Congratulations to Derek DeYoung!

Recently, a good friend and fellow angler (of Nick's... as I copied this from his blog.) Derek Deyoung has achieved something that few can say they have done. He was awarded the cover of Gray's Sporting Journal. http://grayssportingjournal.com/

Congratulations, Derek! You deserve it more than anyone!

School Fund-raiser...

Gotta say: "Way to Go" to my students!
We were given this assignment by the Family Council (PTO). A request that look my teaching partner and I a while to get into, but... when we did, the kids took off.

The Results!



Each class was to create a "themed basket" that would be auctioned off at the spagetti dinner. Our class collected donations and raised money to fill our basket with goodies. Some example basket titles were: "Hockey Night Out" "Scrapbooking Fun" "Spring Cleaning(which included 2 donated Bissell vacuums)" "A wii" and SO MUCH MORE!

Although each team only needed to create one basket, we had so much stuff, we split it and made two "baskets" One "basket" is the tent and the other "basket" is the airondeck chair. Both were jammed pack of fun stuff... to much to list!
Good Job!

Child-proof.....

Last night I watched my 3 sweet nephews. The coolest thing in the house was the magnets on the fridge. At their house, their way cool stainless steel fridge does not have the magnetic force as mine does. So...the boys thought the best thing at Krissy's house was the PowerPuff Girl magnet and the New Orleans magnet.

Although Levi claims that "we have this at our house Krissy. Krissy, we have this at our house too, Krissy." The kid is wrong.

Now, Samuel is "the child of wrath" he has no problem putting a pen, a scissors, his crackers, and who knows what else in his juice. Mind you, the kid is falling off the kitchen stool as he is doing all this.

Boys! I'm glad my sisters bore the boys of the family.
