Preschool Graduation – Movie

It has been so long that I made the graduation post that nobody would see the movie…

Leilani’s Art – June 2010

The outstretched left arm means she is taking a self portrait. And the rings under her eyes usually mean she is sick, tired or had petrochemicals (foodcoloring) to eat. And the floor is always that dirty (or worse).

Our fish are still floating in Leilani’s room:

She and the kids at Orchids made this heart a long time ago, the blurry photo of it is kinda neat:

Another Self-Portrait:

Leilani drew lots of pictures of Stitch the alien, and put them up in every room of the house. I’m not sure what motivated this, maybe she wanted to imagine him at her house. We made her take them down after a while, but before she did she photographed most of them.

In the bathroom:

In OUR bedroom (there was one on each light):

In the office:

Near the front door:

I have a lot of flowers and herbs on the deck. And I am proud to say, they get watered almost exclusively with rinsing, pipe flushing or (bubble)bath water… We hope that the yard guy that our landlord fired stays away, then I’ll put some flowers into the ground too. (Last time he came he mowed all my flowers, Leilani’s kiddie pool (really, 2 holes I could get both of my hands through) and I caught him when he took down the yellow caution tape that protected the new lawn… the time he came before that he killed all my poppies. Twice. But the potherbs grow nicely, safe on the deck.

Well, that’s not Leilani’s art. But it wouldn’t make a good blogpost by itself..

The Mike

So we have our cute Leilani to take pictures of. But what does Leilani photograph? The cute cats. Jojo is not very photogenic, so it is mainly Mikey.


And so it does not get boring, Leilani decorates him a little. He still likes her, because she always notices when he is hungry (and even though she can’t open cans, she is persistent enough to make us do it). She also gives him cat cookies every day.




Self portrait with Mikey

Andy says: Mikey must be thinking: “The cookies better come soon today.”

Playdate with Luci and Olivia at Amys

Amy took the girls bowling. She thought Leilani was a natural… unlike me, I am the worst bowler in history, I always am last and I manage to make every team loose. But not anymore… I stopped bowling altogether.

They had lunch at Fresh Chioce

Best Friends

They visited Amy’s Aunt Marie:

Who painted their toenails

MNS End Of Year Party

Teacher Liselle made a portfolio for every child. They were so proud of them. Here Leilani is showing hers to Daddy.

Everybody got a bag, and let all their friends sign it.


Feed me. Pleeeeaaaaseeee

Most of these photos were taken by Leilani with Leilani’s camera



Until she asked me to hold it…
