Valentine's Day

Where has the last 3 months gone?? I'm such a terrible blogger! I'm only slightly better at FB and Instagram - I at least try to post once a week.

We have just finished week 3 of our new school year here in Queensland. I have been absolutely exhausted each and every night I come home. If I have not responded to your email, it's not that I'm ignoring you, it's just that I was too tired to respond when I saw it and then it got lost in the email abyss. If you need me to respond please try sending it again, I am hoping to get caught up with lost emails this week. 

This week was Valentine's and thanks to my wonderful teacher friend Amanda, I had these super cute gifts to give to my class on Friday. 

We also made these cutie patootie Splat the Cat crafts after reading Love, Splat! They come from the adorable pack by Cara at The First Grade Parade. Seriously, everything she does is GOLD and she (and her family) are just so stinkin cute!

I just had to include this one too - notice he didn't copy his sentence correctly, glued the legs up near the face and the paws down the bottom. Poor little guy is finding grade 1 very hard but he always tries his best!

I have been thinking this a LOT the past 3 weeks....

I kinda forget every year how young and dependent they are!
