School

I volunteer at my kids' school one day each week.  I spend the morning in Mirra's kindergarten class and the afternoon with Drew's third grade class.  I always get a hug or two and get to hear some witty remarks.  At third grade lunch when "Tag.  No tag backs," came around to me I told them that I am immune to tag because I have a no-tag force field around me.  When one of the boys tried to use my line, Drew said "I can use my super breath to blow your force field away."  I love that boy and his friends!

 This year the school got this big, shiny, new printer.  The problem is that in four weeks I have yet to see it actually work properly.  I walked in last week and this sign was taped to it.  Hilarious!

Drew's teacher asked me to do some copies today but said the paper would not run through the big printer.  I told her that I don't play with Bob Marley anyway.

This is my first bulletin board of the year.  To be clear, I did not make the map of the U.S.  But, this was a fun project and I can't wait to see all the Flat Stanleys come back and hang out on the wall.

In case I don't say it enough, I LOVE my children's teachers!  Their dedication to these kids inspires me every time I see them.  They communicate with me all the time and I am a real pain in the butt.   I just love knowing that my kids are in good hands even when they are not in mine.

Last Year of Single Digits

Drew had a Cars 2 pool party for his birthday.  

He had several friends at Aunt Anita's community pool. 

Gluten free pepperoni pizza at Monical's.  Then we spent the rainy day at the nearby indoor inflatable playground with Uncle Terry.  The kids had a great time jumping and playing basketball. 

Birthday ice cream.  M&M blizzard with chocolate ice cream for Drew and Marshmallow sundae with chocolate ice cream for Mirra.  They maybe got a gene from me after all with all that chocolate.

Andy and I got Drew a pitchback, Cardinals shirt and baseballs.  Here is Drew playing with his pitchback.  Drew also got a pitching machine and Cardinals shirts from Grammy and Papa.  He got several LEGO sets that he is determined to complete.  He even bought LEGOS with his gift certificates and birthday money.
