On Friday, we had the Jingle Bell run (school marathon for diabetes), Thomas's Pecos Bill play, both of their class parties, and then we went to Willow Bend mall to pick up my new computer and see Santa. Oh...and when we got home, I still had to pack to leave for a week!
Thomas was the narrator in his class's Pecos Bill play. He had a ton of lines and had memorized every single one of them. I was so proud of him! Afterward, his teacher, Mrs. Samples, said that he had chosen that part, and she was so proud of how hard he had worked. The kids were so cute and all knew their parts perfectly. I am always so amazed at how those elementary teachers get them all so organized and all focused on the task at hand. Try as I may, not even when I clap, snap, sing the rhymes or whatever do they EVER do that for me! I even had to get Mrs. Phillips to lead the book exchange at the second grade holiday party. Clearly, God knew what he was doing when he led me to teach high school!
While we were at Willow Bend we decided to pay Santa a visit. It was wonderful! The whole thing was Polar Express and while we waited the kids watched the movie, looked at life sized snow globes and pulled the train whistle. Just before we saw Santa we were in a HUGE snow globe where it snowed on us. The kids were all beside themselves excited and loved playing in the "snow!"
Blessings,
Leslie
