~Last Day of School~

TREATS! For the kids it's all about the treats they give out on the last day of school.

Avery's class treats were really simple.

Found these cute lollipops at Michaels and could not resist them and just knew that I would think of something to use them for!

Printed some tags and used my 2" circle punch

Attached the tags to the front and added some ribbon

And there you go!
Avery's classmate commented that Avery always gives out the best treats!

Caleb's Class Treats

Bought these at the dollar store. I then took a sharp pair of scissors and cut them so that they were individual

Filled them with candy and taped the top on

Added some colourful ribbon

Inserted them into a bag and attached a summer tag

These turned out so cute!

And that's it! School treats are done and school is out!

~What's been going on~

Confirmations, Graduations and Dance Recitals that's what's been going on.

First we celebrated Madison's confirmation at the end of May.


Then Madison had her Gr 8 Graduation, we are so proud of her. She won an award for Most Improved Student and made the Honour Roll with an average of 86%.

Last we had Avery's dance recital to finish off June. It was a busy weekend but it was so fun! Avery loved every minute. She won an award for Excellence in 3 or more dance classes.

It's nice to finally have some downtime to relax.!

~A catch up post~

Wow, I can't believe that it is May 11th already and that it has been almost 2 months since my last post.
Starting at the end of March until the first weekend in May, I was kept busy almost every weekend with dance competitions for Avery. This is her first year competing and she had 4 competitions in total, one in Kingston, Peterborough, North York and Scarborough.
She loved every minute of it and we are very proud of her. She was in a ballet group number and a production number.

In between competitions we had time to fit in a visit from the Easter Bunny! Here are some pics of the kids dying their Easter eggs.

These were Madison's eggs, she was creative and put elastics bands around them to get this look.

Hope everyone had a great Easter and Mother's Day. Now that the nicer weather is here we have barely been in the house. It's so nice to be able to spend more time outdoors!
