2nd Anniversary

Tomorrow is the last day of school before break, officially ending at 11:30 AM. We will be headed for Illinois as soon as we can load up. We'll spend the weekend there and Christmas afternoon we'll head to my mom's. Here are a couple of early posts that I wanted to be sure and get in.

Whew! I Can Breathe Easier Now...

Now, if I could just literally breathe. I've been fighting sickness since Friday night. I'm feeling much better today, finally. Yesterday, was a pretty quiet day at school. I'm sure the kids didn't mind.
The Christmas program is over! Hallelujah! Let's just say...ummm...I don't think anyone from Broadway will be calling any of us to a new career anytime soon. Check out Karen's blog for further details. It was...interesting. I do know that one of my 1st graders keeps talking about it at school, so if nothing else, we impressed a 6 yr old! I had someone take pictures, but they were too dark and you can't see anything. I did get a picture of me and my "husband" arguing and my very beautiful outfit!!! I particularly like the shininess, crease, and how it's falling back on my head. The bun was very heavy!
Well, I must get back to wrapping presents. Wes is out finishing his Christmas shopping, so I'm trying to hurry and get it done.
Hope everyone is getting all their Christmas preparations done. After I finish my wrapping, I'm finished!! Well, I guess we have to buy a couple of gift cards, but we're waiting to get them in Illinois. Don't get too busy to enjoy the season!!!

Thomas Christmas

Well, today wasn't as busy as we thought it was going to be. Our Sunday School progressive dinner was cancelled due to some bad weather that's supposed to be coming. So, we made our way to BeechGrove to have Christmas with Mom's side of the family. There was a huge pile of presents and by the time we all got there, we filled Aunt Rachel's basement up. We really enjoyed the day and got lots of goodies!!! The kids all had fun in the snow and even made a snowman. I couldn't go out and play since I'm getting sick at a really bad time. :( (See previous post).

The Cousins

The Blue Bathrobe Bandits

The Finished "Artwork"

I was just wondering...

Is it important to be able to talk when you have to be in a play?

(I'm losing my voice & I never do this...maybe it'll be clear by tomorrow. It's pretty squeaky and nonexistent right now)

Well, I'm off to get a few things done! It's going to be a busy, busy day!!!

Shhh...

Don't tell my students, but their teacher has already left for Christmas break! The kids aren't the only ones longing for it to get here.

This weekend is going to be BUSY!!!! UBC's Christmas program is going on (still not sure if we're going to that), Saturday is Christmas with my Mom's side, then rush back home to our Sunday School progressive dinner, & Sunday is both programs. I AM NOT looking forward to this!!! I would, if I only had to watch, but NOOOOO I have to be an old nag! Not that I don't know how to nag, (she confessed honestly), but being in front of people is like a HUGE NIGHTMARE for me!!! So, if there's a big pause in the play, never fear...it's just Jenny trying to think of what her part is! Oh, and if you hear a knocking noise, it's not the person at the door...it's Jenny's knees! Aaaannnnd, (she drawled out very emphatically), I'm going to be sweating bullets b/c I get to wear a granny wig! So, the big thud you hear is Jenny falling over from the stress and heat. Seems like kinda a neat effect, huh?!?!? All I gotta say is...PRAY, PEOPLE, PRAY!
