Here is my favorite little speller. She got second place in the entire 4th grade!!! She spelled catastrophe wrong. Even I had to think about it as I typed it. LOL! I am so proud of her!

Mother's Day Photos

Image
For mother's Day we headed down to Il Cortile on Mulberry Street. My family, my sister's family, my bro and SIL and my parents of course all went. After dinner we took some photos in the park outside my parent's building. They are not the greatest but they will have to do. Dylan, me and Natalie. Yes it was that cold that I had my jacket buttoned up to my neck and my nose was red. But what can you do. Me and my kiddos, Dylan and Natalie, my niece Nicole and nephew Marco. :) My Mom and all her grandchildren. :) My Niece Nicole, my SIL Denise and Natalie. My SIL is due July 6th. She is having a baby girl and so far they are naming her Sophia Rose. Pretty. :)

Teacher Appreciation Week

Image
Here is a little something to let my kiddos' teachers know that I appreciate them. I wrapped hershey chocolate bars in black polka dot patterned paper. Then I printed out the saying courtesy of eighteen25 on red cardstock and adhered it on top. I tied a bow with black grosgrain ribbon and had the kids sign the back. Instant teacher appreciation gift. :)
