0 Getting Home

The past few days have been a whirlwind.

We had a cousin dinner.

Jake and Jade. I love them.

I love babies in jammies. I especially love diaper baby bums in jammies.

I stole some pictures from Meg from their HP get together. Went back to our old stomping grounds. I love that place.

We did a little gift exchange. You could've picked Apple Jacks, you could've picked an old calculus text book or you could've picked velvet santa shorts. No matter what, you're a winner.

Today was my last day of school. HALLELUJAH.

My kids were so so good today for our class party. I was shocked because they've been a little antsy and wild this week (as expected). I kept threatening that Santa was going to bring them coal.

That was mean of me and it didn't work anyway.

Maybe I should've been threatening them with other awful things.

Oh, how I hate Nickelback. This totally made me laugh.

One particular time, they were being a litttttle naughty on the carpet and I finally said, "Do you guys want me to miss you over break?!"

"YES WE DO! We're trying to be good but it's SO HARD!"

I totally get it.

Today we went to our Christmas caroling assembly. Ah! Favorite assembly. Nothing feels more cheery than 800 kids singing with all the gusto in their little bodies.

I had to laugh though when one of my kids turned to me and said, "Miss Stolworthy, why are we only singing Christmas songs?"

HAH!

I don't know! Let me go request a few Labor Day songs for you real quick.

I'm so excited to be back home in Rebel Nation. Tennessee, I have missed you so very much.

Now let's try to do this in one suitcase this time, shall we?
