This week...

Lots of fun Christmas activities happening at school this week. So, as a result, I spent quite a bit of time up there helping in various classes with various crafts.

Tuesday we helped 22 little five year olds (including Tag) make evergreen centerpieces that really would be the glowing center of any table, complete with plastic snowflakes and faux poinsettia blooms hot glue-gunned on. I burnt my finger on the glue gun and my friend Julie (another kindergarten Mom) clipped her finger with the pruners but other than that it was successful.

Wednesday we made gingerbread houses in Reagan's class. Hers was the prettiest. I'm quite sure that none of her classmates read this blog so I can say that. :)
Thursday was school wide craft day. I floated from class to class helping with a variety of tasks: threading beads onto pipe cleaners, gluing pompoms onto Santa hats, squirting glitter glue onto snowmen, and, unfortunately, hot-gluing ribbon onto ornaments (yes, another burn to the finger). We had a lovely collection come home to add to our tree.

Today, we are officially on Christmas vacation. Cheers to two weeks of no school lunches to pack.

Of course Reagan's is the prettiest - she has had years of experience in decorating gingerbread houses!!!

Thanks Leni. I cut it the next day. Too much to blowdry. I can never make up my mind anyway, how I want it so I just keep changing it.

Faith looks like Reagan right now, missing that exact tooth and still wearing many of your beautiful hand-me-downs.
