That's right; the final bell has rung! School's out! I was probably the only teacher not counting down the days 'til break. Truth be told, I love my job, my kids, my staff, my school, shall I go on? And I miss them when away! I woke up at 3:30 am Thursday morning and 4 am Friday because I was so excited to get to school and hang out with my 5th graders. Call me crazy! Don't get me wrong though, if two weeks of vacation come walking by, I'll snatch those bad boys up like money lying in the gutter. And so I have, consider my vacation time snatched. We've already had a very successful 12 hours. We hung out with both families last night, stayed up late and giggled at each other for hours, and currently, are sleeping in. Well, one of us is at least. I was too excited to get this party started!
Yesterday was a pretty amazing and crazy day! We had our Christmas party first thing. Peter came in to play. They couldn't wait for me to open my presents (btw, sooo generous!) Then we started our gift exchange. Soon after, Elizabeth, Rachel and Mr. Harp came in for a visit. My kids were inthralled. Elizabeth makes a great teacher! The other 5th grade class couldn't stand to be left out so they came over too. All my kids were on the floor in a circle with Elizabeth in the middle, rotating the harp periodically so all could see. Then we had recess, watched Sign of the Beaver, had lunch and went home! Whew! What a whirlwind!
As for today, how 'bout a boat parade and some Christmas lights down at Balboa? Bundle up!
