Should I do it??
Hi Internet,
Well, I'm on my way to getting my 27 before 27!
So, I have a bit of a dilemma..... So, I love Steel Magnolias, the show, not necessarily the flower. Well, I just found out that there are auditions this week for a local production of the play, which I saw in college and LOVED.
I'm thinking about auditioning.....
I've never been in a play, except the one in 4th grade where I had 2 lines and COMPLETELY over acted them. And it will be the end of May, during finals...
But it's something I've always kinda wanted to do, I won't be sure to get a part, but I do think I can pull of a pretty convincing Southern Belle. And then there's the deciding what role to audition for.....
Any and all input/suggestions are welcomed.

3. Finish Report Cards for Kindergartners
5. Send a letter to a friend
7. Try a new recipe
12. Take a new picture of myself for the ol' blog
13. Buy a new tube of mascara

Recipe for a PERFECT Valentine's Day
Hi Internet,
I had an amazing Valentine's Day! I decided I will fill you in on how I did it, so next year you may try to replicate it... Good luck though! ;)
1. Wake up early and go to the elementary school. Take the kids the awesome cookie pops you made and have them oooh and aaaah about how pretty you look in your pink dress today.
2. Go to institute class. Read President Monson's talk about gratitude, then all day you'll be thinking about the good things in your life and not be distracted by the fact that you don't a boyfriend, cause life is good right now with or without one.
3. Go to school. Feel good about yourself because you didn't skip class like all the other kids in your classes and get your homework turned in.
4. Go back to the elementary school for the Kindergarten Valentine's day program. See all the little kiddies come in the concert attire and THEN dress them up like cupids, and make them wear a diaper fashioned out of tissue paper like this. BUWAHAHAHAHA! (Since they're only 5 these cupid's are part of the cupid protection program to preserve their identity.)
5. Clean up the classroom, collect your bag FULL of goodies including super cute Valentines like these:
6. Come home to a DELICIOUS Valentine's Day Dinner that your mom made of London Broil, baked potatoes, asparagus and chocolate cups filled with chocolate mousse.
7. Have Family Home Evening and receive a letter that your grandma had written to you before she passed away in May. Cry a lot. Reminisce with your family about what an amazing woman she was and how much she loved her family and how to live on her legacy.
8. Watch this adorable girl do some ab workouts.
9. Finish Homework and get ready for Kindergarten tomorrow.
I'm so blessed.
Happy Valentine's Day!

I've passed on the legacy
Happy Groundhog Day Internet!
Guess what! Phil didn't see his shadow, so bring on the Early Spring! I have had so much fun this week teaching the kindergartners about this unsung holiday. Today I was asked why I loved Groundhog day so much and I thought I would share the reason with you!
My Uncle Val is a funny guy. I love how he thinks, completely out of the box and absolutely creative, he just so happens to be married to my Aunt Jessie, who only has creative bones in her body and loves to go above and beyond. Perfect match? Methinks so.
Well, when these two got married Val was trying to convince Jessie that it would save them so much money if they celebrated Christmas late, cause then they could buy things at the after Christmas sales. And if they celebrated on Groundhog Day it would be completely unique, because no one else celebrates that holiday.... My aunt wasn't convinced to give up her December Christmas, but did like the idea of celebrating the little known holiday.
All growing up I remember February 2nd being an important day at their house. I remember making banners and decorating the house, playing games and there was ALWAYS a German chocolate cake with a hand drawn groundhog in the middle. I actually thought that Feb 2 was Uncle Val's birthday because of the celebration! (It's not his birthday. haha)
So, now 27 years later my aunt and uncle have celebrated Groundhogs in a major way and I am thankful that they passed on their traditions to me and I hope to be able to pass on my traditions to my family and even my students.
This week in Kindergarten we have been busy celebrating ol' Punxsutawney Phil.
We read books about Groundhogs
We played Shadow Tag at recess
We did our groundhog Weekly Reader
We made Groundhog headbands
We ate deliciously cute groundhog cupcakes!
Here's to keeping the tradition alive! How did you celebrate Groundhog Day???
ps. I have more pictures that I'll try to load later
