Three day weekend, all thanks to Debby and Jack. I will enjoy being out of school tomorrow to celebrate your marriage! I hope the weather is great, the guests generous, and the love abundant.
My students wrote letters to their mothers today for Mother's Day. The following is my favorite:
Dear Mom,
Happy Mother’s Day. I hope you have safe trip. You are the best mom in the world. Thank you for everything you buy me. I like when you cook ribs. Love, ---------
Its the simple things, isn't it? I'm starting to wonder what kinds of letters Grant will come home with in a few years. What will he thank me for? What will he love about me? What sorts of strange things will he tell his teachers about home? I know all sorts of things about my students' families that would probably make them blush. I hope Grant and our other children have some sense of discretion.
Today I learned that a game of Monopoly with the assistant principal can make a student's day.

My Cutie Pie
I bought Henry a new toy recently- its made just like a tennis ball. Not the same shape, though. He just loves it. It comes up to bed with him every night- I keep stepping on it during my many trips to the bathroom.
Henry taking a break- its such hard work to keep a wild toy under control. Its like watching a rodeo.
I love this one- he put his paw through and started gnawing on the toy. Then he couldn't get his paw out. Bless his heart- he's not all that bright.

Scary Man
I heard about this on the radio today, and I laughed so hard. I wonder where I can find my own weird folk singer for my classroom...
Bob Dylan reportedly scared the children at his grandson's kindergarten after treating the class to a live show.
The "It Ain't Me Babe" singer has allegedly been dubbed the "weird man" by children in the class, in the Los Angeles suburb Calabas, where his son Jakob Dylan's child attends.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "The kids have been coming home and telling their parents about the weird man who keeps coming to class to sing scary songs on his guitar.
"He's been visiting the school just for fun, but the kids don't appreciate they are in the presence of a musical legend. They just think of him as the weird guitar guy."

We've had a nice weekend. Very low key. We went to a Cinco de Mayo get together on Friday
at a friend's house. Yesterday we put up the changing table in the nursery, and I've been rearranging it every two hours until I have it how I think I want it. Which lasts for another two hours until I go back and move more stuff. I'm looking forward to the next week at school. Tomorrow is a work day- no students!- and Friday I'm off. Three days with the kids- not too bad.
