Rebecca is ready for Preschool!

She was dancing in the kitchen! Her teacher Mrs. Pam is in for a lot of action with this student.

She was proud of her picture on the bulletin board.

She wouldn't pose for a picture but did give Mrs. Pam a goodbye hug! Maury and Lucy have had Mrs. Pam and she is soooo sweet! We are excited for Rebecca to go to 2 year old preschool after Labor Day!

Star Search

Maury and Lucy went to school decked out in stars for the Star Search Day at school. The stars are part of the positive behavior system through which they earn stars and can "spend" them on fun things like sitting with a friend in another class at lunch, 10 minutes extra recess, and fun events at school. Richard thought that they looked like clowns when he got to pick them up from school but I thought they looked pretty cute!!!HA!

Fairpark fun

Summer is almost over and we had not even made it to Fairpark!!! We ended up there when the pool was messed up and had fun with Sara Frances and Meri Alan.
