Book Character Party

Every March is book month for the elementary students. One of the events is a party where everyone gets to dress up from a character in a book. It's always fun to see how creative some of the kids and teachers get!! We all get together and everyone gets to share who they are and then the judges choose who the top #5 winners are. I got to be a judge this year and it was not easy picking the best ones! After the prizes are passed out, we all go to our lunch room and eat cake (or this year cupcakes) that have been decorated according to the theme of the party. This year the theme was non-fiction, so we had "dirt"+worm cupcakes with edible grass and bug cupcakes. We, teachers, had fun decorating them the night before.

  1. The edible (notice the spelling!) ;o) cupcakes look yummy! Great costumes ... I'm so "out of the loop" that I would have a hard time figuring everyone out! I'm sure it was HARD to choose!!

10 Months

Baby Z is ten months today.  She's moving into toddlerhood and out of babyness...boo hoo....She's starting to have her own little will and get angry when things don't go her way.  She's realized she can make us laugh.  She loves watching little kids and squeals with delight.  Stroller rides are a favorite and also nice for a little snooze at times.  Cheerios are another favorite {she's a great eater, just not a good drinker}.  Sleeping through the night is almost an everyday occurrence {PTL!}!  Her sleeping postions are always quite amusing...you never know how you will find her.  She's incredibly curious and loves getting into things {empty boxes, laundry baskets, bags, etc is highly entertaining}.  If a cellphone or computer are somewhere near her, she doesn't waste any time getting to them.  She has so much energy.  Naps are kept short, often a half hour, if I'm lucky an hour.  I'm so thankful for this sweet, little, energy bundle.  I look forwa

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't
