Lyndee turns SEvEn

Yes, the last day of the year is a special day. Lyndee's birthday!! We didn't have a birthday party yet for her since the holidays were very hectic. Hopefully, we can do something for her in the next couple of weeks. She informed me that she wanted to either have a hello kitty party or an earring party..Not sure what she meant by that but I think we will go with that theme and invite a couple girls from her class over. Can't wait.. She was happy as a clam on her birthday. 
For breakfast, we had french toast and eggs. We had her open her presents from us then. Just us family. For her birthday, she received  some cool jammies that match her doll, an earring holder cuz she has received alot since getting her ears pierced, a cute purse, and of course from Grandma, a birthday Barbie.



After spending the day together, we had her auntie, uncle, and cousin come over for her faves dinner: chicken nuggets and mac n cheese. I was able to talk her out of top ramen for the sake of everyone.
She wanted a chocolate cake with white frosting. I thought I would do polka dots but they looked like buttons. Doesn't matter. it was yummy anyways...


Here is her matching outfit with her doll. And our dog,Merlin. He likes to be in all the pictures because he follows me EveryWhere! 
Before the guests arrived, we coached her on how to blow out the candles. She was able to get a few breaths in and blow out all the candles.
Since her birthday is on New Year's Eve, we let the kids stay up to ring in the new year. When it was close to midnight, we put our robes on and lit some fireworks.

Clayton lit the fireworks. We stood and watched.  Then the kids did some party poppers. Birds will be happy because we gave them some paper to make nests. 
I have never been able to take pictures of fireworks. But hey..here it is. 
Happy 2012~~

Busy week

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

Image
On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
