MANY Thanks

The title MANY thanks is certainly true on today’s post. It seems that now that school is out I finally have time to share a few thank you’s I created for two of the teachers and our bus driver.

It’s hard to believe that an entire school year is over. The kids all did very well in their studies and I’m a super proud mom. The two little boys started a new school this past year and I think a few of us were a little pale that first day with all the changes it brought. We were so blessed this year to have the boys settle in well and enjoy their classes. The teachers were amazing and the boys loved their bus driver so much that one of them invited him to Christmas dinner. He had his own family of course, and didn’t come but he was honored to be asked. I must be a sentimental sap as I find myself a little teary eyed at the thought of not seeing them again next year. Because of system boundary changes, they are headed to yet another school next year but I know that God already has wonderful things planned for them there.

Now that school’s out, what do you plan to do with your kids? If crafting fun is on the agenda, Ellen Hutson LLC has some ideas you just might want to check out. Of course, even if you don’t have kids at home, a sale is always worth looking into, right? The first blinkie in my sidebar under my photo is the link. Don’t forget to put KIDS10 as the promo code.
