Sweet Caroline, a few projects and a few “monkeys”!

This weekend, Cal was STILL under the weather on Friday night. He has been fighting this bug for 5 days and finally had solid food this weekend! YAY! I went over to one of my student's (from last year) house on Saturday morning and did her hair for her jazz pictures. It made me want a little girl now when God has planned. I will do my little girl's hair like it is my job! J Here are a few pictures of sweet Caroline! She is just way too precious! I also did a few projects this weekend: I learned how to etch glass and I followed these directions. I made a few wedding gifts and a birthday gift. THEN…a few "monkeys" of my good friends came over to Bham to see "Wicked". I met up with them at Babies R Us to do a little shopping for her sister's baby that is on the way. I always hate love going to Babies R Us… Then we went to eat Mexican! Yum yum! Here are a few pictures of monkeys Laura, Leigh Anne and myself outside of the restaurant! As you can tell…the term "monkeys" is a endearing term we use for ourselves…and a few inside jokes hidden in there as well…. There are about 8 "monkeys" in all…ha

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! Did you do anything fun this weekend? Do you have a nickname for your group of friends? I would love to hear about it!!!

Please PRAY! --- (and Larry the Leprechaun!)

Well guys...it's Monday, and I usually participate in "NOT ME Monday" from this blog:

Here is the link for "Not Me" Monday (go check it out):

BUT- today I will not be doing the "not me's"- instead I will be on my knees praying for Stellan:

He is in the ER right now with heart problems and desperately needs our prayers. Get on your knees!

Onto a much lighter note: LARRY THE LEPRECHAUN came to visit our classroom while we were gone on spring break.... OH MY GOODNESS! He made a terrible mess, lost his shoe, and even left us a note and a picture of himself. Check out some of the pictures from this morning when the kids walked in the find the mess that LARRY THE LEPRECHAUN left for them over the break- it was WAY too funny!!!

VERY serious!clean up the leprechaun's mess and find that shoe!!!! Here is one of the letters that the kids left "Larry" to let him know where to find the lost shoe when he comes back tonight.

Translation:

"We found your shoe and do not leave a mess again OK. It is on top of the hampster's cage. Love, Capra"

Gotta Love em'----kids are way too much fun to work with AND get paid for it! LOVE my job!

Feeling Fancy!!!

Just a little something to brighten your day:

Today is "Dress like your favorite book character day" at school. I'm sure most of you have heard of the children's book "Fancy Nancy"- if you haven't- well- Nancy is just plain fancy! I have a little girl in my class that could seriously BE the character of fancy Nancy- she is just that- she is FANCY! haha!

Well- she is FANCY Nancy today- and Oh what a sight! SO CUTE!~

Here are some of the other book characters that graced our school with their presence today! So much fun!!!

I have prepared and taken pics of several different meals this week- but have yet to actually upload the pics and I left my camera at home today. ugh! I promise I will get to it this weekend after the family leaves- I have some really yummy recipes to share! We have had a crazy busy week! Every night there has been something going on in our world. We had math night at school last night and Cal was on call. I didn't get home until 7:30 and then prepared meals for my mother-in-law and grandmother for tonight. I was busy busy yesterday.

On to another topic:

My student teacher is a photographer and took some priceless pictures of our Valentine party two weeks ago. She gave me the disc yesterday and I had chills! I have GOT to get one of these cameras!!! I just had to share a few with you that had children in them with a media release. They are just so beautiful!
