Fun!

Cookie has been living in the garage this winter, but sometimes we bring him into the kitchen for a quick visit.  Pickles doesn't know what to think! 

I wanted to run over to Casey, IL to a plant shop.  We asked Jed to join us, but he declined and stayed home with Kyle.  It was another girls day.  We went to the Casey Coffee Company, the plant shop.  I'm beginning to notice how important and special these little times away with Evangeline are to her.  She is starting to really seem like a young lady lately.  It's fun to do "grown up" things with her like visit coffee shops and going plant shopping.  We have matching backpack purses which makes me happy.  She spent her own money to buy one like mine.  Hers is pink.  Mine is orange.

Here are the two plants I came home with....

She opted for the stuffed variety....

There's just seriously nothing cuter than Cub Scout Jed.  Here he is with a tiger he made at one of his meetings....

And all of the badges he's earned on his belt....

Jed's teacher comes into my classroom on occasion to show me some Jed's work when she especially proud of something he's done.  Lately his sentence construction has been really growing.....here is a writing she recently shared with me...."I saw a snowman and it's melted!"  I LOVE his illustration of all teh snowman pieces left on the ground with the sun shining brightly above.

School Holiday Fun

South School is a really exciting place around the holidays!  We had different dress up days all the week leading up to Christmas break.  Here we are on holiday accessory day!  One day the week leading up to break, our principal, Mrs. Morgan found me in the hallway and told me I needed to drop everything and report to the office.  When I got there I found the rest of the 1st grade teachers there too!  She told us she was taking us on a little getaway.  We boarded the school's short bus where Christmas music was blaring and were driven to McDonalds to get whatever drink we wanted.  While we were gone she had aides covering our classrooms.  It was such a fun surprise.  She told us how much she appreciates all we have done during this super challenging school year, and this was just a little something special.  Evangeline participated in the locker decorating contest.  She had such fun bringing her supplies and getting it done during h...

Cozy at Home

Snow day painting...dreaming of all the flowers in my garden....I have a bunch of old frames so I'm putting a collage of my painted flowers in my bathroom.  It's a cheery touch.  I pulled out some of my old cozy knits I did years ago.  Evangeline loved them!  Pickles did too.  Jed had to join in the fun sporting a toddler sweater...I'm glad they both appreciate those kinds of things...

Down Time

Evangeline was chomping at the bit to use some of her money to go buy a case for her new phone.  We went to TH to look around and then made a stop at Starbucks.  Evangeline felt like a big kid.  We had a fun girls outing.  She wanted to sit inside Starbucks and cuddle on a couch drinking our beverages together.  It was a special moment for me too.  This girl is growing up into such a delightful young lady.   We tried real hard to give our money to an actual shop to purchase the case, but no one had anything that would work.  We ended up resorting to Amazon.  She was really pleased when her sparkly pink case with a heart shaped pop socket arrived in the mail.  The rest of the week was spent lounging around doing all the things we love to do at home.  My nephew's, Cale and Liam came for a sleepover.  We all had so much fun with them!  Jed was of course in his happy place with Cale there to play with.  Evangeline an...
