Last Day

Today was the last day of school before the Christmas break and for Alison that meant it was time for her class Christmas party. My holidays for work were the 23rd and 24th, so since I was off Alison wanted me to come to her school with Kris. Kris, as co-room parent, was helping run the party, so I figured I would go since I didn't have anything else to do. Besides, Ali asked me to come along.

Boy, talk about some controlled chaos! There were two activities the kids were doing. Making ornaments out of some jingle bells and pipe cleaners, and decorating Christmas cookies. Once they were done with that they played a game, and did some fun puzzles. But I realize that I could never have been an elementary school teacher!

Happy Valentines Day

What a busy weekend. I have been getting ready for an upcoming customer audit and I was planning on going in to work Saturday and Sunday. One thing... I forgot that Kris was working as well, so that meant I had to stay home with the girls.

Sarah was at a friend's working on a dance routine for the upcoming talent show on Tuesday night. And Alison had a birthday party to go to Saturday morning. She actually slept over at a friend's Friday night and then they went to the party together (it was at the WI Humane Society). Well we all know what happens at sleepovers, up late and waking up early. I had to pick up her and her friend at noon from their party and they both fell asleep in the car on the drive back home. Then While I was working on the Riverside Yearbook stuff, she decided to crawl up on Kris's lap and fell asleep.



I stopped at work on the way to pick up Alison, so I could at least have some things to work on at home, but I got all of about a half an hour to do stuff. By the time I was free to do anything, it was 11:00 p.m. and I was just too wiped out to do any work. Hopefully I can get some things done this week at work.

Sarah also gave the family a Valentine's gift that she worked on in scouts. She earned some kind of cooking badge for doing it. She made chocolate suckers. I'm not quite sure how they are made other than melting chocolate and then pouring it into molds to cool, but here is the gift we got. YUM!
