god definitely has a sense of humor!

photo of the day #71
spring break begins
i couldn't believe it was snowing today!!!  god definitely has a sense of humor!  i guess we teachers complained too much about how crazy the kids would be today so he tossed in some snow to show us it could always be worse!  it was beautiful while it fell, but it was too warm to stick.  when i stepped out to get this picture i had a whole little clan following me!!

we had parent-teacher conferences tonight, and i had very few parents schedule a meeting.  my lesson plans for after spring break were already done, my copy requests were turned in AND my gradebook was already set up and ready to go.  so what did i do while i waited for 8:00 p.m.?  i knitted using pencils for needles and watched survivor!!!  {i know it's a terrible picture of the tv, but you get the point.}

Love the quote! Bet you wish you were cross eyed sometimes! Ha! And, I am completely impressed by your ability to knit WITH PENCILS! I can't knit at all, so I am in complete awe of you! Maybe if I show you how to post video, you can show me how to knit! ;)

Have a great break!

How fun! Knitting with pencils is right up there with cutting turkey with a butter knife . . . it's a challenge, but it CAN BE DONE! ;)

Love the quote!
