ROLLIN' INTO CHRISTMAS BREAK

Holy Christmas carols people . . . what a week. WHAT A WEEK!  I know all you alls out there can relate :)  Sorry I have been so MIA.  These past 5 days have been an absolute whirlwind, but we had an absolute blast I tell ya.  

Our last day was Friday (a full day mind you) and I thought the babes would be off the chain, but was I ever wrong.  In all actuality, it was one of my TOP 3 DAYS as a teacher.  Yup.  It was absolutely magical.  

Why was it so magical you ask??  Well . . . it SNOWED as the kids were walking to class.  We never get the white stuff here and although it didn't mound up outside, it did stick some and it snowed off and on for over an hour. 

After this fabulous start (on PJ/Polar Express Day mind you), we finished a word search in teams and rolled into a fun little art project.  Then we broke out the paint!  Both of these winter ditties will be blogged about later this week!

After lunch, we started the Polar Express on the BIG SCREEN (thank you projector), decorated sugar cookies, and drank hot cocoa!!!

You lookin' at the BEST Mommy Helpers around.
I couldn't have asked to share this day with a better crew.
They even wore their jammers :)
 Thanks ladies . . . from the bottom of my heart!

As you can see, it was a day to remember my friends!  But it ain't over yet. How did this magical day end for little old me do you ask?  Uh . . . well, I puked my guts out for the rest of the night and into the next day :)  Merry Stomach Flu!  I wouldn't have traded my day for nothin' though . . . vomit or no vomit this one chalks up super high on the list :)

I had this sweet girl to keep me company.
The hubs ditched me for the spare room, but this doll wouldn't leave my side.

I'll see you very soon with a handful of fun winter projects, packets, and freebies.  Oh . . . and January Good Morning Work will be out this week. Working on it NOW :) Merry Christmas my dear friends.
