Noah receiving a medal for his memorizing all 26 scripture verses the class did this year. (Funny note - Noah kept those hands in his pockets and twisted side to side for the songs and scriptures the kids sang/recited. That seems to be his newest nervous tick. Still, he looked so handsome and composed.)
Pre-kindergarten completion certificate. He is so ready for kindergarten. :)
Group shot.
Farewell, Mrs. Cindy. You've been great and Noah's pre-k experience was better than we had hoped it would be. You get all the credit.
Then all three pre-k classes headed for Monkey Joe's to celebrate the occasion. We have actually been there a number of times, but this time was pretty cool because Noah AND Anna were capable enough to not need Josh or me to climb in to help them at all.
Anna was fearless the whole morning and kept up with all the big kids with ease. THEN, she showed her true colors and pitched a fit in the floor. Model parent that I am, I rushed over to take a picture of the comedy.
It was a pizza party well-earned, Noah Brown. You are such a smart and good boy. We are so proud of your work, improvement, and behavior all year long. Mrs. Cindy says you have blessed her and I don't think she's just being nice. You are a blessing, boy, from start to finish every day.
After naps, we headed out to Bottom View Farm to pick some strawberries FINALLY. This was Noah and Anna's first time ever doing this. The last time Josh and I picked strawberries we didn't have any kids at all. Crazy!
I spotted two sweets in the field. :)
Noah picked all the biggest berries he could find.
Anna had another approach. She only wanted "baby" berries. So she did the farm a favor and picked all the little ones that no one else would ever dream of picking.
All done!
I was dreading the mess of sponge cake and whipped cream and forks and sticky fingers when we got home, however, so I created a different sort of strawberry treat for the kids. It went over great! And with less mess, too! Strawberry Cream Cones, it is!
School's officially out and summer is officially in. What fun!

WHAT a fun day for all you guys! I'd be pooped out though by the end.... Congratulations Noah for graduating Pre-K! On to the big leagues of Kindergarten!! When does you're K-5 start if it's an all year school?
Starts Aug. 1st - the the first full day for the kindergarteners is not til the 15th. We meet his teacher July 28th.
What a great day to kick-off summer break!!!
It's still so odd to me that people pick strawberries this time of year. We're used to Jan./Feb. and sometimes March.
Can't wait to hear all about his big day in Kindergarten when the time comes.
Anna will probably hold great resentment for these fit-throwing photos. :)
What a big boy Noah is and such a great Kid. Loved the pictures of his pre-school awards and the strawberry picking. Loved seeing
"Farmer Brown" and his little
"Browns" in the field. Wish I had some of that strawberry shortcake!
