Sunday~122/365

Sunday May 1, 2011

So this past week was National Teacher Appreciation Week and since we are watching our budget I looked to see what I could make and bake for the boys' teachers as little tokens of our appreciation. Sunday night I whipped up a batch of peanut butter & jelly muffins. The first batch didn't turn out so well, but the second batch didn't turn out so bad!

Monday~123/365

Monday May 2, 2011

These are the muffins that I bundled for the boys' teachers today...I had the boys each write a note to their teacher telling them what they liked about school and how much they appreciated them as well as thank you! I prettied up the packages with white tulle!

Tuesday~124/365

Tuesday May 3, 2011

Tuesday was a busy busy day...Brendan had play practice after school, Colin had choir practice after school which we had to rush away from early to make it to the ballpark for a double header. The about picture is Colin at bat. The Cubs pulled away a win...they are having a great season with only 3 losses..11-3!

This was a very convenient double header as both teams played on the same field. And since we didn't even have time to stop and grab a bite, I packed a picnic dinner for us to eat on the way!

Ryan coaching Brendan on 1st base and then below Ryan catching for Brendan until the catcher was ready with his equipment on. This was a very exciting game. The Cardinals were up and then the Red Sox would go ahead and it was all tied up at the bottom of the 6th (the last inning). The ump was something awful the entire game and called a kid from the opposing team safe at home when he clearly should have been out (which he later admitted was a bad call) so we lost the game 11-10. {insert MAD face here}

Day 3 of Teacher Appreciation Week brought us to chocolate covered strawberries...so YUMMY! The note that was sent was 'Thanks for being so sweet!"

Thursday~126/365

Thursday May 5,2011

Thursday was Colin's choir concert. He did a great job and even had a solo in the song "We Are the World". I was so proud of him. Here is Colin & Kayla after his concert.

Friday~127/365

Friday May 6, 2011

Last day of teacher appreciation gifts...a coffee mug filled with flower pencils and pens & a gift card to Starbucks with the note "Thanks for helping me grow!" I had lots of fun trying to be fun and frugal for their teachers (Tuesday was trail mix with "I'm nuts about you!" and Thursday was homemade cookies with "I think you're a top notch cookie!")


This was a long and busy week so pizza from our favorite place was dinner tonight. And yes we were all in bed by 9pm!!

Saturday~128/365

Saturday May 7, 2011

Saturday we were once again up at the butt crack of dawn to be to the diamond by 7:30 where Colin and the Cubs were up against the Indians. Colin pitched 3 innings and did an awesome job! He also scored 3 times to help the Cubs bring home a WIN...8-3!

After coming home and showering up Colin, my mom and I headed to the store to look for some birthday ideas for this soon to be 10 year old! After some shopping we headed to Culver's for lunch. I love their kid's meals with the free ice cream...here is Colin Boy enjoying his treat...YUM!

And then we got home and he hit the jack pot with his birthday box from Mimi and the clan over at He & Me + 3...who happens to be my IRL BFF and Colin's Godmother!

Tuesday is Colin's actual birthday...his golden birthday....he will be 10 on the 10th!
