Decorating Easter Eggs old school style!

There are so many different hints out there today to color Easter eggs... we decided to do it old school with good old fashioned hot water with white vinegar and food coloring.. Our Gigi did an awesome job!!! After they all dried she put stickers on them and decided who gets what egg... very good love!

This week was so nice to catch up on sleep and relax.. besides the Dr's appts, haircuts, grading papers, planning for the last couple weeks of school, and all that good stuff, it was really nice to be off...John will be 2 in less than a week now and I just can't believe it. We all went over the Melissa's and it is hysterical with 4 toddlers and 1 baby! It was a riot and we can't wait to do it again. Back to work Monday but there is only about 42 days of school left!!! Yippee!!

B17 Sentimental Journey

What a great night we had!! It was our 4th year going to the WW2 dance and it is always a blast.. now we see people every year that we met the year before and it is just so fun. The absolute best part is to meet the veterans. It is such an honor and to hear their stories and then watch them swing dance at the age they are, is priceless!! This year the C47 was parked away from the dance in a private area. A man who works and flies it came up to us and asked us if we wanted to go see it and get in it. It was awesome and the man asked us this because Sal was dressed as a paratrooper who jumped out of that plane in WW2 on D Day. It was super cool to go inside.... Then we met a man Mike who is on crew for the B17 and said to bring my students down so they can go inside!! I almost fell over as this is the special curriculum I have been teaching all year! Must make this happen because when we went to Pima Air and Space Museum my students could not go in the B17 due to Air Force regulations.. but now... whole different story at Falcon Field!! It was just a beautiful night especially to spend with my soldier :)  we do not get out alone often at all so being together on such a beautiful night with priceless warriors who saved the world is a night we will always remember. Most of the vets we met from WW2 are in their 90's , we just hope when next year's dance rolls around we get the privilege to be in their company again.
