Well, today is the first day back to school. It was soooo nice to have a full two weeks off, I hate it when they make us go back on Thursday or Friday.

I decided that it would be a good idea to refresh the kid's minds on rules in the library. After our monthly meeting/sharing I took a great idea and created a Concentration game. I created 26 cards with magnets on the back. I put them up on the white board, divide the kids into boys vs girls teams and then we play. I am always nervous about trying something new because you never know how it will go.

So far, so good. The kids are enjoying it. The only thing is that they are yelling as they tell me to turn over the cards that say stuff like "Use your whisper voice" :-) Oh well.

Well, we had a great holiday season. It was great to have Grandpa and Grandma Tedrow with us for a few days before Christmas. We had a great time, and ate reaallllly well.

The Fullmers came the weekend after and that was fun too. Then, the awesome girls from the library came over for New Year's Eve. It was so fun to see them and spend some time eating, playing dominoes, and watching a movie. I can't we go back to school on Monday. Ugh!
