautiful necklace made of beads =)

 We got to sit with Jaren and his Mommy. It was a nice little tea, we had fun!
