backyard party

Rob & I hosted a backyard party yesterday for my coworkers. We wanted to do something fun for everyone after the long, hard year it's been. I think everyone had fun! I prayed for good weather, and God blessed that. The party was from 12-3, and the storm clouds rolled in at 3PM just as everyone was leaving.

lots of talking :)

Momma, this is Mary, one of our ESL teachers (the one who teaches my kids & one of my favorite people at our school!!!) Mary's little one loved our dog; he crawled all around the yard following Samson. It was so sweet!

We turned on the sprinkler for the kids.

Some of the kids found a ball and played basketball on our driveway.

It was a good day!

almost there

i am so tired and have so much i want to record for myself and things i want to share... but for tonight i have one more dvd to burn for my students tomorrow and i must get to bed. it has been two or three weeks of not enough sleep and i'm exhausted.

earlier in this rough school year i didn't think i would make it, but God has helped, a change in the staffing in my room was made in February and here i am- the night before the last day.

tomorrow will be "poofing" day in my classroom. i need a godo night's rest to poof all the kids out of my room and onto their new adventure next year!

happy thursday all!!!
