Spring REWIND: Mrs. Shaw's Shower

We hosted a baby shower for Mrs. Shaw (Abby's teacher) around Abby's birthday. She is due in the fall, but the kids really wanted to wish her well. So, a group of parents coordinated breakfast and LOTS of presents ... as well as cake (which they ate later that day) to let Mrs. Shaw know we are excited for she and her husband! A couple months back (while preparing pottery pieces for the Roberts' Silent Auction), mom and I had the kids put their names and thumbprints on a cookie jar for Mrs. Shaw. We figured, what kind of mom doesn't have a cookie jar (oops! I don't!) so we wanted to get her started off on the right foot. She loved it! The chocolate chips on the cookies were each child's fingerprints, and the top said "Thanks for making us SMART COOKIES!"
