We're DONE!


Today was graduation for our Joyschool group. Yep, that's my driveway. We had a big ceremony, lunch, and party at my house to commemorate. So in true preschooler fashion, I whipped out a welcome sign in sidewalk chalk! I think I counted 7 adults, 6 kids in our class, and 7 other siblings (3 of them were babies) - whew! Here they are in their cute little caps and gowns:




The kids had a BLAST playing on the huge waterslide (isn't this just the COOLEST THING EVER?) One of the moms in the group offered to borrow it from her in-laws and haul it into my yard for our entertainment. Nice! We saw several pairs of blue shivering lips, but they played hard and long for a few noisy, soggy hours.



And here are the moms, who all took turns teaching throughout the year. (We are actually missing Julie in this picture - darn, she had to leave before I took this!) It was a long, hard year - three of us taught while hugely pregnant - but we had a great time and should be proud! Thanks everyone!

How fun! You are always so creative and do such fun things for your kids!
That water slide looked pretty awesome! Bet it truely was a hit!
I didn't realize that Tucker's preschool was one that you and the other moms taught. I've heard of others doing that same thing. Sounds interesting, and very cost-effective. I like that idea!

Okay, I think I would have fun on that slide. Why go to the water park?

That looks like a ton of fun!! They look so cute in their little caps and gowns!! I think that the moms need a little reward for all the hard work!!

Way neat graduation party! I'd love to get a joyschool going here...is there anything special to do? or do you just get your own stuff together and teach in turns? If you could, let me know, either by commenting to my comment here or coming to my blog (ameboschi.blogspot.com) and leaving a comment there. Thanks. Oh, and those gowns are cute!
