This morning...one of the girls in my Kindergarten class came into our classroom. She had a new haircut complete with bangs-previously her hair was all one length. She asked, "Do you notice anything different about me?" as soon as she walked in the door. I said, "Yes, I love your new hair!" Then she told me..."I wanted to have bangs just like you."
Well...that's a first! In all of my 12+ years of teaching, I've had many sweet comments from my students...and some not-so-sweet too! But, this is the first time a student told me that she had her hair cut to be like me! What a sweet, unexpected compliment from this sweet girl!

I better get ready
I better get ready!
On Wednesday nights at church, I help with the children's program. There are three rotations: Bible Zone, crafts, and singing. I assist with the Bible lessons. Tonight the lesson was on when Jesus comes back from Revelation 22. After the lesson, our girl looked at me and said..."Mama, I want Him to come to my house first!" I winked at her and said..."me too."
See what I mean?...I better get ready! What shall I do first?
Here's the "I'm looking for Jesus" projects from tonight (the one of the left is our girl's, the one on the right is our boy's):
On other note, the computer teacher at school today came up to me to tell me something our boy said in class. She said she put a new program up on the board to introduce to the kids, and our boy was excited and said..."I LOVE this game" Then followed up saying, "I've never played it before." She said she laughed out loud, and then told him that she wanted to be more like him-excited about life!

To Weigh or Not To Weigh?
To Weigh or Not To Weigh? That is indeed the question.
Tomorrow our school starts it's Annual Biggest Loser Competition. You may remember that I did participate last year. You may also remember that I lost 14 pounds last year. Well...honestly...I weighed in the first week with boots and a heavy sweater...and on my final weigh-in I didn't wear shoes and took off anything I could before I weighed...so I probably really only lost about 10 pounds. But...here's the thing...I've gained back most of it...not all of it... but most of it! Enough that my pants don't fit as comfortably...sad, but true.
So...I guess it'll be a game time decision...will I join the competition or not? Hmmmmmmmmm

Organized Linens
Over Christmas break, I organized our linen closet--complete with labels: 
The labels are Christmas tags that were marked down 50%. Everything in the closet was starting to wonder from it's original home...so I'm thinking the labels may help each item keep from straying. I got rid of a huge bag of linens too which made more room. Now...everything is in it's place--smile!

She did it!
She did it...our girl really did cheer today! Here she is doing a cheer for the "half-time" show!!
Our boy is playing basketball too...and Hubby is the coach. Here's our boy and Hubby on the court for the game:
The kids were up early--way too early for a cold Saturday morning in my opinion! We had to arrive at the gym by 8:15 for pictures. Our car said 14 degrees on the way to the gym, and we're NOT used to that down South!!! But, the kids looked ready by the time we arrived:
It's soooooooooooooooooooooo hard to see your family in orange and blue when you bleed Red and Black!! Remember--Hubby and I met at UGA! I don't think I've EVER seen Hubby wear orange and blue. He won't even stack our Ikea bowls in the cabinet with the orange next to the blue...I kid you not! See for yourself:
See what you will do for your kids! I know...all that orange and blue...it's a little hard to swallow!
This pic above makes me smile and makes me happy orange and blue will be our colors...until March anyway!

Ready to Cheer!
Our boy is playing basketball and our girl is cheering. This year is our first time with Upward.
My sister and I never cheered growing up...so this is all new to me. Our girl is so excited about it:
She told her Daddy that she "didn't want all those people looking at her." So...we'll see if she actually cheers at her first game. Here's one of her cheers that she did for me this morning:
