More photos from Jane's last day at Kindy

Jane's last day at Kindergarten

Jane had a fantastic last day at Kindy. Turning 5 is a huge deal, because it means it is time to start school. Jane spent the morning creating a beautiful crown and playdough cake with her teacher, Mrs Dowdell. When it was mat time Jane sat in the throne and shared her memories of kindy with her friends and teachers. Everyone sang Happy Birthday, and said goodbye. We feel blessed that she has had such a wonderful time over the past year and a half, and that she has learned so much.

Silly Billies

The most remarkable thing about this picture is that Jane agreed to wear jeans that day.

Walking home from school

Our first Mandarin!

A little sour, but very beautiful!

Josephine at Kindy

Josephine enjoys dropping Jane off at kindy. Often the drop-off becomes something a little more...

Bake off

The kids have a funny habit of using the word "random." Examples are, "Just some random dog came along and said hello to Ted," or "There was this random boy at school." (This begs the question, are there organised dogs and planned boys out there?) Thus we weren't that surprised at Grace's reply when asked how she wanted to place the flowers and caterpillars atop her school bake off cake. "Just randomly."

Which look do you like the best?

As time passes after a haircut, Ted looks more and more like a muppet. He sings songs and has guest stars talking to him. Even though we appreciate the educational aspects of having a muppet in the house, there comes a time when Laura's dog hair-length threshold is reached. Such a milestone was passed this week. The pictures here show before and after. You'll note the muppet look versus the 1980s new romantic style. Do you prefer Ted as a muppet or Duran Duran lookalike? Send us your comments.
