Late But Loved....Mother's Day

To say we've been busy would be an understatement. It's funny because if we are home at least one day out of the week it's considered a slow week. I'm not complaining. I love my family and the time we spend together. I do have a small confession though...I've been running around like crazy mom that I almost forgot about getting my Mother's Day gift ready at school. It seriously became a last minute gift but I think it turned out precious and hopefully none of the mommas felt as though they were a last minute thought.

Hobby Lobby had everything I needed.

1) 1X1 mosiac tiles

2) ribbon

3) necklace loop (this is not the official name)

4) Modge Podge

5) strong ceramic glue (to attach the necklace loop)

Considering I was running a little behind I'm happy this project was fast and easy. The kids wrote an "I Love You" message on the back of the tile and then Modge Podged their picture to the front.

I made 1X1 pictures in Microsoft Word.

The problem solving that took place when I asked them to measure 24 inches of ribbon was greatness. They make me giggle. That was probably the hardest part of the project for them. They looked at me like I was crazy because the ruler was only 12 inches. Thankfully most of them figured it out and some needed a little guidance but everyone was successful.

I just love adding pictures to things. So we added a picture to our card and it was ready to send home.

I took a sneak peak at some of their messages to mom. They were so thoughtful and sweet and some I didn't really know what to say....

{this one says that their mom is so "awesome" that the other moms brag about her to their husbands}

{this one says "thanks for all the stuff you do and for breastfeeding me, I hope I can repay the favor one day"}

What?!

Despite running behind I think they turned out sweet and thoughtful. Of course if your reading this now you can save this for next year.

My little Honey Bunny entered a Mother's Day contest at one of our boutiques in town LaRue and won. WOOHOO! She entered so many times I was afraid they were going to block her from their site. It just made my heart happy that she wanted it so bad.

She won!! I cannot believe she won. We had fun trying to spend all that money. Thank you LaRue!!

I hope all the mommas had a wonderful and relaxing day.

I Monday MADE IT!!

Hi Sweet and Sassy Friends!! I have some fun pictures of some things that I have made just in time for school to start and Monday Made It. {insert cheering and clapping} Okay, first.......I didn't actually make the bench BUT I did repaint it and get it classroom ready. That should totally count and the fact that I nearly took out the neighbor's window during the process. {if your my neighbor reading this--I'm sorry and it's okay} Here is the before: {donated by a dear friend-LOVE her} I need you to picture this: I'm on my front porch with the lid of the bench resting nicely on the back of the bench (easier for sanding). I'm using a handy-dandy electric sander. Super powerful. I place the sander on the lid and push the button..........OH. MY. WORD. the board shoots across the yard towards the neighbors window. YIKES!! A little embarressing but no one saw, so I pick it up bring it back and this time I hang on to it....

{FREEBIE} Friday!

These summer Fridays are coming and going a little too fast. I met with some of my teamies this week. Actually, it was 1st and 2nd grade......it's always nice to catch up and share ideas. We ate, talked, ate, stressed, laughed, and talked some more. Loved it! A get together just doesn't seem appropriate without a little back to school goodie, right?! And who doesn't LOVE some Bath and Body lotion??!! If you need to throw together a quick little gift please feel free to use these tags. { click here } Hop over to TBA to check out other { FREEBIES } this Friday. Have a SWEET day, friends!!

All Things Techy...and FREE

Well ya'll, I have so many wonderful things going on in the classroom and it's all things techy. I cannot wait to share a few of them with you. If you haven't stopped by our class blog then you should. { Mrs. Kirby's Kid's Blog } These authentic pieces of writing just make me so stinkin' happy. I constantly check my email throughout the weekend to see if they have written anything. Not because I told them to but because they want to. (insert happy teacher dance right here) I took my very first student bloggers to the school board and they told our school board what a blog is and why they think it's important. I gave each one of the kids that presented a small journal, sticky notes and pens to write their ideas about things they'd like to blog about. This is what their journals look like 2 days later.... These kids cannot get enough!! Look at all their THOUGHTS... BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Look at...

Keeping Up With Kirbys
