The first big event was Zachary's classroom Spring program--these kids are so cute! We were invited into his classroom where a group of 2-3 students performed old school nursery rhymes (3 Billy Goats Gruff was Zach and his partners skit) but instead of the endings that we all know don't end so great---they resolve their differences and each skit ends with "I'll read to you and you read to me." They were very humorous--microphones, rhymes, and all :)
After the skit, came the year end recap slide-show---if you haven't had to watch and wipe your tears through one of these yet--just wait, your time will come!!! The music, the faces of all those cute kids (especially your own :) is just so overwhelming....we have been blessed with some of the best teachers Bismarck has to offer and when Mrs. Ward got up to give her end of the year speech and started crying...well I had to tear up too, I can't let anyone cry alone! She is a super, great, amazing, wonderful, inspiring teacher who will be greatly missed at Northridge!!! ...so all that happened at 11 am
Came home, cooked lunch, got everyone settled in with Sara and off of to Addy's preschool graduation we went at 1pm....enter emotional roller coaster #2 :)
Addy went to Merry Go Round preschool this last year and absolutely LOVED it!! These teachers loved it just as much as the kids did each and every week and you could tell :) The program had it all...from these little bodies walking into the church to Pomp and Circumstance, to the graduation caps and tassels, to the presentation of the graduates---there was not a dry eye in the house! They sang at least 8+ songs that they learned throughout the year and these kids BEAMED!!! They were so proud--as were we watching them :) I just felt myself watching to mentally capture everything I could in those moments--kinda like Pam does (from The Office) :) After the program we went back to the reception area where we snapped multiple pictures, gave some amazing women BIG BIG hugs, and Josh and I looked at each other, as we often do with Addyson our youngest, and say--we will never have a preschool graduate again :S

Addy's MGR teachers---these ladies are amazing!!! |
Grandma and Grandpa also made it to the program and brought the graduate a flower---she was so proud! It's so great to be able to share these events with our loved ones--we are truly so blessed!!!
Anna, does not have a special end of the year program, but stays busy non the less :) They had a track meet on Thursday ( in the rain) and her team scored 2nd in the 800 relay, she also competed in the 400 relay and tried long jump and shot put!
On Friday she completed and showed her science project at the Science Fair up at the BSC Careerr Acc in which they did an experiment to see if a banana with and without the peel would float or sink!?! They both float--fun fact! Way to go Anna---we are so very proud of you and can't believe you will be off to Horizon next year!?
