Happy Thursday! Today was pajama day at school! I love pajama day! How fun to be in pjs the whole day? I mean sometimes that happens but it is not on purpose! You know what I mean, you keep thinking I will just finish this and then get dressed….. and then you realize its 3pm and you better get dressed before the kids get home! I love it when it is on purpose…. feels great! So the kids were able to crawl out of bed, eat breakfast and be on their merry way! After today no more school until January! YES! Looking forward to two weeks with my family. Last day of school before Christmas break…. you know what that means…. TEACHER GIFTS!! I have it really easy, Tucker’s teacher is Mike, yes his dad! I love it, Tuck loves it and Mike loves it! Parent teacher conferences are a little funny but they are great. I did not have to worry about getting him a gift. That left three teachers, two of which are girl teachers. I have some wonderful sugar scrub made for the girl teachers, I made those the other day. I felt really prepared, then this morning I realized I forgot MIKEY”S Teacher! UH OH! This morning I am trying to think what in the world can I make super fast that is not totally lame….He is a male teacher so body wash is out… Well I had the large tumbler cups left over from an earlier craft… So I am thinking that could work and what to fill it with? CHOCOLATE! Boy or girl, who does not love some chocolate! I grabbed my tumbler and grabbed my party size bag of M&Ms and filled it up.
Tumbler check, candy check! Gift done!
Everything is better with a bow, a more manly bow would have been better but hey! It is a cute gift and took only minutes!
I threw a bow on it and gave it to Mikey. In hindsight, I probably did not need the bow, I would have like to have put some cute vinyl wording on it…. seriously though it was 7:10 this morning and they have to leave at 7:15. I am counting this as a win! Mikey feels good because he was able to give his teacher a little something and I used what I had on hand… so did not have to go spend any extra! Next year, I will be more prepared….. I say that every year it seems…. I am going to share with you the sugar scrub later this coming week. Tonight, Emma and I are making a bunch for her girlfriends for gifts. I am really excited to hang out with Emma, she is a sweet, fun girl who is growing up so very fast! Have a happy day! Tomorrow is my 16 yr wedding anniversary! I am so excited!
Huge hugs!
Lara
P.S. random fact about me! Unless it is freezing cold and I mean freezing cold, I can not sleep with socks on… not at all, I will rip those puppies off before I fall asleep no matter how cold it is! I will then try to warm my freezing feet on Mike… gotta admit! Have a happy day!
