Le Tired

Since I'm super tired, let's keep this brief ...

The parent presents are nearly finished.  Two of my kids have theirs wrapped already.  The rest only need a few finishing touches and they'll be good to go too. 

I had just enough gingersnaps for everyone.  Most of the 5th graders hadn't had gingersnaps before, but they were glad to get extra dessert!  The 7th and 8th graders were also excited to get theirs (some even cheered!).  Since it was right after lunch, a few of them weren't hungry.  One girl gave part of her cookie to Mr. D.  He said they were very good.  The lady who bought my cookies on the silent auction picked hers up after school today.  She ran into Mr. D on his way out and he ended up with two of them.  She said she'd have to put them in the freezer when she got home or she'd eat them all before her company came! 

Our bookmarks are finally mailed!  I still have to email their teacher back...  We plan to start our Valentine's Day cards in January when we get back from break so they'll be done in time for February.

There were/are 4 basketball games after school.  They're on game number three in the gym right now.  I watched the B squad boys and girls play.  Though we weren't officially cheering, there were a few cheerleaders who wanted to cheer at the games.  They were going strong for about the first five minutes.  Then they ate some pizza and drank some pop and played around in the equipment room.  And then they ran off into the halls to play tag.  And then we didn't see them again.  Since it wasn't officially a cheering game, Mrs. E and I couldn't/didn't do a whole lot.  Seeing them in action gave us lots of things to think about for our meeting tomorrow.
