Are gloves really necessary? I'm thinking not. I went to Walmart tonight to find something to do (I decided to make a scarf) and ended up getting so cold on the walk from my car to the door that I broke down and bought a pair of gloves. A waste of money? Probably, since it won't get as cold as it was yesterday and today ever again!! Oh well, my hands are nice and warm now. :)

First grade yesterday was so much fun! We played a circle game to practice keeping a beat. I was standing there, playing the game with them, and took a step backwards...I tripped over the riser and fell backwards. I laid on the floor for second, trying to figure out what happened. Then I started laughing. My first graders thought it was the funniest thing they had ever seen. We laughed together for a few minutes before class was over. It was definitely a moment to remember!!
