Teacher Appreciation Week

We have been blessed with wonderful, patient teachers this year.  The boys and I put together Bloomin' Buttons to show our appreciation for their teachers.  This was another idea from Family Fun magazine and I think it turned out pretty cute!  I got the pots, wire and buttons from Michael’s and the plants from HyVee.  Tyler was able to help thread the buttons on to the wire.  Drew’s contribution to the project was crying incessantly for candy while we were checking out at Michael’s.  :o) 

Happy 5th Birthday, Tyler!

Tyler celebrated his birthday today with his friends at Chuck E. Cheese.  It was a 2 hour whirlwind of tokens, tickets & treasures.  Tyler’s Uncle Jeff made a surprise visit on his way back to Colorado.  I kept my winning streak against Brian alive in the basketball game that we I love to play.  My high score was 48 today!  It was such an easy party to throw…we actually had time to enjoy ourselves during the event.  A special thanks to Rebecca, our wonderful babysitter, for entertaining Drew during the party. 

Tyler spent the afternoon playing with his new toys.  There were even a few moments where he let Drew touch his new Star Wars action figures…baby steps!
