Last day of school!

Max and Ruby have successfully finished Kindergarten and Preschool! I found a simple idea  for teacher gifts on pinterest (originally from Family Fun). We used just one hand cut-out and I think they turned out cute. I figured the teachers might get a lot of treats or trinkets, but who doesn't like a new bottle of fragrant lotion?

If you still need a teacher's gift, give this a try. Come to think of it, this would work for any sort of thank you gift. "Hands down, you're the best" and "You deserve a hand" are the phrases we used. But really there are probably lots of options here. It's so easy.. ... no baking or crafting (except the tags, if you want to. I busted out the stamps, but you could do it on the computer). Just remember to trace your kids' hands before they go to bed, because if you're like me, you won't actually put these together til midnight.

The kids had some wonderful teachers this year. I always felt they were in good hands while at school.
Hey - there I go with the "hand" theme again! Didn't even do that intentionally.
I'm so thankful for great teachers and all their hard work!
