happy St. Pat's Day!

There may have been a leprechaun that visited our classroom today! The kids were so.... so... um excited!:) Yes I know they were excited but to me or any other person that visited our classroom it looked like a mad-house ALL DAY!! no joke.. oh my goodness they were off the walls! I don't know but something about wearing green, seeking leprechauns and wanting to learn all day about how to catch one does something for a 6 year old! :)



But as you can tell, I sort of egged it on! While the students were out at recess our little friend came and visited each student's desk and gave them a gold coin! Ahh they were screaming with excitment when they came in! It was really cute!

We set up a peanut butter trap with notes and a rainbow!

We thought that we would be able to catch him in the peanut butter, but he managed to escape! Darn it!:)

okay best part of the whole day.. the students "thought" they heard the leprechaun knock on the back wall, so.. imagine this... all 26 students rushed over to the back cabinet and tried to find him! :) it was seriously the craziest thing ever to see bodies flailing, arms, legs in this huge pile of first graders! one student was even holding a mini whiteboard and it snapped in half.. oh goodness!

2 students looking behind the cubbies for our friend!

T.T.T.W.O.O.M.S

soo... the recent happenings.. My best friend from college, Low, had her birthday at the Olive Garden! Her eggo is preggo and she is just about the cutest thing there is! It was so good to see her and Mason. My sister Bailey was actually there with Mason's brother (blind dates are the best!)

Low!

B and her cute blind date... ahh young love!

..and then, me and the roomies are die hard Jazz fans and so one night we tried to go get some tickets down town and couldn't so we just went to Iggies and watched the game while eating yummy food. We may have stayed for the whole game and loved every second of it!

We're pretty hardcore! We love our Jazz!

We also love our BYU boys! My sistas and I went and watched their last home game. Can I just say that Jimmer really is amazing (for reals!) .. so are my sisters.. and so is Kneaders all-you-can-eat french toast that we ate before the game.. and so is the warm-up music..

okay.. and then Dani, Mers and I went to Radical Reels! It is pretty much like Banf Film Fesitval and there are all these sweet videos of extreme sports. Like dudes going 60 mph LONGBOARDING down a canyon.. or kayaking in South Africa.. or snowboarding down stair rails

and... we may have had a little photoshoot one night. For like a week straight Mers and I would come home and change out of our "real" clothes and into our comf Nike shirts we bought at Smiths. yes I did just say SMITHS.. like the grocery store!

love her!

Okay and real quick.. so recently my roomies and I decided to pick a night to make dinner for the whole fam! We each pick a night and make alittle din din. It is the best thing that has happened to me. I LOVE it! I actually cook on my night and try new recipes (thanks to one of my student's mom!) and then my roomies always make yummy things too! We pray and eat like a real fam and it's just great.. I know we're so cute right?
