Paige came home from school today with a big envelope full of notes and pictures. I often send in crafts for her class to do - at Christmas, each child in her class had a Christmas ornament or gift to take home for their Mom and Dad, and this week, they did Easter crafts.
The envelope contained thank-you's from all of the kids in her class, and I want to share them. Most of them have drawings on them, but many are in pencil, and have the kids' last names on them, so I'm not going to scan in.
Here they are, misspellings and all!
(The kids call either call me by my last name - "Mrs. L...." , or many of them still call me "Mrs. P" - something they adopted in kindergarten, because, well, I belong to Paige, lol.
"Mrs. L, Thank you for the crafts that you bought for us. There wonderful and my parents love them. I enjoy spending time with Paige. She is so nice and smart. Paige is wonderful!"
--Sincerely, Taylor
"Dear Mrs. P, Thank you for all the Easter and Christmas crafts! I appreciate it! I like to make crafts with Paige. Paige is a very nice girl, and you are a very nice girl too. Have a magical Easter." -- Sincerely, Shiara
"Dear Mrs. L - Thank you for letting us make crafts and for buying them. It was really king of you. I love spending time with Paige when I cook with her. May God bless you with all the love you give to us." - Sincerely, Pamela (Note, on this note, there is a little "tally" in the top corner, that says, "God loves you" and it has 6 little stroke marks, lol...)

That is so sweet! :)
Betsy, I didn't read this post, I just wanted to contact you. I've spent the past 30 minutes reading about your tribute to your Dad and followed the links from those posts. I found you from Billy Mac's "critique my blog" site.
My father just passed away October 31, 2006 from cancer. He really began to decline quickly last July and then he was gone. I have a puddle of tears on my desk in front of my keyboard, reading what you've written, and recounting the experience with my own Dad.
I hope you'll stop by and visit me and you can read in the archives about my own father's passing. I feel we have much in common.
Betsy, reading those just melted my heart. Love it love it love it. And you are so awesome for sending all the crafts to school for the kids.
A Very Wonderful surprise.....those are the very special moments in life.......and I know I treasure those 'notes' as much as you do.
Miss Paige...you really do rock!!!!
Darling notes Betsy - love them!!! I'm glad Paige has so many loving classmates too - how wonderful is that :)
Paige is a very nice girl, and you are a very nice girl too. Have a magical Easter.
I don't know if it's just fabulous, or it's PMS. Either way, this made me tear up.
THANK YOU for sharing all of it.
