Ben's Last Day of PreK

WOW!! A school year has never flown by as fast as Ben's PreK year! Today was the last day. For the past few weeks his teacher has been doing Pirate themed activities with them. Today they had Pirate centers set up outside. Ben's favorite was when he got to walk the plank!!

Who doesn't love a Pirate Pinata??

Look at these cute cupcakes a mom made!!! My little cupcake was so happy that it was finally snack time!

Ben had a great PreK year, thanks to Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Farris. I got to spend a lot of time in his class because of my flexible schedule. We are really going to miss them. All I can say is that his Kindergarten teachers have BIG shoes to fill!!!

Braves Rainout!!

We had tickets to the Braves game today and knowing that it was going to rain, we headed up there anyway. Ben loves the games and has just as much fun roaming around the stadium as he does watching the game. The game didn't happen today, but we had fun!!!

Thank goodness the fashion police was taking the day off because this was what everyone was wearing. We actually saw a few ponchos with Mickey Mouse on the back...just like Michael's from a previous Disney trip!

We were standing by the Chop House, trying to stay dry, and the man working there was handing out ice cream to the kids that would tell him 'Go Braves.'

Ben loves the batting and pitching cages. He doesn't care how long the line is, he patiently waits his turn and tries his best when he gets in there. He is very serious about baseball.

Every tunnel we saw, Ben would want to go check to see if it was still raining. It was...every time!!!

No event would ever be complete without cotton candy! He insists on holding it and tells me NO every time I look at him. He gets his love for cotton candy from his mama.

His daddy is a sucker for souvenirs. Here he is wiped out with his Braves Rally Monkey! Since a pitch wasn't thrown, we get to turn our tickets in for a free home game this season. Who knows if we will do that or not, but we did have a great time today roaming around Turner Field for 3 hours!!!

What We Have Been Up To!

We have been SUPER BUSY!!! Who would have thought that a 4 year olds calendar could be so busy??

Ben finishes up soccer this week.

We went to the Air Show. It only comes every 2-3 years so we knew that we had to go. This is a picture of Ben in a JSTARS plane.

Pirates take over PreK! Ben's prek class is doing a Pirate theme and he loves it!

Mother's Day produced some very heavy thunderstorms around dinner time. After Ben had his bath we saw this beautiful rainbow!!

Prek went on a field trip to the Strawberry Patch in Reynolds, GA. It was a blast! The kids (and adults) could eat as they picked because they used lady bugs as pesticide and not chemicals. Each child got to get a basket full to bring home. Ours were eaten by dinner!
