Yay for May...

that brings warm, sunny days to play at the park!

A store full of daisies

It wasn't any old meeting last Friday for Daisy Troop 526- they were treated to a Build A Bear party at the mall due to how well they did in cookie sales this year! Each Daisy got to play games, build their very own animal and received not only a participation patch for their own vest but a patch for their animal's vest too! So cute! Needless to say, Kylie and her new puppy "Cinnamon" had a great time! Peyton also attended and left with a new friend "Bunny"- thanks Grandma!

Brooks Family Fun Night!

Hard to believe, but this month wraps up the school year for Kylie. That means lots of end of year events and activities! Last Thursday was Brooks Family Fun Night at the school. It was a night of cake walks, craft centers, face paintings, pizza, dancing, and raffles! It was a nice social event to see other families and friends and it gave Grandma and Papa the chance to attend an event at Kylie's school too! Although we weren't the big winners of one of the prizes in the basket raffle, the one I created with the donations for Kylie's class was well received and was filled with fantastic treats for whoever the lucky winner was!

It certainly was a family fun night for all!

A Feature in the Fine Arts Festival

Kylie was 1 of only 7 artists featured from the 5 kindergarten classes in her school in the Indian Prairie School District's Fine Art Festival yesterday! Her featured project was a set of mittens she created and decorated back in December. Ms. Gregus her art teacher had kept the project aside at school for months to display at this event!

Congratulations Kylie we're so proud of you- what a special honor!

PJ Day- Take 2

Since PJ Day (round 1) at Brooks was cut short for Kylie as it was the day she was sick and had to be picked up from school a few weeks ago, she was very excited to be able to participate in PJ Day last Monday at Adventures in Learning. Since it was Spring Break and a lot of kids needed to spend the week at the daycare, the teachers were so great in planning a different theme or activity for each day. Kylie had a lot of fun being able to wear her pj's to school, bring "whale" (who is really a dolphin :)!) as her stuffed animal and enjoy popcorn and a movie to kick off Spring Break week on Monday!

Although Kylie was able to not have to go to the center on Wed and Fri, she begged us to go on Thursday for the Easter party. She was very excited to bring the Easter plates, napkins & cups we signed up to bring, have an Easter egg hunt and enjoy lots of tasty goodies with her friends. So adding in a fun day on Tuesday doing exactly what at the center I can't recall :0, a day home with Daddy on Wednesday and heading off for our weekend family getaway on Friday, I think Kylie would give a thumbs up to her 1st "official" Spring Break!

Happy Easter!
