You know the one, from the family member that thinks it's wonderful and you're like "uhh... what?!  Pah-leeease tell me this is a white elephant exchange and I didn't get the memo?!"

You know you should smile and say thank you and be grateful and appreciative...but com'mon! Even THIS may be asking more than what even HE is capable of...

Cool Kiddie Crafts

As most of you know, I am a preschool teacher. I (and my co-teacher) teach a class of 3 yr old chir'rens on Monday and Wednesday and I (and another co-teacher) teach a class of 4 yr olds on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. We are ALWAYS in search of new, fun, exciting, crafty things to do with our class! They  It can be a challenge at times! ;) I have found soo many wonderful ideas thru Pinterest!! {Btw, If you're not a member... you really should be! You can find everything under the sun there! Literally!}
Anywho... I thought I'd show you just a few of my fave's for this time of year!  I only WISH I would've had these examples or ideas when my girlies were little!! OMGSH!  Every frame in my house would have adorned little hand prints, foot prints and art work..... and I would've saved more milk jugs!!  ;-)
