Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

I adore Easter! I just got back from our church service which ends with everyone singing the Hallelujah Chorus! What a wonderful day to celebrate what Christ did for us!

We are just about to head out to my parent's house for a Easter dinner and the annual Easter egg hunt. My mom spends hours getting hundreds of eggs ready for the hunt! I'll post pictures later...

He is not here; for He has risen, just as He said!
Matthew 28:6

Hello from the Sunshine State!

Just writing a quick post before heading out to the sun! So far it has been a wonderful vacation and just very relaxing which is just what I needed.

Dan was down here for the weekend and I think even he ended up having a good time despite his dislike for laying out in the sun. Mostly, we have just been laying on the beach and reading books and then a bit of shopping before dinner. Perfect vacation in my eyes.

Yesterday was a bit cooler, so after laying in the sun for a bit we headed out for some outlet malls. And deals were found! I will have to share all of my finds later...but they were good!

Hope everyone is having a good week! I'll get caught up with everyone's posts soon!

April Fool's Day

I'm always thankful when April Fool's Day lands on a weekend or over spring break. This year I wasn't so lucky. I had sort of forgotten that it was April Fool's Day...well, I definitely reminded when the bell rang at 8am. It was then that the jokes started and just kept coming. Here's a little snippet of it:

Kid #1: I'm leaving early today. APRIL FOOLS!

Kid #2: I didn't do my homework. APRIL FOOLS!

Kid #3: My desk is clean. APRIL FOOLS!

Kid #4: I love broccoli! APRIL FOOLS!

Kid #5: I put something on your desk, Mrs. S. APRIL FOOLS!

Kid #6: Merry Christmas! APRIL FOOLS!

I have 25 kids in my class...so you can imagine the other 19 jokes. :) and then add another 20 more for those who needed to do one every hour. The best part was that they never waited for my reaction- they just shouted APRIL FOOLS!

And then there was:
Me: Okay, for math today you need to finish page 184 and 185.
Half of the Class: APRIL FOOLS...right! right?
The other half: What? April Fools? I don't get it!
Me: No, it's not a joke. You really do need to do those pages.
Class (all at different times): Oh, I thought...

Yeah, okay. Really? All day this has to go on?

Thank goodness that is over. And tomorrow is our last day of school before Spring Break! :)
