I need ideas, please help!

-

This post is different than any others so far, I am soliciting help from all my creative friends and the ones who think they are not so creative (that's all of you).

School is quickly coming to a close and I have begun to think of what to get each of the kids' teachers to say "Thank You" for all they have done for my kids this year. It is John and Rachel's teachers that I am having trouble with. John and Rachel are in the same class so do I need to get them two things (one from each kiddo) or one thing together. These ladies are also the same ones Elizabeth had two years ago, so would it be tacky to give them the same thing Elizabeth gave two years ago, or do I need to come up with something new? They will also be the same ladies that John will have for the next two years in preschool. Tricky huh?!

Once I get that first issue figured out, the next is what to give. I figure that most of you have done this end of the year teacher gift thing a lot more than me so what great ideas do you have to share?

Grandma Sue says give two things-one for Rachel to hand to the teacher and one for John to hand to the teacher. What to give????
Hope your creative friends are really creative.

I think that it does not matter if you give 1 or 2 things. Let me think about it and I will get back to you. How long do you have? My first thought was a flower bouquet of fake flowers with the kids pics in the middle of them. I did this for the teacher and she loved it. I could cut flowers for you!

The Milestones That Bring Us Together

  Grateful for milestones that bring family together...Last Saturday my brothers and I gathered to celebrate our Dad's 80th birthday!!! After 80 years on earth my Dad's body continues to be strong (mostly) while his memory continues to fade. For a man who is a planner and organizer he struggles to live in the moment and be content...I guess when you don't have current memories to reflect on, you dream and imagine your future. Inspite of his current reality we enjoyed a few hours celebrating together, laughing, sharing and watching him relive his glory days with near clarity. Watching him watch himself play football and talk and share about the players and the plays brought out part of my Dad that has been hidden for years!

  There are moments in life when you realize just how blessed you are... celebrating my mom's 80th birthday recently was one of those moments!! Over the years we have moved away from one another, haven't always stayed in close contact with everyone but being together I felt the love that comes from being family! To my mom family is everything and it is her love for us individually that radiates and unites those around her! My mom is a little energizer bunny sharing, serving, living, loving, experiencing, adventureing and enjoying every moment of every day! She definitely is not 80 years old but 80 years loved!!! And on her way to many more!! From three awesome Andruski kids... ...to this beautiful bunch... ... combined 17 years ago with the Browns makes for a wonderful group of great people to love one special lady! A highlight of celebrating my mom was to spend time in the temple with her and many of her posterity...it was a very special family sealing session (three actual...
