Thursday in pictures...

I am posting from Derby, Kansas!
We are just outside of Wichita,
getting ready for a BIG football game tonight.
My nephew, Todd is a senior and this is his biggest game of the year!
I have never had the chance to watch my nephews play,
it being his last year I didn't want to miss it.
I love my family!

******************

I took pictures yesterday, but didn't get a chance to post them!

We are still reviewing the heart shape and the color pink.
Our PINK song talks about fat pink pigs..
the kids always laugh at that part!

So I found some funny books about...
fat pink pigs!

If You Give A Pig a Party
Is adorable!
 

We then made our very own pink pigs out of HEARTS!










I loved the placement of their ears and eyes!:)
too cute.

Here are a few pictures that Miss Misti snapped for me:









Sweet babies.

I just want to throw a shout out to my assistants, Kathy and Misti.
They.are.wonderful.
I am so blessed to be able to spend an important event with
my family and not have an ounce of worry.
My life is blessed and I thank God everyday for that.

With Love, Ms Melea

A Great and Wonderful Day!

Another great day at preschool!

Ms Yvonne came today!
She wrote the book on manners.
(Not really, but she might as well had!)
She knows her stuff!
The kids have been doing so good listening to her.
I know that they learn some neat things when she comes.
Plus, I think she likes hanging out with us.
And we love having her!

While Ms Yvonne held the fort down downstairs,
I went up to see what the little guys were doing.

They were saying their pledge when I walked in..

Then they said their ABCs AND counted AND went over
 their shapes AND colors AND they even did a letter
recognition poster!
Whew!
Every day.
You might say the pledge with them-
alot of them know it and they are adorable when they say it!


Then it was time for their work.
They are also learning about the color pink and the heart shape.

Eli and Gavin hang out together in the crib
while the kids do their work.
They did good just sitting or standing and watching.


Then Ms Kathy had cut out pink and heart pictures out of
magazines for them to paste onto pink paper.

They love to glue things! 
Good work Beckett! 
Great job Nevaeh!

Working hard, Dane!

Cadyn is doing good work!

Great Job Evan!


Off to recess time!

Tead and Roper.....
BFF's
(most of the time!lol)

My little preschool crew:

Cutest. kids. EVER!
(I mean all kids are cute.....but you know what I mean;)

Love them.

They all are really good too!
Makes my job MUCH easier.
I can thank you, parents, for your work.

Emma and Zakary.
Cuties.


Our day was great.
My licensing specialist came today.
She always makes me nervous.
She is ALWAYS nice- but Im still afraid of her.
I passed my inspection,
AFTER we moved some playground equipment around.
Yay and WHEW!

Can I get an Amen on this weather??
AMEN!
Love it!

**************
 I wanted to share a picture with you of my Tharp family reunion this past weekend.
This is most of my family on my daddy's side.
And yes, I still call my dad, daddy.
We had so much fun.
Lots of reminiscing about my grandparents .
 I miss them.
I wish they could have been there.

We all came from different directions!
We have family in California, Texas, Kansas, and Missouri.

Great time.
Love them all.
Can't wait to do it again.


I am going to Kansas to visit my sister this weekend.
My nephew is a senior this year and is apparently
a star football player. Which doesnt surprise me!
 I wanted to make sure and
make one of his last home games.
It's hard to believe that our kids are that old.
Time flies.
Pretty soon all these pictures of all of these kids will turn
into Senior Portraits.
You will see.

With Love,
Ms Melea

Happy Tuesday!

This week we are reviewing the Heart shape and the color pink.
Two of my favorite things!

After our normal circle time duties,
we read this valentine book!
It had LOTS of hearts and the color pink!
We then went upstairs and learned how you make the color pink.
I had the kids a little work station set up like this for them:

They had to mix up their very own PINK paint!
I had a little container with white paint and a drop of red.
The kids really enjoyed that.

They were supposed to paint their heart once they mixed their paint.

Good Job guys!

Afer our work,
we went outside.
The weather is GORGEOUS today!

Here is our first attempt to take a picture:
Believe me, there were LOTS of attempts!:)

Miss Adria was all smiles this afternoon! 
Nevaeh, Axton, Cadyn, and Beckett had a big time outside!


I hope you all have a great rest of week!

With Love,  Miss Melea

A Wonderful Friday!

I thought I would start off with the little guys today,
Since I always start with the preschool class!

Look who is walking!
Both our babies are walking!

Great job Gavin!
He is still a little wobbly-
but it wont be long until he will be running faster than us!

This sweet guy is walking too!
But he was too happy in the middle of the rocks to make him get up!

Sweet Eli.

Cadyn and Beckett.
Cutie pies. 

Cousins!
I should have grabbed Eli to be with this bunch!


We had show n tell today.
Lots of cool toys!



Just picked up to go outside...



After I took the picture,
I looked over and this is what I found:

YIKES!

We then did our handwriting....

Some wanted to do it inside:


And some wanted to write outside:






Have a GREAT weekend!

With Love,
Ms Melea
