Tonight was Thomas' kindergarten program and graduation. The theme was mother goose nursery rhyme party and Thomas' class performed Old King Cole. They were so cute and did a great job. The boys dressed like Kings and the girls were Queens as you can see!
During this part of the program Thomas was being awarded a gold medal for completing the 100 word club and becoming a reader this year!
After the program we surprised Thomas with a special dinner at The Brewery (one of his favorite dining spots) to celebrate this year and his accomplishments. He even got balloons, a cake, and some gifts! He was eating up being the guest of honor!
His Nana and Pa got him his very own baseball bat, with ball and glove! (this is something he has been asking for every since the church softball game a few weeks back)
Thomas was really giving out the hugs tonight!
Grandmom and Grandaddy gave him a cap gun and pistol set! Also a very big hit!
And his present from us...a leaf blower...yes a real gas powered leaf blower! This kid has been begging for one of these forever!!! And he and his daddy worked out a deal a very long time ago that if he did really good this year and did all his homework and learned to read that he could have his very own leaf blower for kindergarten graduation! This kid would rather work than eat. He cannot wait to start using it! Titus assures me this will be safe for him to use under supervision...I sure hope so!
And even though it was late and past bed time when we got home of course Thomas wanted to try out everything he got...We made a deal to try just ONE thing...and seeing as how there is no way I was running through the yard chasing a baseball in the dark and for sure not cranking up a leaf blower going to the porch to play with the new cap gun seemed to be the best choice. I thought he was going to loose his mind when he saw real sparks and smelled gun powder when he fired his new little pistol and shotgun! He thinks he is big time now for sure!
He made sure to tell me he was the fastest gun on Eledge Lane!
Here is Tyler being a supportive Brother...he hadn't had a decent nap all day so we couldn't believe he held up for all the festivities but he did! Like a pro...even for dinner! Maybe he'll sleep all night. Lord knows he has surely got to be tired enough!
Grandmom scores some extra lovin'
I am so thankful for such a great evening celebrating my little punkin with the best friends and family anyone could ever ask for!
