My sweet girls.....

This week at school Jack is the "Celebrity of the Week" - every kid gets it in his class, you get special things all week. Monday = Bring something special to share with the class, Tues= bring your favorite book to share, Wed=parents write a letter to the child telling them how special they are, Thurs=special lunch with child and Fri=the class makes a special poster for the child with their picture and all.

So, tomorrow is the letter one. I wrote a letter to Jack and Don wrote one too. Then I thought - I'm going to ask the girls to write a letter too. You send it to school in a sealed envelope and the teacher reads them out loud to the class - so Jack won't have any idea that Elle and Macy wrote a letter to him also.

I told the girls about it and they were more than happy to write their letters to their big brother. So, instead of sitting there spelling out each word for both girls, I had them dictate a letter to me, I typed it, printed it out and gave it to them to write on a card they made him. It was a good idea and saved a TON of time! And they LOVED doing it! It was so sweet watching them work so hard on their little letters, I just HAD to take pictures! And now I just HAVE to share them with you all! :))
