Teacher gifts

Although we homeschool we have a lot of teachers.  These are the gifts the kids made for their Logos teachers.  We made bag-a-lopes that had yummy B&BW anti-bac and Kisses.  Emily chose and stamped penguins.  She loves penguins.  All the girl teachers received penguins with bows on their heads, her one boy teacher got a penguin with a bow tie.  Devon didn't want to stamp, so he used Christmas dp of his choices for each teacher.

 While the younger two were working on the bag-a-lopes, Tyler was making ornaments for their choir teachers.  I printed Ode to Joy and he drew the template, then got busy making birds.

Thanks for looking!

 Today I'm grateful for:  out of the blue 'I miss you' text from husband, craft time with my favorite kids, seeing the faces of grownups surprised with chocolate (they turn into little kids, I tell ya!), cold beer with my man after dinner talking just us two, and listening to Bible study kids and their big thoughts

Happy Birthday to Me

It's my birthday today. My sons made me breakfast (yummy cinnamon waffles, scrambled eggs, and coffee) and then all three kids gave me the cards they made for me.

Tyler's 11 and his note said 'From your son who knows where your stuff is' rofl Two circle punches, a heart punch, corner rounder, Crystal Effects on the hearts and Spica on and around Mickey? Yeah, I would say he knows where my stuff is.


Devon's 9 and doesn't like to stamp, he prefers to draw his own pictures. He's missing a few candles ;-) but I love the two layer cake. He also enjoys the corner rounder.


Emily's 3. She told me last night all about the card she made for me and how she wrote all the letters herself. A wee proud she is...and so am I. She also told me about my cake, but I covered her mouth and sent her out of the room when she said 'present'. lalalalalalala I hear nothing.

Envelope:

Front:On the inside she sacrificed some of her beloved stickers, including the beach ball which must have been highly prized as it was pointed out four times.

All the stickers took the signing space, so she signed it on the back. The bottom left is a 3 "because I'm 3". For the record, I'm now 38 and thought that was what she was going for. Nope. sigh"it's a 3, Mom, 'cause *I'm* 3!" silly me for thinking my birthday card would be about me.

I am so blessed to have these loving little people in my life! They are all so excited about surprising me with breakfast, cards, cake and gifts later. THAT is a gift to me.

Thanks for looking!

Today I'm very grateful for celebrating another wonderful year of life with people I love.
