No, this picture wasn't turned upside down. There is no need to adjust your computer! This is just a few silly girls on their heads. It was great when I was making them laugh and they were trying not to fall.

My dog, also has an infatuation with the broom. She likes to attack that too. It makes sweeping the kitchen floor difficult.

My dog has an infatuation with balloons. Wherever we go, we have to bring the dog back a balloon to attack.

My kids were in awe to see the effects of dry ice when added to water. It's neat how when you have steaks delivered to your house, you get a little package of dry ice with it. What a great teachable moment!

Bought these chimes in Peddler's Village after searching for just the right ones. I now wake up every morning to their sweet sound and it puts me in a good mood for the day.

The science teacher decided to take the pillar outside our rooms and make it into a tree. In the fall she hung leaves with the kids names on it. For winter she did snowflakes. The branches come over the ceiling towards my door. It's very cool!

My husband always wanted a privacy fence. During the snow storm, God gave him one! I never saw snow stuck in the fence like that.

"Welcome Back To Your Future" is posted on the wall in the one hallway that leads to the lunchroom. I wonder if my students truly understand it's meaning?

As I click away on my computer, I pause at times to listen to my husband play his guitar in the basement. I don't think he realizes how loud he sings. Thankfully he can carry a tune very well.
