We Are Dynamite!

Giggles & Grins Preschool Graduation 2011

Beware! Picture overload!

I went with a "Dynamite" Theme.

We came in dancing to Taio Cruz's Dynamite!

I have some very jazzy kids!

They can definitely bust a move!

It was such a great night!

We had lots of fun!

The little guys sang a cool rendition of

"If You're Happy & You Know It"

The preschoolers had to introduce themselves

and state their ages.

It just looks a little chaotic!

lol.

Everyone was in the perfect spot at the perfect time!

Lane leads us in the pledge.

Then it was time for the big kids to say their lines,

and sing their songs!

and wave at mommas, daddies, and grandparents!

After introducing everyone,

my last 6 graduates were on stage.

Such a sad moment, but exciting at the same time. 

Then we enjoyed a slide show I had put together for the

parents and then enjoyed cupcakes and capri sun.

Now that another year has came and went,

I am already dreading my next crew going to kindergarten.

We are so attached to your kids!

We really do feel like they are one of our own.

I know I say it ALL the time,

but we truly are blessed to have you and your child

in our lives.

Thank you.

With Love, Miss Melea

* A special thank you to Becky McGehee and Michele Graves for taking pictures of graduation! And a thank you to Marilyn Bonham for making copies of the slideshow for all the parents! You all are very special to me!

It's Bubble Time!

One thing we love to do on a summer day,

is play with the bubbles!

(can you tell his momma is a photographer?lol!)

Yay for summer!

Hope your day has been great!

*Im so excited to do my blog about our graduation program!

I had some great parents and grand parents taking pictures for me-

can't wait to get those and start posting!

With Love, Miss Melea

Summertime! Woo Hoo!

Finally!

It's here!

The long awaited time of summer.

Which this is our "week off"-

meaning NO WORK.

Nothing.

Just playing and having fun.

It sure makes it nice.

Although kids are constantly learning,

they would never know!

We love being outside.

So as soon as we eat our breakfast,

on goes the sunblock

and bugspray.

Out goes the kids.

Don't you remember summers as a kid?

That was the GREATEST time!

We literally had NOTHING to do.

But I didn't dare tell my momma that!

She would hand me the windex and towels and say

"You won't be bored now!"

lol.

Now we are constantly on the go.

There are computers.

Nintendo DS,

PSP's,

portable DVD players,

texting.

What in the world is being

BORED?

I miss it.

Don't you? 

Being bored would be so.......

relaxing!

lol.

These two cutie patooties' mommy brought me an extra special gift this morning!

A totally cool calendar with her little angels on it!

It is such a neat and thoughtful gift!

Paige and Mattie are two of the sweetest kids.

And they had no choice but to be just that,

because their momma and daddy are just as sweet!

Love you Rachel and your sweet little family.

You all hold an extra special place in my heart.

With Love, Miss Melea

Levi.

Levi.

It's your last day of preschool!

I am so proud of you!

It seems like you haven't even been here long enough to leave me!

So......you CANNOT go.

lol.

You probably wouldn't stay if I paid you.

Not that being here is not a good thing.

I just know how excited you are about kindergarten.

You are such a sweet and POLITE little boy.

I don't think I have EVER met a child as POLITE as you are!

Your mommy and daddy have done a great job with you!

By the way, I will miss seeing your mom, too.

Soooooo, that means you will have to come see me!

OK?

OK.

I love you Levi and I wish you the best in BIG SCHOOL!

With Love,

Miss Melea

* I want to give a HUGE shout out to all those who helped with the graduation ceremony!

I am so proud to have such good parents and grandparents to work with!

A special thank you to Becky and Marolyn!

And of course Kathy and Misti for their hard work.

I am so lucky to have you two.

You all are lifesavers!

Reese.

Can you believe it?

It's your last day of preschool!

Even though you and your mom made me cry

a little this morning,

I am so excited for you to go to kindergarten!

You will do GREAT!

You will love it!

You are such a handsome and sweet boy.

I am so proud of you!

Reese brought me this awesome new candy jar!

With a card that was so sweet, it melted my heart.

I appreciate the wonderful parents I have to work with.

Tiffany and Bobby, you are no exception!

 I will miss your sweet faces and your sweet spirits.

Miss Melea loves you, Reese!

I wish you the best of luck and fun in kindergarten!

See you Thursday for practice!

With Love,

Miss Melea

A Goodbye and puddles!

Today was Ms Yvonne's last day until the Fall.

She came at just the right time this morning.

She was able to watch a bit of our program

we are working so hard on!

Tatum, Trinity, Mattie, and Levi were the

only graduates here to say goodbye.

She shared a book about going on vacation,

since summer is here!

The kids did really well with her today!

They listened very well.

We love you Miss Yvonne!

We hope you have a great summer! 

The other kids were playing up a storm in the other room!

Lots of activity!

Explaining the blurry pictures!

I took my kids straight outside after Ms Yvonne left.

We let the littler kids have a choice and

they were having too much fun inside!

We were only out for about 20 minutes.

Alot of damage was done in 20 minutes!

I allowed them to do some pouring, or "cooking" rather,

with the water that was sitting around.

The next thing I knew they all were soaked!

So I said "Go Ahead, I guess".

HAVE FUN!

They had a BLAST!

No need to worry!

They ALL had baths

and all their clothes are washed and in the dryer.

You won't even know what happened!

Afterwards, Tatum asked why would I let them do that?!

I said that it would probably be the only time we would do it.

She gave me hug and said "Thank you Miss Melea! I love you!"

Made my day!

Special thanks to Ms Kathy for helping clean these guys up!

Stay Safe in the storms.

Still praying for Joplin and the others that were affected by the bad storms and tornadoes.

With Love, Miss Melea
