Lowell and his guard dog

Chatting with Lowell- Summer Vacation

Little Lowell graduated from preschool on Tuesday so I planned a fun day for him on his first day of vacation.  We started out at Target so he could pick out his graduation gift from Grandma. Then we met friends at the Children's museum and met up with dad for lunch at chick-fil-a. That was going to be the extent of our activities, but when we stopped by grandma's house, he decided to stay and go swimming. When I picked him up a few hours later I learned he now made plans for grandma to take him to Chucky Cheese. After we played games there we went to the mall for dinner and he then talked us into letting him play at the mall playground and finally grabbing dessert at the food court. I don't think we got him to bed until 9:30, which is way later than his usual 8:00pm.

The next morning he woke up wanting to know what fun things we were going to do that day. I told him he would have a nice day playing at home. He looked up at me very seriously and said," mom, I think I am ready to go back to school."

Luckily, summer camp starts next week!

One week of Preschool to go!

While Lorelai was taking her nap today, I sat down and went through a huge pile of Lowell's preschool art work. I separated everything into two piles "keep" and "toss." I was almost finished when Little Lowell found me. He was a bit troubled when he found out my plans for all of his hardwork. He even thought that his teachers might not let him graduate if we got rid of anything. I assured him that would not happen and promised to hold on to everything for one more week until he graduated, just in case. 

(This was a keeper)

Little Lowell then decided he had a better system and separated everything into three categories 1) best, 2) awesome, and 3) great. The two of us actually had a lot of fun reminiscing about his school year while looking at all of his artwork. We are so proud of how well he has done in preschool. No one has ever been more ready for kindergarten!

Now I just need for someone to break the news to him that only one of his piles are going to make it into the scrapbook...

Ready to Party!
