Trike a Thon

Every year Cook's does a fundraiser for the preschool to help support their activities, such as farm day and space camp. The kids ride tricycles for donations. It has always been a great event, even though the kids are starting to outgrow the trikes just a little!

Last First Day of Preschool

What a bittersweet day-Luke and Olivia's last first day of preschool at Cooks. We have thoroughly enjoyed the time spent there thus far and we are looking forward to their last year there before kindergarten (sniff sniff). The kids will go 4 days a week (Monday-Thursday) from 9:30am-1:00pm. They will go through the "tunnel" for drop off and pick up-no more walking them inside. They will eat lunch in a separate room from their classroom and will go to "centers" throughout the day. These policies are all to encourage their independence before "real" school starts.

Luke and Olivia really do love going to preschool, and learn lots while having fun with their friends. I miss them when they are there, but the time away gives me time to work, run errands and get used to them being in school for even longer amounts of time. I know this year is going to go by extra quickly, so I'm trying to enjoy the little moments, especially how excited they are when they see my car pull up for pick up! They jump up and down, wave and say "mommy's here, mommy's here." Be still my heart!
