yesterday i not only celebrated muffins with mom at one school, but both. as you can imagine by the time lunch rolled around if i had never seen another muffin in my life again i think i would have been ok.
lela's class also surprised me along with some other moms that had helped in the classroom this year with a book of drawings and sentences from each of the students. i absolutely started crying when i read it. i will never be able to explain how special this book is to me. as i read what the kids thought about me and how i helped them this year it made my heart fill with joy as tears started streaming down my face. let me tell you this is what life is about...helping one another! little does any of those kids realize how much they have given to me and how truly blessed i am to have had the opportunity to be there with them this year.
lacey's muffins with mom consisted of me receiving a cookbook, a list of questions and answers describing your mom (lacey did pretty good - now that's scary) and a terrarium with a watermelon in it. (i don't think lacey understands that at some point we have to take the plant out in order for a watermelon to actually grow on the vine.) here is her list of questions and answers per lacey daniell, herself:
all about mom
- i know my mom loves me when ... i clean up
- my mom looks pretty when ... we go to church
- my mom is happy when ... she doesn't get mad at me
- what makes my mom mad ... when i'm mean to her
- my mom's favorite place to go ... is shopping (that's my girl)
- mom's favorite food ... is vegetables
- if my mom could buy anything she would buy ... a purse (hit the money on the head)
- height ... 5 feet tall,
- weight ... 16 lbs,
- age ... 69 years old (thanks, lace. love you too)
also this week at lela's school we have been celebrating teacher appreciation week. i decided to do something a little different and actually just wait and give her teacher her "gift" the last week of school. the pta did something everyday for the teachers, so i was also at a loss as to what to do. i found this really cool website from a friend of mine who recommended it - no fuss fabulous. talk about neat ideas. well, i got on there and found a cute little inexpensive gift which was a bouquet of pencils. i decided to throw that together yesterday and give it to lela's teacher. what teacher couldn't use a bunch of pencils? it turned out so cute! just look!
here is lacey's recipe for pizza from her class cookbook she made me.
