Last Day at Mount Juliet Church of Christ Preschool

Where did my baby go?  That is all I was thinking as I got her ready, snapped pictures on the front porch, grabbed breakfast at Chickfila and dropped her off at preschool for her very last day.  Mount Juliet Church of Christ Preschool has been such a blessing for Charley and our family for the past three years.  She has learned so much and has cultivated relationships with friends, parents of friends and teachers that love the Lord.  I am so thankful for that little school, and for the big impact it has made on our girl and her future.

Oh Tater Day

Oh Tater Day festivities 

what can I say

people come from near and far

just to spend the day

Out of the wood work

you will see all kinds

some you will think 

have quite possibly lost their minds

But tradition is important

and definitely a must

so Charley went with Amma and Granddad

to check out all the fuss

Lots to do and see

it can be such a racket

and on the first Monday of April

you will probably need a jacket

They took an extra day 

to soak up all the fun

doing and seeing it all

couldn't be done in just one

Rides, jumps, swings 

and horses to boot

Charley with cousins and friends

lookin' so darn cute

This year was extra special

and a parade for the books

Charley and Dathan rode in back of red rocket

getting lots of waves and looks

Their picture made the local paper

celebrities you might say

of small town Benton Kentucky's

one and only Tater Day

Charley's School Easter Party

At the beginning of the year I let Charley pick which fun day I will help with at preschool, and she signed me up for Easter for the second year in a row.  I spent the afternoon with her class making a craft, hiding and seeking Easter eggs, picnicking in the grass and playing games.  I am just certain that when God was handing out traits, he gave those destined to be teachers an extra dose of patience. Don't get me wrong, I loved spending my day with Charley and her friends...but it was one day...and probably the only day I will spend in the classroom until I sign up for Carter's fun day or something in Kindergarten next year!
