Hard Workin'Man

I woke up one morning to this! Troy took out the whole kitchen wall!!!

This is what our house used to look like on the outside...

We have made lots of changes... This is Troy working on the siding... You can see the old siding at the top.

We know have the siding finished & we are working on the inside.

We put down new tile... and the bathroom is coming along quite well....

We are hoping to build on a garage with a large room above it in the spring....

I will post inside photos soon....

All I Want for Christmas....Next Year

Is a New Puppy Dog....

Look at all the options I have found!!!

My favorite is the one at the top- he is an Old English Sheep Dog-

#2 is a Affenpinscher

#3 is a Havanese

#4 is a Newfoundland

#5 is a Shitzu- I have two of these & they are my world, but they need a little sister (DOG)!!!

I guess Santa thought I was bad... I didn't get a puppy for Christmas!!!

Traditions!

Today, in my first grade classroom, we were talking about traditions... what are they? why do we have them? and what do they mean?
most of the children caught on very quickly.... which led to the sharing of their own family's christmas traditions---
so funny-

"my family always listens to elvis music. i hate elvis music" - i bet her children listen to elvis music at christmas- what do you think?

"at my house, the night before christmas i get to sleep with my mom and dad- i am afraid my dad will shoot the reindeer and hang them on the wall" hahahaha

and then.... i thought i would crack up!

"mrs. pekkala, is wal-mart a worldly tradition?" - yes, she is gifted, no questions asked.... but this shocked me.

have a great one.... and don't forget why we do the things we do!
