Happy Birthday to Mrs. Mag...

Blake and I just finished making lemon-lime bars for his teacher. They had to be made BY TOMORROW because it is his last day in class with his awesome teacher Mrs. Mag. Yesterday we found out that the 5th grade at Blake's school has too many students, so a new class was going to be added (after 4 weeks of school). Blake was "randomly" chosen to move to the new classroom/teacher along with a few other kids from his class. (That story is another blog entry).

This is about Blake coming home today and as we were running out the door for Gavin's football game, Blake asked if he could make his teacher some lemon-lime bars for tomorrow. He found out that her birthday is Sunday and he really wanted to make her something special. I guess today the class was discussing the room/teacher changes and Mrs. Mag wanted to do a special treat as kind of a "goodbye" to the kids leaving her. During the discussion Blake mentioned that he would be happy to make something. He picked up on the fact that Mrs. Mag loves lemon bars... so he was on a mission. He would surprise her and take them in for her birthday.

Blake informed the family at dinner that though he was making these lemon bars, they were for his teacher and no one else was to eat them. Then, in the midst of his preparation, he turned to me and said, "You are the only one who may taste them. I want you to test them out! I want them to be perfect for Mrs. Mag!"

Well, the taster says they are PERFECT! She is going to miss out on an amazing young man this year...
