Teacher appreciation week

This year, teacher appreciation week snuck up on me! It's usually Valentines week... but this year it was a week early. Thanks to Pinterest, we managed to find a few ideas for 3 days of treats for staff!

First off was the flower pot filled with suckers! This is where the idea comes from.

We hot glued the ball in the pot and then started poking in suckers we found at Walmart.

Maelie enjoyed the fact that she could participate.

We had to punch them in once in a while!! We managed to fill it with about 110 suckers!!

Missing something?

How about a ribbon to finish it off? We also added a sign thanking the staff at Maelie's school.

Day 2, we filled 1X8 bags with M&Ms.

Then I added a cute little poem that I found at this website. I had the poem printed at Staples as the color quality is much better than the printer we have here! Aren't they adorable?

The final idea of the week was some Extra gum packs. I saw the idea online and just modified the poem.

Didn't it turn out cute? It smelled so minty in my kitchen even through the wrapping! :)

Maelie was quite proud to give her treats away to the staff. She loves to give!! Just like I do. I hope they were happy with our treats this week! :)

Happy bday Bill!

Feb 3rd was Bill's birthday. Maelie was up at 5 am to make sure we had everything ready for when he got up! He prefers to wake up in a *slower* way.

He was barely up when he was bombarded with his presents.

He was able to survive through that and then sit in the living room with his coffee..... followed by cheesecake!! There's nothing like early morning cheesecake! LOL

We had a nice lunch at the buffet :) Happy bday Bill!!
