Sometimes you are headed into the store when you look at your baby's feet and realize you must find some socks
to cover her oh-so-dirty toes. 

And then sometimes you realize that your toddler has gotten into the stash of nail polish and later find her on the couch with a blanket

covering her oh-so-sparkly toes.

teacher appreciation week

It's teacher appreciation week again. Funny how that comes every year.:)

This year *we* made snack packs for all the teachers... and then I figured, why stop there? I should let the secretaries and counselor and principal know that they're appreciated, too.:)

Designed, cut, folded, glued-- and had a door hanger... converted to a water bottle hanger with a snack pocket. Dropped in a 20-oz water bottle-sized Crystal Light packet, a pack of chewing gum, and a granola bar, and we were ready to appreciate some hard workers at the school.

Of course, I had them in a box at the front door ready for delivery Monday morning when Blessing #3 decided to get into a wrestling match and fell on top of them. He managed to severely mangle one... but fortunately- and miraculously!- it was only one. I had a spare, so I was able to swap around names. Hopefully Mrs. Schuster doesn't realize that she got the *boy* design instead of the flowery *girl* design. And hopefully she doesn't think I did that because she's a PE teacher.;-)
