Happy Turkey Day!

We are thankful for...
  • Tess arriving in town on Thursday night to spend the weekend with us! She and Jeff came to school on Friday for our double block of P.E. and it was hilarious! When they entered the room, I asked the kids who they thought these people were. Great answers! "Professional athletes from the Olympics?" Yep! "People with degrees in break dancing?" How about break-your-back-dancing! They finally figured it out and we hit the gym for DODGEBALL! "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!" Tess kinda forgot the 5Ds of Dodgeball (dodge, dip, duck, dive and... dodge!) and got hit in the face twice! We had quite a few laughs and a very enjoyable Friday afternoon with the kids.
  • Grandma and Grandpa coming over for dinner! Jeff went and picked them up (thank you, Jeeves!) so that they could join us Sunday night for a lovely feast (which we are thankful for in the next bullet!). We love listening to the stories and the songs. How lucky we are to have them in our lives!
  • Chef Mommé trying out her turkey legs again! The bird, the stuffing, the broccoli casserole, the long-awaited fruit salad... everything was delicious!

  • Being married to Mr. Clean! As usual, Jeff couldn't relax on Holiday Monday, so he got out the tools and product and attacked the windows and sliding glass door. Flo sure taught him well!!! Thank you, Flo!!!!! We miss you!
  • Having a job! I am getting used to my little Grade 7 class and how different they are from Grade 2 and Grade 3! I am so lucky to have another awesome teaching partner, Nikki; she and I plan everything together, so the workload is way less! My Principal is amazing too. Fingers crossed that I get to cover the Grade 1/2 French Immersion mat leave that is coming up in April!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
