Today marked the LAST of several things for our family......
Reese is done with SECOND GRADE!
~Last day of school~
Graham is done with PRESCHOOL!
~Last day of school~
And Tagg is ready to move to a 'big boy seat'!
~Last time in his infant carseat~
When I started having kids, one of my aunts told me to remember to write down the 'lasts'. We always capture the 'firsts' in baby books and in photos, but don't forget that the 'lasts' can be just as special!
Thank you Yellow Bliss Road for those super cute 'last day of school' papers. Print yours free here.

Here are 10 easy and quick Teacher Appreciation Gift ideas.
I can PROMISE that they are easy and quick because I've made them all!
1. "We are so thankful that God PICKED you to be Reese's teacher this year!"
Strawberry scented hand soap and hand sanitizer make a nice change from the expected 'apple' scented teacher gifts. Put the soaps in an empty fruit container box to make it that much more special! (For this gift, I also included a gift card to a local produce market.)
2. "An excellent TEACHER never falls to PIECES."
What a neat little jar to keep at the desk when the teacher might need a little something sweet!
3. "You are one POLISHED teacher."
4. "I have to ad-'mitt' you are a great teacher!"
Find a cute oven mitt and all you need to do is print and attach THIS label!
(This link is for another 'ad-mitt' label. Right now, I can't find the one I used.)
5. "You are one 'soup'er teacher!"
I bought a gourmet bag of soup and attached a simple, handwritten label.
6. "We need S'more teachers like you!"
This was the yummiest teacher gift I have ever made.
Mix a bag of mini marshmallows, a box of bear shaped Graham Crackers and a bag of Hershey's Milk Chocolate Drops. Since the marshmallows will dry out, be sure to place your mixture in an air tight container and be sure to use THIS cute tag.
(I almost substituted the Drops for a bag of milk chocolate chips and I'm SO glad I didn't! The Drops make this so delicious.)
Who doesn't want to eat S'mores by the handful????
7. "Thanks for making me one smart cookie."
Attach THIS cute card (and maybe even the recipe!).
8. "You deserve a hand."
9. "You're an A&Wesome teacher!"
10. "There is no 'sub'stitute for you."
It doesn't have to be a gift card with a ton of $.
5$ at Subway can get a teacher a lunch! You know that saying, "Every little bit counts."

Our Easter went by so fast. I see a trend here.... these years of my kids being little are just flying.
(Tagg's FIRST Easter)
We didn't get Easter eggs colored, or even a family picture of the five of us.... but we spent the day in Church and with family- both things that are hard to beat.
The cantata that our Church Choir performed yesterday was, by far, my favorite book we've done. Resurrection Sunday is so powerful itself, but singing amazing songs to a worthy Savior is humbling.
(The Easter book we sang from was 'The Day He Wore My Crown' arranged by Russell Mauldin.)
I'm thankful for all the practices we did and for needing to pay attention to the part I was singing, otherwise, I would have been a sobbing mess on stage. The words of these songs were so powerful.
My favorite song was Man of Sorrows. It was the song my husband did as his solo. If you'd like to listen to it, you can here: Man of Sorrows.
I hope you had a fabulous Easter Sunday.
Spending time with family, making memories and
remembering the SAVING end of Jesus Christ's death.
"Sent of Heaven, God's own Son, to purchase and redeem. And reconcile the very ones who nailed Him to that tree.
Oh that rugged cross, my salvation, where Your love poured out over me, now my soul cries out Hallelujah! Praise and honor unto Thee."
