A busy day FIVE- Art-Mail-Dinner

Thursday: Blog Goal Day Five

Accomplished!

So today I can say that I don't feel as lazy as I've been feeling. I started my day with the normal Internet checking that I do... e-mail, blogs and facebook. I do have to complain, I love entering giveaways on blogs, but I've been getting a lot of junk mail I think from it... does anyone who has hotmail know how to block junk mail?? Anyway back to my day. I had the chance to go back to my practicum class to visit and help them out. Today was their big painting day, and they did an amazing job. The canvas was about the size of their desks so they had their work cut out for themselves. Michelle and I got all their paint selections prepared over lunch so that we'd be ready to paint. She was telling me that the kids were super excited to see me all week. One of the little girls in the class today even said that I was the best teacher ever- love her!

Seriously kids have the best way of making a person feel loved, as soon as the kids saw me lined up outside the room, they were all waving with big grin on, and when they were invited into the room they all ran to me and hugged me, it was amazing. It was nice to know I was missed. So many kids wanted me to notice their new track jackets and hair cuts, it was so nice. I plan to go visit the kids again real soon. Since I can't post any of the kids pictures, I thought I would share some of the work that they did today and boy did they work hard. Both Michelle and I were so happy with the end product.

I also need to mention how much I love the staff at the school, so many of the staff welcomed me back and asked first thing about the twins. It was so thoughtful that they'd remember the girls, everyone was thrilled to hear that they are doing so great!

When I got home I was excited to open my mail box and see that my first giveaway win had arrived. It was baby shoes from the cute shop on ETSY called the little posh bebe, http://www.etsy.com/shop/littleposhbebe. I don't have the baby for them yet or anytime soon right now... but I do hope I have a little girl some day to wear these shoes, because they are super cute. Can't you see them with a pretty dress for a baby's blessing day. I just love them, and would totally order more from that ETSY shop, you should check it out!

Then already coming home excited from getting a package in the mail, which thrills me! I walk in with some groceries ready to make dinner when Brandon says that he's going to take me out to dinner as a congratulations on my new job. He said he felt bad that we hadn't done anything yet, he even said he was going to get me a card but he ran out of times. I thought the thought of it was really sweet. So I'm not trying to brag, but before we went out Brandon cleaned the whole apartment, so it was an extra treat day for me, and it was appreciated! We went somewhere close by for dinner, which was Applebee's and it was actually really delicious, we find that sometimes it is hit or miss, but tonight was a hit!

Now I'm just relaxing at home, just got in my survivor fix for the night, although I do miss watching it with the girls. I'm just waiting for Brandon to get back from the gym so we can watch some more office, don't tell him though I'm watching the new episode right now, and enjoying it! We are loving this show, but we agree that you need to watch it from the beginning to appreciate the characters. I'd only watched one episode before, and it wasn't that funny, but I saw that episode earlier tonight and it was a hoot! Anyway I'll stop my rambling for the night, keep the comments coming as I work on completing my goal of a week of blogs!
