the graduates

Zak and I received our preschool diplomas in a solemn ceremony yesterday, as reflected in this photo. After an orderly procession to our row of chairs up front, the program mostly entailed our class performing customary graduation standards, culminating with a stirring rendition of "Numbers Rock". After being given our diplomas and "I'm Special" stickers, those in attendance then enjoyed an ice cream social and playtime in the park next door. Most prestigious universities could learn a thing or two about commencement ceremonies from our preschool.

The best part is we get to do all this again next year before starting kindergarten in the fall of '09.

too cool for school

Mom had to snap this shot of us before preschool this morning because, frankly, we look so very cool. Look at all the things going on at once here:

1. the "Kawasaki Racing" t-shirt I am wearing
2. the "Mom" heart t-shirt Wynston is wearing, which was bought to commemorate Mother's Day¹
3. not only am I holding both a bucket truck and a searchlight truck, but they also happen to be twins
4. the wicked shades we are both sporting, and of course
5. the two of us, who make any scene cool simply by being present

I know ... it's almost too much.
