i never showed these pictures from annie's last day of preschool.
so much fun….
annie's preschool has been located in an assisted living facility.
they visited the "grandma & grandpas" often and knew many of their names.
(especially the ones who gave out candy)
many of residents were outside during this party time watching or helping hold the parachute.
the kids gave goodbye backrubs and hugs.
it's so sweet to watch.
next year the preschool will be back at the church..only a 2 block walk for us.
that will be pretty great also.
i printed this out for annie and she hung it on her bulletin board. :)
oh how we miss preschool.
Meg - This looks very familiar, our kiddos also attended this preschool. Ms. Kristin is a familar face at church. I linked to you from The Macs and check in often for the great photos and another family living life in Kansas.

Allison - Your daughter is the cutest, most precious little girl ever.
Secret Mom Thoughts - I am missing preschool too.
Sheryl - I mentioned before that I found Annie’s preschool blog by accident last month. I’m also a preschool teacher, and love her ideas! Her photos are beautiful, just like yours. She has a way of capturing each detail. I can see why you love her.

Stephanie - Hi Meg.
I just found your blog recently & I am LOVING it.
I wanted you to know that I included you in my “Fine Finds” for the week.
Thanks for sharing.

niki - it looks like a fun and imaginitive preschool…i’m jealous. would love to know where annie’s teacher got her dinosaur t-shirt……love it.
love your blog, too. 🙂
Kelli - I LOVE the idea of combining an assisted living facility with a pre-school. What a blessing that must be in the lives of the older people and a great lesson in respect for the elderly in the kids. I live in CA and wonder if there is anything like that out here?!
Aubrey - My favorite is Annie’s mismatched socks–especially the rainbow one. And maybe I’m biased, but I think she’s the cutest kid in her class. She has such pretty eyes.
Lorilee - I love the idea of a preschool within or near an assisted living home. I WANT one of those parachute thingys! It looks like fun!
Blessings,
Lorilee
Carrie - how great I love the rainbow aprons
Penny - My girls preschool years were such wonderful times. Two are in college and one is in High School now. So it has been a while. Really cherish these tender years. They fly by so quickly. I love the beautiful pictures you post in your blog. I am a very visual person and this is one thing that draws me to your site. (and of course Waffle!!)
lorel - those kids kids are cute!
Sally - SO cool! I teach preschool so I examined the pictures for ideas! I love that the teacher is sitting on a table to read the story! I love that there are so many bright colors! I love the parachute (use mine often!)! SO cool!!! No wonder she misses it!
Lee Ann - We miss pre-school too. How cool that it was at an assisted-living place. A 2 block walk will be great too.
And I love that Annie and my girls have so many of the exact same clothes. We have both mis-matched socks (worn just the way she’s wearing them) and the “old” sparkly pink shoes. Too funny!
adrienneK - GUSH!!!! annies preschool teacher has a very cool blog as well!!!
i swear my in laws live in newton, if we ever move there (while the girls are still little) i would so want them to go to this school it seems so wonderful (and colorful)!!!!
erin j - I have been watching your blog for some time now and decided I should actually comment. I love your eye for color; it brightens my day. And a preschool in a nursing home is such a sweet idea; it looks like such a blessing to all involved.
Sandy - Preschoolers are so much fun!
Not to sound creepy (although it is), but last night I had another dream about hanging out with you and your family. You guys rock! Thanks for the fun times! (ha ha) 🙂 (This probably really creeps Lauren out!)
Starnes Fam - I love that the school was within the assisted living facility. We took our kids to trick-or-treat at one a few years ago. Such a gift for them…..to see, feel, hear young people. It warmed my heart to be able to share my joy with them and bring them back to their earlier years.
Love photos, as always.
kristin - oh!!!! i miss it too…especially seeing these.
can i use these? : )
Lillian - I am loving this post so much! My daughter starts Preschool in the fall and it made me so excited for her! Beautiful pictures – and her teachers look like so much fun! The grins in all of the pictures speak volumes:)
adrienne - i love where it was located! what a great idea and so wonderful for the elderly too. as a teacher, i’m loving that table thing she’s sitting on during storytime 🙂 very eye level for the kids!
Joanna - That looks like a FUN preschool!
Kathy - Great pictures, I bet Annie misses Pre-School too! Love the teachers bright color aprons!
