Teacher Appreciation

Wesley has the greatest kindergarten teacher! He thinks the world of her. So, I was trying to think of something special to do for her. And then I remembered an idea I got from a friend of mine (thanks Rebecca B.). She does teacher appreciation dinners for her kids teachers. So, I asked Wesley if he would like to invite Mrs. Hasbrouck and her husband over to our house for dinner and he didn't even hesitate before excitedly answering "YES!" We grilled some steaks, had dutch oven potatoes, fruit, salad, and bread. It was all yummy, except I couldn't seem to get my steak done enough! I am one of those " very-well-done" people.

Wesley wanted to do 3 things with his teacher; Roast Marshmallows (we invited a few of the kids from our street that were out to come on back and roast a few),

have an Easter egg hunt, and jump on the trampoline, which I did not get picture of;-) Wesley filled all of the eggs himself and then hid them.

This is Wesley with Mrs. Hasbrouck. She is so beautiful and fun, it is no wonder Wesley loves her so much! At school, when she catches the kids doing something good, she will give them a little picture of a frog and write on the back something like, "You have earned a Fabulous Frog for working quietly during math." It is really fun for the kids. So, Wes and I decided that Mrs. Hasbrouck has definitely earned a Fabulous Frog for making kindergarten so fun and for being an outstanding teacher. Her Fabulous Frog award is in the form of a cute wreath she can choose to hang up in her classroom, or at home for a Spring time. It was fun to make, and frustrating because I couldn't find the frog I had pictured in my mind....but it turned out pretty cute.

THANKS AGAIN MRS. HASBROUCK FOR ACCEPTING THE INVITATION TO COME FOR DINNER AND FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL TO OUR INCREDIBLE SON!!!
