The last day of school before the winter break is always full of fun, and sugar, and candy and special memories... Angela spent so much time and took so much care in decorating her gingerbread house at school. I even spent a couple of hours the week before getting the houses put together with another class mom... So you can imagine the devistation when mom (me) was trying to juggle it and 5 other things in my arms amidst the dismissal bell and hoards of kids leaving the school... There were tears, and apologies and the house did not live up to the earthquake/tornado/flood/snowstorm climate we have here in Oklahoma... it was beyond repair and had to be condemned... Alyssa had some fun crafts too... the only thing she lost in the tumble from mom's arms was a plate with a chocolate dipped pretzel and a cookie... a little less heart breaking. I love the teachers Angela and Alyssa have this year. It's been a lot of fun having them for the second ...
