last day o school / friends

Go out with a bang

In the last two weeks of school I had six field trips
that I went on between the two kids.
What a blast.

thank goodness for teachers

We are lucky to have the world's best teacher
every year so we are always making them special gifts for
Ender and Maya to hand to them.
I used the Martha Stewart scoring board(pictured above)
to make these nifty whatchamacallit's (pictured below)
that I decorate everything with these days.
I wrapped up a candy bar in a pretty paper and
slapped on a thank you or your the best.
