Happy Valentine's Day!

This has been a fun week in Kindergarten. Yesterday was the 100th day of school, and they had a big celebration!
They tried to see if they could lift 100 pounds:

And each contributed 100 goodies that were tossed in a sheet to mix them together for a snack:

And took 100 steps to see where they ended up (the school library!)

And as if that wasn't enough, today was ANOTHER fun day in kindergarten: They had a WEDDING! The letters Q and U got married and promised to spend the rest of their days together in words.

Brynn got to be a flower girl/bridesmaid:

Her teacher performed the ceremony:

And then there was wedding (cup)cakes!

It was very fun and I am sure that the kids will remember that for a long time. Brynn's teacher really is amazing - lots of fun ideas and the kids just love her and work hard for her.
In other news..... All the schools in the district had a 2 hour delayed start this morning. We got a call from the elementary school but hadn't heard that Kyra's school was delayed, too, so Darrin dropped her off as usual and poor Kyra was bored out of her mind sitting there for 2 hours! They wouldn't let her go or call home to be picked up, or even go to the library and get a book to read. The few kids who were there were told to go to their regular classrooms, and IF there was a teacher there, the teachers just let the kids do nothing. If there was no teacher, well, chaos ruled.

Callie won "Prettiest Box" in her class' box making competition. She lost the grade level competition to someone who had an amazing box made out of a popcorn bucket and a soda cup. When you pushed the straw down the lid on the popcorn bucket (which was covered with real popcorn to make it look full) opened up so you could put Valentines in. Callie was pretty wowed by that and took the loss well.
Darrin & I went out to lunch after the wedding because it was the only time we could fit anything in this week. Originally I'd planned to meet him halfway between his office and home, but since there was 12+ inches of snow to be shoveled this morning and none of the streets had been plowed, he stayed home to work from here. (Apparently most of the office did the same, and there was nothing to do, so the few who were at work played Tron most of the day....except for the 45 minutes this morning we had no power and the time we were gone.) So we went to a new place nearby called Asian Star. It was VERY good and had amazingly fast service!
Hope you're all having a nice Valentine's Day!
