Thankful Thursday!

Today...
*all the teachers my kiddos have gotten the pleasure of hanging out with all year
*our new, awesome, public schools this year
*the principal who welcomed us last August...the day before school started
*the school library that lets me come in weekly and volunteer

Teaching is a over-time job that does not get enough credit.  I am so thankful for the men and women who give their time and energy to making sure my kiddo is happy and enriched throughout the day.  A lot of people could not do for even one day what these people do every single day...at the very least they deserve a big thank you!

We are doing that this morning.  The kiddos in Lili's class are each bringing a single flower for their teacher...they are going to put them all together and give her one big bouquet.  Such a sweet thought...so simply thoughtful.  Zander is giving his teacher a nicely written note thanking him for all his time this year.  He has really enjoyed 5th grade and it's has a lot to do with Mr. B.  Katia...well she is going to give each of her teachers a blackboard paint pot with a geranium (I will show you the craft at another time!).

Thank you!
It's the least we can do!

Thankful Thursday...

Oh my...it's already been a week...
Today...
oh my...

Today I am Thankful for:
the sun
my mp3
and my kids' school (for teaching them of course and (selfishly) for giving me quiet time!)

Now it's off for a walk around the neighborhood.
I am so tired this morning!  I can usually manage fine but today I think I am just beat.  So I think my solution is this...I am gonna give myself a break.  I will walk...just walk...and see how that feels.  I usually worry about going fast enough to get my heart rate up but today I am just going to chill out and enjoy the morning...the birds, the sunshine, and all the amazing gardens around this town.  I think I will also stop at the coffee shop, the book store and the hardware store that are merely blocks away from home.  Yay!

That sounds like a good pick me up...the perfect morning!

I leave you with the fun we had the other day...Lili's class had a field trip to downtown.  We got a private tour of the 2011 World Series Champion Cardinals Stadium and had lunch under the arch!  It was so fun and I am so happy I got to go! 

"Take me out to the ball game..." from inside the dugout!

on the field!

Walking to the arch...pretty impressive when you approach it!

Thankful Thursday!

I haven't done too much blogging this week...not much going on...just living life!

I am thankful today for...
my cooking abilities
my set of Le Creuset pans
my grocery store
Trader Joes
the farm stand just around the corner
and...
the gym to away all the calories I eat!

Tomorrow I am headed to the St.Louis Zoo with L's 2nd grade class...yippee...We shall see how we fare!  She has several field trips coming up one of which is a tour of the Cardinals B-Ball Stadium (you know, the World Series winners!).  I wanted that one but all the parent spots were taken...quickly...so I got stuck with the zoo.  Good thing it's a great zoo it's just that zoo's are always crazy this time of year with class field trips.
Well, we will make it, I am sure of it! 

Happy Thursday everyone and remember to be thankful for the little things in life...they add up!
