I can’t believe Anna Kate has finished her last year at Mrs. Paula’s Preschool!  She had so many wonderful adventures and couldn’t have had more fun!

On this particular day, they had crazy hat day, among many other exciting activities, as you can see!  Anna Kate wore an awesome white/purple zebra fedora hat, but of course, she only wore it for a few seconds.  I’ll have to take a picture of her wearing it sometime for you guys to see how cute she looked in it.  Winking smile

Before their field trip to the museum, Mrs. Paula took the kiddos to take pictures in the bluebonnets—so thoughtful!

Anna Kate loves a good pretend store!  She is always up for playing shop or store and will talk you into buying most anything!

On her last day of school, Anna Kate and her classmates got to make gingerbread muffins!  Anna Kate picked out this beautiful butterfly sundress to wear for her last day.  Unfortunately, play clothes are best for school because the ruffle ripped right off the bottom of the dress not too far into the day.  Rara is figuring out the best way to mend the dress right now and is always so sweet to help me with our mending.

This is the place our girls will think of when they remember their days in preschool…

And these are the sweet faces!  What an awesome Pre-K adventure for Anna Kate!!! 

Thank you so much, Mrs. Julie and Mrs. Paula, for making pre-school so uniquely special for our middle!  She has been free to laugh, play, run, sing, sound out letters, count, get messy, make art, jump puddles and everything in between in your loving, learning environment!  Although we will be seeing much more of you as Rose begins her adventures here, we are sad Anna Kate has finished her journey in your magical little school.  Thank you for teaching her the fundamentals for everything she will explore in life and nurturing her sweet heart all the while.  We love you!

Anna Kate, we love you through the cosmos and are so proud of you, always!  Your heart is pure, and you desire to do good and make the world a better place; That’s who you are deep down!  Thanks for being so perfectly you!  You’re such an awesome kid!  It’s pure bliss teaching you and watching you learn new things.  You are such a special gift to the world, and we are so happy you are here with us on this little journey!  Xoxo, Mommy and Daddy

*Patriot wasn’t having it any other way than being in the picture, bless his heart!  He’s a very important part of MPP!  Also, Mrs. Paula lovingly made Anna Kate two full-out scrapbooks of her time in pre-school (one handprint letter book and one photo/activity scrapbook).  They are amazing, and Anna Kate will enjoy them for the rest of her life!  What a gift! 

As always, these are Mrs. Paula’s pics she so graciously shares with us!
