11 More Days!!!

Hi....

It's fun to be around little kids again at this point who believe in Santa. It really does make the holidays a little more magical in some ways. My sister, Heidi, married Brian Edgar and they have 4 children.....3 girls and one boy....thank god for Brian!...: Taylor-7, Blake-5, and the twins Lucas and Lauren-2 1/2. So they ALL get it! ---And Needle Nose and Sharp Eyes took their letters from Santa off of the tree this past week. Blake saw Needle Nose----apparently he has a blue eye! ---and wears bells because Taylor heard him jingling. She even could tell me where she thinks the bells were on his elf outfit: on the points of his top and on the toes of his boots. LOL~

I know Ann Marie has 4 children as well......your house must be just jamming! Cheryl has 4 too.....I'm not sure if we have any classmates who have MORE than 4.

To all of you Santa's Helpers out there! ---- God Bless! Hope you have been as busy as Needle Nose and Sharp Eyes....you only really have 11 nights left! I hope it all comes together for you.

Hi!

Sorry it's been a little bit since a posting: Thanksgiving, the flu...I need to start taking vitamins, and parent conferences....

Anyway, this morning when I woke up it was really pretty outside! We got a couple of inches of snow at some point after 3am. I wish I could say I know this because I was out partying like a rock star, but in reality, I had to let the pups out.

It's nice to see some people have been checking out the site. Ann Marie, I chuckled when I read your memory: Nana Reed and "Tea Time"....for bad papers. Shamefully, I think I have invited some of my students for "Tea" after school. We should make sure we put that on her invitation when we invite faculty. She'll love it! As I recall, she was our speaker at our graduation as well.

Ann Marie made me think of the time that Shawn popped an umbrella in Mr. Sayyeau's french class because he sat in the front and sometimes got the brunt of "Repitez, Ecoutez, Sivouz Plait!" (I don't remember my conjugations, sorry.) That was funny!!!! I think Mr. Sayyeau laughed at his audacity too.

I also remember when Chris Bain brought in a remote to Ed Cali's class when we were still watching the Christmas Carol in April. Every time Mr. Cali turned on the vcr....Chris screwed with him. --What a "pisser"! This went on for a while and Mr. Cali always thought his vcr was screwed up.-----How technololgy has changed since then. Good thing we all had our knuckles cracked by Mr. Cullen during typing class to prepare us for the eworld!

Well...enough for now, I have to internet Christmas Shop! I hope everyone is enjoying their Holiday Season wherever they may be.

John Hunter----glad you are here in the US and not deployed overseas at this time! Your daughter, Amanda, did a kick butt job in the Geo Bee before Thanksgiving. She is one of 10 finalists out of the whole Middle School....over 270 kids sixth through eighth grade. Suzy and I were also pleased to see her win the 7th grade citizenship award last month.

Anymore memories???? Post them for us to remember too......
