And Liesl loves her job?

Here is the e-mail Liesl sent me earlier today. Kind of funny.-Jayme

OMG! In the 20 minutes since we have been back from the movie, I have had one kid get in a fight, one kid fall down the stairs, and one kid poop his pants! Heck yes, I need a vacation!!!

It has happened

I have officially turned into a teacher. I am sitting here today wearing two gigantic christmas pins on my sweater. One actually lights up and blinks! I am also wearing Santa Claus earrings. It is hard to say no when my students bring me a present and want me to put it on RIGHT NOW. I guess I should break out the christmas cardigans and turtle necks! If my friends could see me now!!

Fishing

Jayme had a great day fishing yesterday. He is quite the fisherman, if I must say so myself!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Holli!!!!

What happened?

Cruz has always been a very good boy. He has always been perfect at school and almost perfect at home. He has never been much of a talker and very content to just play alone. I have been thinking that soon he will be coming out of his shell. Well, I think he has. Yesterday, he got in trouble for talking at school, and he even had to get moved away from his friends because he wouldn't stop talking! Can you believe it??? This morning I couldn't get him out of bed and he even talked back to both me and Jayme. Where did my baby go?

Sugar Bowl

We are going to the Sugar Bowl! New Orleans, here we come!!!!

Overheard Conversation

This is a conversation I overheard in my classroom today:
Girl: Why do you want to go out with me again?
Boy: Because I do.
Girl: I don't think you really want to. Do you know I am a gangster and a belly dancer?
That is what I am dealing with!!!

Thankful

I know Thanksgiving is over, but I do have a lot to be thankful for. I am so thankful for my family and friends. We have been reminded lately that life is short and to live each day to the fullest. I am so lucky to have everything I have, even though I still complain. But how can I complain, when I have such a good looking son????
