Triplets' last day of PreK! (6/15/2011)

This is it... the last day of PreK for my babies... they are now Kindergarten-bound "officially"!


They have had a GREAT PreK year! They had 2 great teachers, met so many friends, did so many things, and have learned SO much! I'm so happy that they had this experience! :)



The other Room Mom and I put together a scrapbook for each of the teachers. They came out really cute! The kids were so proud that their own little creation appeared in each book and the teachers loved them! Seeing the kids excitement and the tears in the teachers' eyes & the smiles on their faces make things like this priceless!




Miss Sarah & Miss Theresa... thank you for everything this year! You are both awesome and my children have been so blessed to have you for their PreK experience! Many thanks...

Courtney graduates from Pre K! (6/8/2011)

Today, Courtney (my niece) graduated from PreK... another "official" Fall 2011 Kindergartener! **Congrats Courtney!**




Court... we are all so proud of you! Congrats on graduating PreK! Love you, Squirt!

Triplets' PreK graduation! (6/6/2011)

Here they are... the PreK Class of 2011 graduates! All ready for their big day!






The graduation ceremony was so cute! Besides the kids all being so excited, they filled the room with smiles with the sings they sang (and danced to!), the speaking parts they had, and of course-- the receiving of their diplomas! At one point during the ceremony, each child got the chance to come up and tell everyone what they'd like to be when they grow up! Here are my kids' responses... Anthony wants to be a "truck driver", Juliana wants to be a "teacher", and Micaela wants to be a "cheerleader". I am a very proud Mommy! :) Let's see what the future holds for them...



I loved the part where they gave each other hi-fives & hugs! They all have a lot to be happy for and proud of! :) They have all had a great PreK year!



The kids were blessed to have 2 awesome teachers -- Miss Sarah & Miss Theresa! They are both super nice and have been great with the kids! The kids love them! My kids have learned so much this PreK year and I am so very thankful for all they have done for my children.




Anthony, Juliana, & Micaela-- we are all so proud of you & love you SO much!! You guys have had an awesome PreK year. I can't believe how much you have grown and learned in this last year-- it's amazing! You guys are definitely ready to head off to Kindergarten! Congrats on your Graduation! I love you!

PreK picnic (5/20/2011)

Today, the kids had their PreK picnic at the Sawmill! The 3- and 4-year olds gathered to enjoy the day... despite the rain... and had fun with all of their friends!!



The PreK classes at the 3- and 4-year old level were filled with Multiples this school year... the Zerilli triplets covering the 4-year old class and the Wilke Quads covering the 3-year old class... and-- perfect together, as you can see! :) This pic is too stinkin' cute! Love it!

Mother's Day Tea at PreK (5/6/2011)

The triplets' PreK class hosted Mother's Day Tea today and it was so nice! The kids were SO excited about today.
When I came in, they were happily awaiting me with my seat at the head of the table in the middle of the 3 of them. Shortly after, they gave me thir Mother's Day projects/gifts that they made and OMG-- they were so cute & sweet... I love homemade gifts!! The each watched me closely with a huge smile on their face as I looked at each of their creations! So cute!!


Each of them made a "Mother's Day" packet and in it, they had to draw pictures and they disclosed certain info about their Mom. :)


Anthony & his Mother's Day project for me! In addition to this lovely picture of me, Anthony shared that "Mommy is-- 50 yrs old, my fave color is purple, my fave food is sweet potatoes (ALL news to me!) and his favorite thing to do with me is "play hide & go seek!" I <3 my little man! :)


Micaela & her Mother's Day project for me! In addition to yet another lovely picture of me, Micaela shared that "Mommy is-- 20 yrs old (that's what I'm talking about!), my fave color is pink, my fave food is carrots & they have to be baked (more news to me!) and her favorite thing to do with me is "bake cookies!" I ♥ my Gertie! :)


Juliana & her Mother's Day project for me! In addition to yet another lovely picture of me, Juliana shared that "Mommy is-- 19 yrs old (even better! you go girl!), my fave color is purple, my fave food is pasta (more news to me!) and her favorite thing to do with me is "eat!" I ♥ my Julie-bug! :)


After they gave us our gifts, we enjoyed treats & tea. The children also sang a few songs to the Moms all about Mother's Day! :) So sweet!

Babies... thank you for making Mommy feel extra-special special today! I had such a great time today and I LOVE all of the things you made for me. You guys did such a great job with everything and I will remember this day always. I am a very lucky Mommy! I love you guys SOOOOOO much, forever & ever!!

Easter parties at school! (4/15/2011)

Spring Break is next week and Easter is arund the corner, so we have to celebrate before we go on Break!

The Triplets had an Easter party with lots of yummy treats then headed outside for an Easter Egg Hunt and then sang Easter/Spring songs (who remembers the song "Little Bunny Foo Foo"? ... lol) It was really cute and the kids we SO excited and had a blast!





After I finished with the Triplets' party, I headed over to Angelia's school where she, too, had a party & an Easter Egg Hunt!



What a nice & fun way to finish up and head into Spring Break!

FUN at school! (4/2011)

This week, the kids had a few out-of-the-ordinary FUN things to do at school!

The Triplets had "Pajama Day" where they got to wear their PJ's to school... they were SO excited about this! :)


Angelia performed in a little Talent Show at her school for the 1st time! My Angelia is very shy, especially when it comes to being in front of others, and I was happily surprised to hear she was going to dance/perform in the Talent Show-- and she actually did it! It was an activity done by the school's music teacher to get them up on stage in front of other, show off their talent, etc. Angelia & her friends did good... dancing away on Stage!


Angelia-- Mommy is so proud of you for performing in today's show! You did a great job up there! I love you!

Holiday parties at school! (12/2010)

As expected, the kids were "partying it up" at school for the holidays!
At PreK, the triplets had their holiday party with lots of treats and then gathered for a surprise visitor--> SANTA!! Santa met with each child, each child got a special gift, and then the kids gave back to Santa by performing for him and all of the parents that came out. It was really cute & the kids did a GREAT job!
**The kids with their teachers... Miss Theresa & Miss Sarah... the kids love them both!




The next day, Angelia's class celebrated and again-- a great time had by all. The kids watched the Polar Express that morning, so they got to wear their robes and slippers for the occassion. My "little elves" came for the party, too... they were lovong life hanging out with the "big kids" at their party!


It was a really fun-filled 2 days with all of the school parties! :)

Triplets' 1st school picture day! (11/8/2010)

Here they are... all ready for their 1st "school picture day"! Wow-- I can't believe they are old enough to be in school, getting school pics, etc... wow-- how time flies! Anyway-- Juliana doesn't look too "happy" in this pic, but I am happy to report that she did smile in her actual school pic. :)

Triplets' 1st day of school (PreK)! (9/13/2010)

Well, the day has finally come... the triplets go to school! It's only PreK, but it's "school"! I can't believe they are old enough to do this!

They were SO excited for days (well-- weeks) about being able to go to school! That morning, we got Angelia up & off to school, came home, got all ready, and then off to PreK! WHen it was time to go into the classroom, no tears-- they gave kisses & said their goodbyes, and off into the classroom they went!
Wow-- it's such an odd feeling-- walking them into the school-- the place where I brought Angelia 2 years ago with the triplets trailing behind and waving good-bye to their big sister & cousin... and now-- here they are, going into the classroom themselves! Wow!


They came out of their 1st day with all smiles & can't wait to go back. :) I heard all about their new friends, what they did, all about the teacher & the classroom, etc. Wow-- they are SO growing up! I can't wait to see how much they grow & flourish this year... it's a great opportunity for them.
