Crazy Day!

Today was quite a day! It started with me waiting until the last possible moment to leave for school. I just kept hoping I'd get the call to let me know we were having an ice day, but it never came. Once school began, the office decided that today would not be a good day to administer a benchmark test. Since it was a benchmark day I had no other plans for the day. And since we were missing about 40% of the class it wasn't really a good idea to do something new - so we did this:


Just kidding! I mean we totally did play the Wii but not until the end of the day. It was a little reward for the great behavior my kids had all day, even though there was not a lot of structure and the possibility of going home early was looming. This time of year is probably the hardest because it's when we start to really feel the pressure to be ready for TAKS and unfortunately, the kids often feel that too, so it was nice to have a day to just hang out and have fun!

To top off this crazy day, this is my 200th post! And, we just found out that we get a 2-hour delay tomorrow! Woo Hoo!
