Holiday Swap Reveal Post!

Image
So I hope everyone had an awesome holiday. It reaaaallyy sucks that it is over. I always get so bummed after Christmas because it was such a big build up to an awesome day then BAM! Back to work and life and reality. Boo! I am too overwhelmed right now to post all about my holiday, so I will recap it on Monday.  Anyways, I just love getting packages in the mail, especially this time of year, so when I saw that  Janna  was hosting a Holiday Swap I had to participate ! I got partnered up with Megan and she's awesome! Check out her blog to see what I got for her. Alright, here's what you're all waiting for, what Megan got for me:  1- The cutest little tin with mint hot chocolate inside, yum! I already had some :-) 2- Essie Fishnet Stockings Nail Polish.

A Wonderful Morning with Andy Griffiths!

Image
Hip, hip, hooray! Today was Andy Griffiths Day in my school library! I've never heard kids laugh so hard during an author visit, but Andy never lost "control" of the audience. My kids knew when it was time to listen to his next joke and story. I'm so happy that he's visiting with Mr. Sharp's and Mr. Jonker's students later in the week.

According to my first and second graders... *Andy Griffiths is a really fun guy. * He traveled far to visit our school.

He had everyone laughing. * Terry Denton is a good artist. *He showed us very f...
