Summer Vacation! (Last Day Picnic)

29 May 2011

Oscar’s last day of actual Kindergarten was Thursday.


Here they are lining up for the last time :) awww, so sentimental.


This is Barbara, Oscar’s Italian teacher. She put their years work into a book for them to keep.

Then Friday we went to Golden Gate Park for a bbq and picnic. The spot was beautiful – just adjacent to Stow Lake. So many flowers were blooming, and the waterfall rushing. Nana tagged along for the fun. The sun came out and it was awesome. Both Ruth and Suzy’s classes were there – which was great because there will be a mixing up of the classes in the fall! I know Oscar really likes a few of those guys (Hugo, Sonny, Dominic…) Thanks Ms. Ruth, it was a great year!

BIG Thanks to Philip Sabes, Jacob’s dad, for 5 or 6 of these photos! He took that last one of Amanda, (Tamir’s mom) walking with the crew. I love it!

School’s Almost Out

23 May 2011

I can’t believe it. This is Oscar’s last week of kindergarten. I’m feeling kinda sentimental.


After school with friends at Midtown Terrace


Caltrain field trip to San Mateo. Four kindergarten classes assemble in downtown San Francisco, board, ride, and de-board without a hitch! We so rocked that!

Oakland A’s Fans

Oscar temporarily switched allegiances for Tamir’s birthday party last weekend.

And, in an unexpected big-boy move, he declined the offer of my presence at the ballpark. I believe this to be his first “drop-off” party. (cool! and so very adventuresome!)
With Tamir’s parents Amanda and Barry, and surprise guest Ms. Ruth, the kids Barted to the game, ate hotdogs in the sunshine, and watched the A’s cruise to a 5-1 win over the Tigers.

We broke out the face paint for a little pregame Green and Gold:

Jacob chose his hand instead (clever I thought):

After the game, we re-joined the group at Tamir’s house. Lucy was rooting for the A’s too!

Here’s Tamir after blowing out the candles on the yummy cake:

Thanks for a fun day at the ballpark! Happy Birthday Tamir!
