Tripp's Wall

Since Tripp started PreK 3, I've learned what the mom's of my students have felt like over the years. He comes home with the cutest stuff every single day. I've had to start weaning out the "busy work" from the truly great things. I've begun a collection of the things that I have loved and I decided it was time to start doing something with them. I went through my house and found a ton of different frames. They are all random and don't really all go together (in fact, some of them were my grandmothers). I was able to fit about 6 of his things into these frames. Some of it will have to be custom framed because it is odd sizes. I framed it and hung it on the landing of our stairs going into our bonus room. It was a perfect place to display his things. Over the years, I will add to it, change it out, etc. Eventually, Makinley will have things up there too. Enjoy!

Here is a shot coming from our bonus room down the stairs. The two things on the farthest to the right are a birthday cake he made and then a questionaire that he had to fill in. Some of his answers are HILARIOUS, so I had to keep it!

My absolute favorite thing he has done so far! Isn't this beautiful?!?! (Sorry for the camera's flash on it!)

I just thought this was precious because he described his house and put his address on it. Oh, and the small thing on the bottoms is his first ever incentive chart from school. He was so excited when he filled it with stickers and was able to to get a treat from the treat box!
