I woke up excited and I stayed that way all day.  Today is my Pre-K graduation ceremony at 6:45p in Mimz neighborhood park.  It is just a few blocks from my school.

But first I had to have a full day of school.  A policeman visited our classroom and gave us some tips for keeping safe.

He gave us a coloring book just like one we got a couple of years ago.  I still have it at Barbara's home.  I know we have read that one a couple of dozen times.  I have it memorized.  He also gave us a police badge.  I wanted to wear it on the last day of school so Mimz put it where we would find it when I was getting ready for school.
.
I asked so many times what time is it, that both Mimz and Barbara got very tired of that question.  Barbara picked me up from school, and every couple of minutes I would ask, "what time is it?"   Most of the time Barbara said you can read the time yourself, I'm concentrating on driving."

I kept myself occupied watching the floor being installed and I joined Quinton and Sparkie for a few minutes on their break out by their truck.  They are planning on finishing up on Wednesday and Barbara and my great grandparents will be so happy.  They have the hard work of putting their house back together.   This day was chaotic at Barbara's home.  PaPa came over and took GGF to get some large rocks from ProLawn.  Grandma took GGM to a doctor's appointment, so they were in and out of the house.  And we all had to be ready to leave for my graduation ceremony at 5:15.  Kristan made sure she was here before that to get Anna Kate.   Barbara kept telling herself to "chill, this stressful week will be over very soon."  GGM did not come to my graduation for two reasons:  It was very hot and the workers wanted to stay late and she thought someone should stay with them.  It was 6:15 before they left.

AT Mimz home I put on my tie-dyed shirt.
But everyone else was at the ceremony:  Mimz, PaPa, Grandma, GGF, Barbara, Mommy and Daddy.
Mimz was able to get a car pass so GGF, Barbara, and Mimz and I could drive to the back of the park where the amphitheater was.   It would have been a long walk for them.  Mimz could do it easily because she is a hiker but GGF and Barbara really appreciated the ride.

The children all gathers off to the side.

Mommy, Grandma, GGF, Papa, and Barbara.  Daddy was off to the side and Mimz was taking the picture.

 The program.

 List of my teachers and classmates.

It started at 6:55pm, only ten minutes late.   All 18 of my classmates and I marched in to the Processional song (I don't know what the real name of the song is).  We each went to our assigned star.

My was right in the center on the back row.  I was probably on the back row because I am one of the tallest children.   We sang three songs: I Like Potatoes, The Tooty Ta Song, and The Number Game.  

Each child was given a diploma and...

was introduced.

Yea to all the graduates!

 We took pictures.

We took a picture of Miss Regan, Mrs. Thompson, and me.  Under a picnic area we had tiny cupcakes and water.  Then we all ran to the playground to play.  This was a very nice event.  I'm glad my family got to see me having a good time with my classmates.

I was so tired and it was late, so it was decided I would spend the night at Mimz home.  That way I could get a bath and get into bed quicker and I would not have to wake up as early.

 Note from my teachers.

This was a very good end to my school days at School in the Pines.
