Piles of Sugar, Oodles of Hugs

Happy heart day!! How much frosting have YOU eaten today? I'm so totally surprised I didn't have a single puker after frosting cookies this afternoon.


Do you know what makes our job totally worth it, every day? It's the hugs. Even the grumpiest day can be made just a little brighter by a waist-hugger. V-day is the grand-daddy of all hug days. I feel full of chocolate and sugar, but I'm brimming over with love from the little folk. I am totally satisfied, and positively glowing.

I do feel slightly frantic, though. Once my kit arrives for healthy hell the Pink Method, I won't be able to have any sugar for a while, so I plan on going on a little binger tonight. Conversation hearts and Tagalongs, here I come!

Studying family in Social Studies? Here is a fun project - made even more fun because it's done at home! Now, now, I know that I shouldn't be so gleeful pawning off work on the 'rents, but this is actually really good for everyone involved. It is meant to get conversations about family going at the place where it's the most important - AT HOME WHERE THE FAMILIES LIVE. Check it out! I have our crests hung under our coat hooks, so the kids never forget where they came from. It's a nice piece of everyone's history.
