Veterans Day 2011

I must be the worst blogger ever.  My apologies!

Last week Westin mentioned that they were going to be having a recognition for the Veterans at his work.  He told me how HR had sent out an email listing all of the Veterans and that there were 22.

What a kwinky-dink!

I have 22 students this year!

So, being the sly one I am... my students made Veterans Day cards for him to take to work on Friday.

I used my Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge for my Cricut to cut out bodies.  They made all of the "gear" for them.  This was my sample... that Westin confiscated and hung up on the outside of his cubicle on Friday!

They are SO cute!

I tried to get them to rotate... for some reason they didn't upload the way they are on my computer.  Thanks, Blogger!

This one was my favorite:

Just look at that camo!!!

Later in the day Westin sent me this email from one of the gentlemen he works with:

Wes, please forward to your fiance. 

(Hmm... maybe he knows something I don't?!)

Miss Laser,
        I would like to thank you and your 3rd grade class for all the cards we received today. This kind gesture meant a lot to me and I am sure many others here at Parker! 

I think they were well received!

FAIL!

It's the 3rd full week of January and I've already failed at my New Year's Resolution.

It's been 11 days since my last post.

11.

That's more than 7.

7 is one week.

Ugh!

I'm still trying though!

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day... which means - NO SCHOOL!

So, as always on days off of school, I'm being super productive!

No, really!  I am!!

My to-do list:

Wash shower curtain

Vacuum seal frozen mushrooms

Fold laundry

Empty dishwasher

Take down Christmas Tree (Yes, I said Christmas Tree!)

Scan some important docs

Clean out my closet (low on list of things to do!)

Go to dentist (1:00)

Finish grading pile of papers

Report Cards!

So there you have it.  That's what I'm doing today!

And because I forgot to share before... this is what I did on our first snow day, back in December:

A new lunch bag!

Have a great Monday Blogger friends!!
