Happy Father's Day!

“The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother” – Theodore Hesburgh 

Hey Kid, you're awesome!

I was looking for something to bring to my son's 5th grade award ceremony in lieu of flowers (what boy wants flowers?) or balloons (dude, he's 11 not 5). I came across the candy bucket idea on pinterest and combined a few ideas and sayings to come up with this mega candy bucket (what 11 year old would not want this?). He (and all his friends) LOVED it. He won first place in the highest award given, The Engle award, for highest cumulative grade point average from 4K thru 5th grade. (Proud Mom moment) It was important to make sure he knew it was a big deal and this was just a little way for us to say

  "Hey kid, you're awesome!" 

Look at you, SMARTIE pants! You went the EXTRA mile. You SKORed high on tests and reached the PAYDAY of graduation. Don’t listen to SNICKERS, that you are a DUM DUM or NERD, because you are one HOT TAMALE in this MILKY WAY, on his way to making 100 GRAND. Don’t be an AIRHEAD, be sure to TAKE 5 every NOW & LATER when your WHATCHAMACALLIT is not working properly. It is sure to be a LIFESAVER. Hope your FAST BREAK of summer is MOUNDS of fun. Have a WHOPPER of a good time!

Lots of HUGS and KISSES,

Mom, Dad and Brighton
