Chelsea's Baby Shower

I helped my friend Thuy throw a baby shower for our friend, Chelsea. You can see some more pictures at http://atnelsonnest.blogspot.com/2012/04/chelseas-baby-shower.html?spref=fb
Congrats Chelsea! We are excited for you and Daniel!!

 I found the idea for the party favors on a blog.. and I can't find it again to give credit. It is brown paper with a cute stamp that I sewed jelly beans inside of!

Spring Break

Spring Break was a while ago, but we were able to go and see Brian Regan! We loved the show and had a good time.
We also got to spend the weekend with the Moses Lake family, which is always a treat.

Best part of my work day

My favorite part of the workday is when I am greeted by the happiest first grader in the world. He always says, "Hi Law", waves at me with the biggest smile, & points for me to sit down next to him. My little friend finishes his lunch and then we blow & pop pretend bubbles while we walk down the hall and out to recess. He says with great enthusiasm, "Oh no!" when we come to cracks in the asphalt, puts his arms up like, "what do we do?", and then jumps over them. He likes to count things, but gets bored after five or so. He pulls out his make believe map and we hunt for treasure and escape from Hook. He is Spiderman most days and shoots his web at crooks and other bad guys. He likes to tag other first graders (or me), but doesn't liked to be tagged. He likes to roll down the "hill", which is really a very gradual slope. He always has a gaggle of girls following him around and is constantly laughing and smiling. 

Today my friend ate lunch very fast and was outside before I was finished with the student I work with before him. When I got outside he handed me the tiniest flower bouquet. "Here Law. For yo-ou!" (Like these http://www.satsig.net/cycling-hungary/small-white-flowers.jpg). Then he motioned for me to follow. What a charmer. 


What is your favorite part of your workday?
