Preschool graduation day

Elizabeth's class singing at her closing ceremony

Not surprisingly Elizabeth sang louder than anyone in her class.

She knew all the words and hand motions for the eight songs they performed.  Many of her classmates were watching her.

 

My Aunt Sheila and Uncle Chris visited from Florida.  We love to take our of town guests on the Incline.

  Memorial Day

It was very hot over Memorial weekend.  Playing with shaving cream before hitting the baby pool to cool off.

 Anyone order a POMtini?

 Cheers!

A special treat for the kids mocktails and nuts before dinner.

 Earlier this month - this is my Mother's Day pedicure.

Our pool opened the week before Memorial Day.  We have gone nearly every evening.  Here's a video of Michael and Elizabeth racing.
I love how Michael hangs back.  If he beats her by too much she won't race him anymore.

 First Dance Recital

 Dancing on stage to Minnie Mouse's Slumber Party

 Elizabeth's favorite part:  shaking her booty

 

Her dance teacher told everyone they get to wear lots of makeup - including eyeshadow.  Elizabeth was thrilled.  Here she is posing to show off her glitter eye liner.

Posing with her bouquet of roses - another highlight from the night.

 Our MOMS Club took a tour at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater

 Practicing on the barre

Trying on accessories with the head costume designer

The children painting a pointe shoe and turning it into a puppet.

Showing off their ballet puppets.  It was an enjoyable and educational field trip.

 Elizabeth's preschool had a very impressive unit called Reading Adventure.  The 300 students transformed the entire school into interactive displays based on children's literature.  Her class chose Mickey Mouse on the Farm.

 The children did most everything.

 The basement was a walk through the life of Jesus.

Here is a temple with the Ten Commandments.

 The Last Supper

Fishing to feed 5,000 people.

When I volunteeted, I was amazed at how much time and effort went into this event.

Fountains

 The Water Steps on the North Shore

Michael and Elizabeth kept walking from the top down to the bottom and back.

Andrew was unsuccessfully trying to keep up with them.  Even soliciting his dad for help.

The next time we went it was nearly ninety degrees and they suited up for some serious play.
