For Mother’s Day, my mom gave Libby and I a couple of cool seeds to plant.  When grown, their leaves bear a word of inspiration….literally. Both seeds say “love”, one is in English and one in Chinese.  I planted both seeds today.  I will let you know what the finished product looks like.

Today was Teacher Appreciation Day at the kids’ school.  I volunteered to help decorate Emalee’s classroom door for her teacher and take over her class for 45 minutes so she and the other teachers could have an extended lunch.  I took of picture of Emalee (above) sitting in line waiting for me to take her and her friends down to class.  Parents drop off their children at the office each day and they line up there and walk to class.  I have volunteered several times this year in Emalee’s classroom and it is magical to see the twinkle in her eye when she knows I’m coming to HER class!  It’s really cute.

I decorated Mrs. Session’s door with a mint theme and put lifesavers and chocolate mints on the door.  Then I made lifesaver handouts that each child signed and wrote a message to Mrs. Session’s.  I think it turned out cute.  It was very simple compared to the other classroom doors, but that’s okay.

I work really hard in my yard every year.  I enjoy being in the yard…and in the sunshine.  However, this year I have REALLY put in several hours getting the yard work done.  It looks so good!!  I have enjoyed sitting out in the patio swing and just listening to the birds chirp. The yard is my therapy….of sorts.
