Friday Favorites

It’s that time again to link up with Andrea, Erika, and Narci from Friday Favorites

{One} This boy did amazing at his preschool program last night.  He waited (not so) patiently for an entire week to go up on stage and sing loud and proud.  When he walked in the church, he was so serious I thought all the people were going to intimate him.  He stood up on stage so serious, but then when the music came on, his arms were moving and he was loud and proud!

{Two}  Starbucks for the win this week!  Um, hello…the new mini Frappuccino's are perfect for the littles!  Before I picked them up from school one day, I stopped and grabbed two because we were heading across town to get a car wash and I thought I’d like a sweet treat on the way.  And they did.  They loved the Crème Caramel Ribbon.  Now I’m hoping they’ll keep that mini cup forever!

{Three}  Last day of school.  We now have a few weeks of lazier mornings where we don’t need to get ready and head out the door.  The kids head back June 9th for two mornings a week for June and July.  I’d call lazy mornings a favorite! 

We also prepared some thank you’s for their teachers this week. The chocolate idea is from iheartnaptime for the “treasure tags”.  Who’s not a chocolate lover?  Is it even possible to not love chocolate?! 

Then the kids added a personal touch and included a fingerprint flower for helping them learn and grow.  Xander did his all by himself and I was pretty impressed.  For Sterling’s teacher, I added a little note: Thank you for your rules and telling me “no”…I didn’t understand it then, but I’m going to grow into a better person because of you.”  I wanted to add in a touch of how she was a twerp for crying and frowning on her whenever she didn’t get what she wanted (for 3 months!).  I loved that her teacher stuck to the rules and Sterling didn’t get away with everything (because she still got away with a lot!).  Sterling still loves her teacher and talks about her sweetly, so I just wanted her (the teacher) to know that she is still loved.

I also worked on the end of year gifts (eoy) for the students that I help in the Pre-K class.  I found this idea from this free printable on Teachers Pay Teachers and then I found the bookmarks also on TPT.  This years EOY gifts turned out adorable!

{Four}  I went through my phone pics the other day and noticed I had some pretty fun pictures of the kiddos. I guess I take them and forget about them.  These were taken before school.  On the bottom picture, I guess I put Xander’s shorts on backwards and he wore them like that all day!  Embarrassing moment after he came home and I saw they were backwards and he said “you did it mom!”

{Five}  I may not have gotten a card for Mother’s Day, but I have my sweet kiddos. They made me (with help of course) a jewelry holder.  I found the idea from The Crafting Chicks.  The kids loved working on this one although it was hard from them to roll out, but they still had fun playing with the dough.

Have a great weekend!
