a fun surprise

I am going on a scrapbooking retreat with some of my good friends this weekend (yay!) and I'm getting the photos I want to scrapbook ready. My son's first grade teacher made photo cd's for the parents at the end of the school year and I've not looked at it yet... I thought I'd take a peek and see if there were any good shots of my son. Oh my word, there were the BEST photos in there, I can't believe it! I'm so excited, these will be such great first-grade memories to scrapbook for him. Here are a few of my favorites...

This is Ethan reading a book wearing his Dr. Seuss hat. He looks so serious yet he's wearing this huge paper hat, it cracks me up!




This is another one that cracks me up... that look on his face matches the spider he just made, ha ha. I've seen that face many times before. That's his "Whoa!" face.




These two photos were taken on a school field trip... he is studying nature. Aren't they great?! This is going to be a GREAT scrapbook page.






Here's a photo of me and Ethan at the Mother's Day Tea. That's my "bee pot" on the desk he made me.



Thank heaven for great school teachers who do these things for us parents. What a gift!

The September scrapbooking kit I'm getting from Hip 2B Square has a bunch of really great school-themed papers I can use with these photos. I'll be playing with it this weekend! You can see it HERE. I'll of course share my layouts with you later!
