Preschool 2012 Pictures

This is a little late, but better late than never. The kids had some pictures taken at Holly Tree (preschool) back in June, and they turned out great. We ordered the CD, so here are the shots.

Mallory Kindergarten – Part 2

So Mallory made it home from kindergarten today with only a few hiccups. We were all excited to see the bus coming up the street. She had a great day, but did look exhausted when she got home. Seems she missed lunch though. We sent her with a snack (a fruit snack and some goldfish) in a brown paper bag. We also sent her with some lunch money. Well, it seems she ate her fruit snack for lunch, rather than going through the line, and had her goldfish for snack. I expect she’ll eat pretty good for dinner tonight, but now we know we need to be a little more careful there. Her and Piper did get to play together during recess. All of the kindergartners go out at the same time, so that’s nice. First full day is in the bag… now we can rest for the weekend, and get ready for her first full week!

Here are some more pictures… videos will come… I promise.

Mallory Starts Kindergarten!

Mallory started with a girls only half day of kindergarten on Wednesday. We took her and Angie picked her up. Today, she started her first full day of kindergarten, and even rode the bus with her bff Piper. The girls were pretty excited about riding the bus. The moms, not so much. :) More pictures to come, and a few videos once I have time to edit them.

More Mallory Graduation Pictures

All (most) of the good pictures have been posted to the web album, but here are a few directly in the post.

Mallory – No Training Wheels

Mallory graduated from preschool on Friday and starts kindergarten this week. Her Uncle Matt also graduated this weekend with his MBA, so to mark the occasion, she decided she was ready to try riding her bike without training wheels. We started in the yard and this video is her very first few attempts. She picked it up pretty quick though, so we moved to the road, and started working on turning.

Here’s a picture of the two graduates after a family lunch celebrating Matt’s accomplishment.

Matt graduated with his MBA, and Mallory graduated from preschool.

Mallory Video Interview

Mallory was home sick today… or kind of sick at least. Her tonsils looked swollen and we thought she was about to get sick. Her throat hurt as well, so we figured it might be strep. We kept her home, but she ended up being fine… and will be back to school tomorrow. We did have a few minutes for an interview though. I thought it might be cool to capture some of her thoughts and she can look back on it as she grows up. Windows Movie Maker wasn’t too hard to use, so maybe we can do more of these in the future.
