End of Year School Party (I know I am so behind!)

 Cupcakes we made for the party.
 Table all set up with a Hawaaian/beach theme.
 Cheese!
 Hawaiian princess.
 Platters we had made for the teachers and they also got a few gift cards.

 Me and my big girl.
 Hula hoop contest.
 Class picture - silly faces.
 Class pictures - smiles.
Gifts I got for being room mom from the teachers.  So cute and thoughtful! They made a flower bouquet out of the kids hand prints and gave me a basket with cookie mix and a cookbook.

I know I am way behind on blogging.  I am determined to get caught up since school is starting again on Monday.  

Samantha had her end of year class party on May 14, 2012.  We decided on a summer/beach/Hawaiian theme.  Samantha and I made beach cupcakes and bought leis for everyone. Another mom got hula hoops for everyone and the kids had a hula hoop contest.  The kids ate chicken, potatoes and fruit, had their cupcakes and then did the hula contest.  Afterwards, they all got a talking/interactive book.  I think they had fun!

On the last day of school, the teachers gave me a hand print bouquet and a gift basket for being room mom for the year.  It was so sweet and thoughtful.  Although I felt like I was bothering other moms at times, I really enjoyed being the room mom and getting to go to all of the school functions.  If you aren't the room mom, you only sign up to help with a few things.  As the room mom, you can participate in and help with everything.  I loved getting to see Samantha in her classroom and getting to know her friends and teachers, especially since it was her 1st year of school.  I couldn't sign up to be room mom again this year since I did it last year, so I guess I'll wait for Avery to start school next year and do it for her :) Although we met Samantha's new teacher today and no one had signed up to be room mom so maybe I will get to do it again :)  I guess we'll see :)
