Valentines Day

We had a really nice Valentines Day. In the morning Jason and I exchanged gifts. I got him an i-tunes gift card and he got me candles and a gift certificate from my favorite place, Real Deals. Then, we had the Richardson's over for a special dinner. I had never made lasagna before, but it turned out really yummy (thanks to a neighbor's recipe). I made a layered chocolate dessert and then we played card and board games late into the evening hours. Thanks for the fun Danny, Jessica, Destiny, and Jacob! We love you guys!!

This Week

The last two days of school have been really fun for the kids and adults. Thursday was the 100th day of school and yesterday we had Valentine Parties with PJ day. Jason and Austin both got haircuts on the same day so they did a normal pose and then did their "G.Q." poses together.

Katie (former student) has got to be one of my favorite students ever. She always remembers me on Valentines day with a pound of dark Dove chocolate!
I love my job, but it is even more special when my students' parents become good friends. I love Jessica and Cheryl. I look forward to them coming in weekly, and their friendships have truly touched my heart. I love you two!!

My dad is part of the 5th grade band at his school learning to play the clarinet. He was having some trouble so I gave him some pointers.....it was really fun. It is taking him a while to catch on because he isn't always able to daily be in the band class with his students. I realized how much I miss playing! I told him I was repaying him for all the times he stayed up late with me during junior high helping with Algebra, due to being stuck with a horrible math teacher.
