Hilarious!

I came across the funniest website that I couldn't resist passing along.

makemebabies.com

you upload a picture of yourself and your significant other or you can choose a celebrity. If I knew how to post what my future children would look like I would. It was a huge riot and very entertaining. Dick is a quarter Lebanese and all our babies came out with towels on their heads!

Books

Now that summer is fast approaching (I didn't think I mentioned that yet) :) I have finally gotten on the ball and ordered a couple of books from amazon. I just love amazon..you can buy used books in great condition for less! I'm looking forward to reading a book or two on the beach this summer. Ahhh, I can hear the waves crashing now :)

Summer's so close...

I am so excited that school is almost out. In addition to tie dying shirts, extra recess, movie marathons and cleaning (cleaning, cleaning!!)...the awesome 4th grade teachers decided to rotate all the classes and come up with something fun to do in each of our rooms. In my room, the children made beaded bracelets and necklaces. Other teacher's rooms' included a dancing room, movie and popcorn, carnival games, coloring, painting, face painting and board games..WHEW!!!! It was exhausting!! We all agreed that next year we'd have to plan a little break and some down time spent outside!!

My sister and the kids came to town for a few days. I brought Jackson and Augusta to school with me and I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of them loving every second of it.

Also-- I felt bad leaving Ellie's picture out of this post. So I also attached a picture of Ellie, Jackson, and I at my dad's house the other night. Again, not anywhere related to this post but I just wanted to include her!!! If I'm teaching by the time she's Jackson and Augusta's age, (Lord help me), then she can come to school with me one day too!

EA Active for the Wii

Can you picture me doing that? hahaha! Well believe it or not, that's what I looked like last night...in addition to jogging in place, doing squats, lunges...oh man...this "game" is no joke. Dick and I ordered it and it's supposed to be similar to, but more intense than, Wii fit. It's like having a personal trainer in your home. I'm so sore!!

Tie Dye

Seeing as how the MCT is over and we still have another week of school, I decided to become brave and buy a tie dye kit. The kids loved it and I think it turned out great! It actually turned out to be easier than I expected because we started this on our award's day Tuesday. After Award's day, many of the children check out and therefore I only about about half the class left. It was much easier to tie dye shirts with 10 kids one day and finish the other half day!

ACE that Test!

Tomorrow (May 12th) begins MCT2 week! I cannot believe the time has come. Ready or not here we go!!!

The 4th grade teachers decided to pump up the kids and dress up. Among the many thoughts that I have late at night, being an "ace" was one of them. Here I am in the card costume with a sign saying "Ace the MCT!". The kids loved it! I kind of did too :)

Our Anniversary

I'm beside myself!!! Our 2-year anniversary isn't until July but we are planning a trip to NYC. Dick has never been. I love it! As cheesy as it sounds, I feel so alive in the Big Apple!! There's just so much to do and see. I guess if we don't get to do it all we will just have to go again! (darn!) Ha- I haven't even gone yet and I'm already suggested we will need two trips...getting WAY ahead of myself.

We want to go to a Yankee's game, and I've requested tickets to Letterman as well as Regis & Kelly. I am dying to see a broadway show. I've been told Wicked is a good one.

Any other suggestions? Restaurants?
