Logan came home today and told me, “mommy…you have an invisible bucket over your head. When it’s full, you’re happy and when it’s empty, you’re sad”. Turns out they read a story in school today about treating others nicely and how your actions either empty someone else’s bucket or add to it. (it’s called “How Full is your Bucket”). We were actually in a hurry after school because Logan takes a guitar class at the YMCA on Thursdays with Miss Kati and one other student, a cute little girl named Peyton. He was eating a quick snack before leaving when he announced, “mommy…I want to put a drop in the bucket of Miss Kati and Petyon”. He then proceeded to gather pennies from his piggy bank into two zip lock bags. I explained that, while money is nice, they might like something like a hand-made card a little better. I have TONS of blank cards around so I told him to grab his colored pencils and do a drawing for each of them while I went to see what I could cut on my cricut (any excuse I tell you!) We literally had 10 minutes to do these, but I couldn’t let a sweet thought go un-realized!

I quick found a guitar and some musical notes, cut those, then cut an oval for the background, grabbed my glue stick and did the fronts of the cards as Logan did the insides. He hid them in his guitar case and gave them to Miss Kati and Peyton during class. Miss Kati was so cute – she absolutely loved her card and couldn’t get over the cute “Logan and Peyton holding hands” one that he made for his classmate.

The outside of each card:

This says “Gtar clas rokcs” = Guitar Class Rocks. This was Miss Kati’s. The picture is of Logan, Peyton and Miss Kati with her guitar case.

The inside of Peyton’s card: “I like Paitin” <--- which is exactly how he pronounces her name! “pay TIN”

Frum! too cute!
