School Fun

Drew goes to a wonderful preschool...if they would just take kids as young as Allen it would be perfect! But seriously, it is a great school and they do some really fun activities throughout the year. This month they had a petting zoo and a Country Fair. Each class attends for about 20 minutes but it is just their class so it is more enjoyable for everyone. The petting zoo was at the same time as a MOPS meeting last week so I was able to slip out and go take some photos without Allen in tow. Today was the Country Fair so Allen was with me but he was really good about not getting in the big kids way and letting Drew do his thing. Until the end when he was very upset I wouldn't let him in the class photo, but he'll get over it...

Drew wouldn't touch the animals with his hands - only a brush...but there weren't enough brushes for each kid to have their own so they had to share (which he did an amazing job of - even if he had to give up his and finding another one or walk around with his hands behind his back so he didn't accidentally touch an animal!). Here he is convincing Dylan to let him borrow his brush. It was an adorable preschooler exchange! Now if he and Allen could just work this out at home...

La Casa de Cristo Preschool Country Fair







Apparently, Drew really needs to get more into this country thing. He was the only kid in his class without a cowboy hat or cowboy boots today! I didn't even get a bandana on him! Oh well...we'll do better next year!

Everyone had to make a 3-D art project (about 3 feet in size) to hang on the walls of the gym. Our class was assigned horses or horseshoes. I made a horseshoe...that's about the extent of my artistic abilities! But hey - I free handed it and was quite impressed with the outcome!

My friend Kandy had Tobi's mom (an awesome artist!) draw her a pony which she decorated in true southern girl fashion - it was so fun!


My favorite part of posting these photos together is the difference in clothing...in one week, the temperature dropped 35+ degrees! From shorts and t-shirts to jeans and long-sleeves. But man it is nice to be cool...even if it is just for a few days!
