Justin's Last Day Of Pre-K

I've known since August that May 22nd would be Justin's last day of school. I have known for several months that Justin loves his teacher and that she has helped him immensely. I have known for just as long that we wanted to make something special as a thank you gift for her. I've known for a few weeks that I wanted to make a scrapbook then a garland for her out of K&Co's Kazoo Kids Scrap Pad To Go. Could I find it anywhere??? NO!!! In desperation I trounced around the local stores and found this lovely
paper at Hobby Lobby of all places. It is Daisy D's and it's probably even more perfect than the K&Co that I was obsessed with. I of course didn't find it until Monday afternoon when his last day was Tuesday so I worked late into the night and then in the wee hours of the morning to get it done. I have to say I was a little teary in the class room. My baby will be going to big boy school next fall.. .ALL day EVERY day. It's also scary putting him in the hands of a teacher I don't know. I was lucky enough to know Bambi (Mrs. Brunkow) through scrapbooking so was comfortable leaving my then 4 year old in her (and lovely Mrs Ford's) care. I am also so happy for Bambi. She suffered the tragedy of losing her husband that I cannot, nor want to even try to comprehend but I have noticed on our last few visits that she was sparkling and seemed lighter than I'd seen her in a long time. She confided in me that she had found someone new and that she was getting MARRIED!!! I am so excited for her! She showed me her invitations yesterday (she is making them herself and they are AWESOME!) ...and her honey is quite the CUTIE! He is a very lucky man. My wish for them is many happy years and many ornery kids together! Believe me, after a year with Justin and his classmates she is definitely prepared!

June Tools of the Trade Class

Here is my sample for the June Tools of the Trade class titled "My Hero". It's a masculine layout using the Curvy Cutter, Star Pop Up Punch and the Basic Grey File set.

Sutton's Birthday Party

Saturday was spent at the roller ring celebrating Sutton's birthday. This was only the second time the boys had been roller skating so there were lots of crashes to start out with but I was amazed at how fast they improved. They kept asking me why I wasn't skating ..."don't you know how?"... Little do they know I was quite the skater in my time. My problem is I injure myself falling on nice soft carpet...I don't have a prayer on a hard wooden skating rink. The boys had a ball. Hope Kara appreciates the skateboard Justin got for Sutton ... HA HA HA!

Cub Scout Crossover - Wolf to Bear

Last night was a big night for the Bergmans. Grant crossed over from being a Wolf to a Bear. The ceremony includes eating some "Bear Meat" as a rite of passage. You can see what Grant (who doesn't eat meat on a good day) thought of that!

Also...do you like our outfits? They're new. Kyle and I have gotten pretty involved in the pack so decided to make it official with the lovely uniforms.
