Kiss Me!

Elizabeth has begun showing an interest in cooking lately, especially baking, so we've made dinner together a few times this week.  Last night she helped me by coating the pork chops with Ritz crackers and Parmesan cheese then she made Peanut Butter Blossoms for dessert.

 

YUM!!

Valentine's Party

As most of you are aware, last Tuesday was Valentine's Day and in true elementary school fashion there was a sugar-laced party.  Also note that February was "I Love to Read" month and because the students reached their goal, they were allowed to dress in Hawaiian/Aloha clothes for the day as well.  I know, a Hawaiian Valentine's Day...I thought it was weird too.

 Elizabeth's version of Hawaiian garb :)

The kids all seemed to have a good time and before long the sugar started to kick in...

just in time to go home!
