Just a Thought.......

Just thought we would say hi today!

Hope these faces brighten your day!

Why don't you do something special to brighten someone's day?

We get so busy with our lives, we sometimes

don't even think to do extra special things

for another person.

If you are like me, I feel that I barely have time

to use the restroom, much less have time to

do anything extra!

I dunno, this was just on my mind, I thought I would share.

I believe I will start MAKING time.

You should do it with me!

With Lots of Love,

Ms Melea

Umm...

Just a TAD late on the Easter Post.

Sorry.

I have picture overload, too.

So my commentary may be little to none.

I will tell you that we had a BLAST!

I want to thank all of my wonderful parents that brought

treats and eggs and plates and drinks, etc.

You all are AWESOME!

I am so blessed to have you and your kiddos in my life!

Of course, all week we learned about Easter.

No, we didn't learn about the Easter Bunny

or talk about hunting Easter eggs..

well, not much.

My main focus was for the kids to KNOW why we celebrate Easter.

Really know why.

I was proud to hear that alot of them went home

explaining to their mommas and daddies

that JESUS ROSE!

THATS why we celebrate Easter!

Which reminds me of a funny story,

a few years ago, I had been teaching the very same

lesson. I wanted to make sure that they

remembered why we celebrated Easter, so

on their way out the door I asked each of them the reason.

One little girl YELLS! at the top of her lungs:

JESUS' ROSES ARE DEAD!

hahahaha!

Instead of Jesus died and rose from the dead.

Love them.

Anywho-

here are our Easter Celebration Pictures:

And, yeah,

Im pretty sure we have some of the CUTEST

kids in the world at this preschool!

Thankful.

With Love, Miss Melea

Happy Birthday,Hudson!

Happy Birthday to this sweet boy!

I can't believe he is 4!

Let me tell you,

I LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY!

Hudson is the perfect mixture of sweetness and all boy!

He loves everything about rodeo'ing

and horses and bulls.

I love it! 

Hudson, you are such a big boy!

I hope your day is the best ever!

Happy Birthday!

With Love,

Ms Melea

Not Your Ordinary Fire Inspection

It was time for my annual fire inspection.

First thing this morning,

like 8am,

Mr Ed Phillips pulls into the preschool.

Normally he comes in and does his routine

check and paperwork, but today he was FULL of surprises!

(side note: Eli is on top of the car because he CRIED to

go to Mr Phillips! Kept reaching his arms up to him! Lol.

It was too cute.)

First of all, I explained who he was and what he does.

Then, he started asking the kids about fire safety.

I was so stoked when they answered all the questions right!

The DO listen! lol!

He asked if the kids wanted to see his flashing lights...

Ummmm.......YES PLEASE!

Then he talked to us about the importance of 911.

You dont call to "chat",

it is only for an emergency.

Then, you will NEVER guess what he pulled out of his

car!!!! FIREMAN HATS!

Not even kidding.

One for each child!

They were so excited!

So excited that I could barely get a picture!

I hated that some of the kids weren't there yet.

:(

We made sure they got a hat, though!

Thanks for the cool unexpected surprise, Mr Ed!

It made our day!

With Love, Ms Melea

Just Another Manic.....Week!:)

Wowza!

What. A. Day.

I want to first apologize for the epic

Preschool Teacher Who Blogs FAIL

on Monday.

I really try to count pictures and make sure I get

everyone on the blog at least once, every time I blog,

but  failed to do so Monday.

In order to try and make up for my shortcoming,

I scheduled a photo shoot with Mr Tead.

I.Love.This.Kid.

He is so sweet with a huge heart.

This picture makes me laugh because Gavin

heard me say "SAY CHEESE!" so he immediately

ran into the picture and said "CHEESE".

Tead put his arm around him and his little sis DID NOT like that!

Nope. Not one bit.

Can you tell?

She said "my bubby".

Love.

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

Early this morning I could tell it was gonna be

a "ship the kids outside kinda day".

Boy was I right!

They were needing to let off some MAJOR energy.

We got our handwriting done and out we went.

So, here are some pics of our free time:

BUBBLES!

Sandbox fun....

Sidewalk Chalk!

BFF's:

Misti and I thought about ordering some uniforms for

us to wear to work.

Some child care providers wear scrubs,

but I thought this would be more appropriate:

LOL.

Totally not kidding......today.

We are getting excited about our upcoming fundraiser!

We have some cool new toys on our wish list!

Remember the deadline is

Friday, April 13th!

And if you are a gracious person that

doesn't have ANYTHING to spend your money on,

you can donate to the preschool

for some awesome new toys!

Just email me

meleasgigglesandgrins@gmail.com

haha!

Wonder how many will respond to that one??!

God has a purpose in everything He does.
