A Teeny Tiny Teacher

So Cal FB Hop

Well, hello there, second three day weekend in a row!  I could get used to this which is probably why we don’t have another three day weekend until Memorial Day.  Which is countless Mondays away. Which is cruel.  Which is why we need to stop thinking about that and focus on today instead.

Or yesterday.

So . . . let me tell you about our Morning Breakfast Valentine’s Day Party. 

Perfect.

Way.

To.

Start.

The.

Day.

Seriously.  We had five centers where we made crafts and played Bingo and did a little word search and made our Valentine bags, and then at the end, we had some fruit and donut holes.

When the sugar kicked in, I sent them out to recess.

It was so calm and relaxed . . . I have the best moms ever.  Even one mom took pictures with my fancy camera that I do not know how to use so I just snuck donut holes whenever I could and chit chatted the morning away.  I probably didn’t even need to be there.

The rest of the day was filled with exchanging Valentines, some Math with Conversation Hearts, and Fun Friday.  We were starting to lose it by the end of the day, though.  At one point, I thought our roof might blow off, but I was able to get them mostly back under control using my megaphone and tranquilizer gun tried and true classroom signals.  No one fell down and scraped their elbow.  No one got a band-aid stuck in their hair.  And no one thought our classroom was the playground.  Nope.

I am just the best at classroom management, don’t ya know.

After school, the hubby texted this to me:

And when I walked in the door, this is what greeted me.  That’s tomato caprese . . . and even if you don’t like tomatoes (me), you will like this because they are roasted with sugar and garlic in the oven for four hours, and they are just absolutely delicious when you put them on top of mozzarella cheese and drizzle them with balsamic.  They taste even better when your husband does all of that because he knows you had a long party day at school and barely made it out alive.

And this is my favorite Vodka Pasta that I’ve blogged about several times before.
Ohhhhhh, yummy, I am thinking about having some left overs for breakfast.  And, just in case you were curious, we did send a bowl over the fence to our neighbors.  We are just givers, I tell you.
Tonight is the night we go to Ruth’s Chris.  We’re going to have a teeny breakfast and then save ourselves for a huge dinner.
Do I need an intervention?  Is anyone else worried that this entire post is about food?
Let’s change the subject, shall we?
There’s a Facebook Hop going on!  Yahoo!  Some of the girls and I are starting to realize that the So Cal Kinder Conference is just around the corner . . . and we want to share all that crazy excitement and panic and stress enthusiasm with you!
We are having a hop on our Facebook pages.  You need to start at Traci’s — Dragonflies in First — page and then just keep hopping to grab some amazing freebies, plus there’s a little surprise for you at the end.  It’s a short hop so get started!  
🙂
PS  You need to be on a computer (not a phone or tablet) to get your freebies or the links won’t work!  
Have a great day!
