Well, I was doing pretty well with updating this thing. Then Thanksgiving and chaos hit. Thanksgiving was great. Returning to reality wasn't so great. I got on the computer to put in grades and end up blogging before I've put in a single grade. I have a million things to do today so I won't write for too long.
We had Polar Express day yesterday and my kiddos were adorable in their pjs. We put chocolate milk in the crock pot and it tasted just like hot chocolate! I, however, forgot it was milk and drank some. I realized pretty quickly my mistake and didn't drink anymore. Milk is not my friend :( The kids loved it though. And I got to use Oma's crock pot. I'm sure she would be proud that the first thing I made in her crockpot was hot chocolate for my kiddos. This 1st week back after break has been crazy. There is so much to do and I'm not really sure why other than the fact that there is always so much to do. I guess that just comes with the territory. My kids were pretty well behaved considering they had been out of school for 5 days. That made things a little easier.
Thanksgiving break was wonderful. I enjoyed spending time with Opa cooking, looking at family tree history, and listening to stories. I love going there. It's so calming and peaceful. I can go and just relax and feel like I'm home. Thursday, Opa and I drove to Uncle Bud's to meet the rest of my family. That's another of my favorite places to be. The fresh air and family time are marvelous. The most fun part of Thanksgiving was getting to shoot guns. I'm a pretty good shot when I use the sights :)
Time to go finish grades!
