First Day of School Eve

We spent this evening making cupcakes for the teachers gift baskets.


I think the kids really enjoyed it.


They enjoyed this even more!!


I think they turned out pretty cute!



 The kids picked out the items for the gift baskets (all under a dollar) and I found some cute baskets for $1.99 (cheaper than most gift bags).  Sticky notes, desk organizer(with clips, rubber bands, paper clips, push pins, and a built in pencil holder, yummy smelling chapstick, and Lindor chocolates!  Total cost about $6.  The cupcakes and other cute ideas can be found at familyfun.com.

What a cute idea. Do they give the baskets to their teacher on the first day of school? Those cupcakes look awesome. They look like they came straight out of a magazine.

Cute idea. We've got one more week here. I don't think my boys are very happy about that. Have fun!

What a good idea! Our teachers send home wish lists on back to school night so that takes the thinking away from me...HOORAY!I can't believe it is time for school already! We have one more week to party...then it's school time for us! Hope the kids have a great school year!
