It is almost the big day! It doesn't seem quite the same now that the kids are all big. Our oldest did bring her cat home with her for the holidays though. All three of them helped to pick out and decorate a tree. We have baked cookies, enjoyed Christmas movies together and had lots of family game time. Today we will make Christmas pajamas and put the presents under the tree.
I had been asking to get my office painted at school. After moving out 17 bookcases, we discovered a long ago water leak had caused some damage to the wall. Our assistant principal in charge of facilities started with the company line that we don't do cosmetic painting, but eventually scheduled the painting/mold remediation team to come in September.
The new desk we ordered in June still isn't in, but with the college pennants up, it is starting to look a lot more festive.
The cold has descended, even to Florida. I am so glad that we walked to look at the lights yesterday. We might need to turn on the heat if this continues.
Is anyone up for a grand end of the year reveal next weekend? Then we can start the new year with plans for new blocks

You're not the only one who feels like the holidays are much different without the kids home. I think we're all just determined to make the best of it and enjoy them however we can! I'm not surprised you had to take matters into your own hands with painting your office, either! (I once had a tech guy tell me it would take a month to get a new light bulb for my Promethean Board projector.) At least you'll start the new year with a nice clean look! Have a wonderful Christmas, Angela!
it really is sad how the schools have to jump through so many hoops to get a classroom painted. have a happy Christmas with your family
Merry Christmas! And many, many thanks for the gift of your blog all year long!
Your wall looks much better! Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Oh my goodness the kids are no longer kids!
Merry Christmas and have a wonderful time with your family!
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Angela!!
Your office looks great.
Merry Christmas to you and family. Have a happy and safe festive season.
Your kids are so big. I had to laugh about your wall. I always painted my classroom myself every couple of summers. I bought my own paint and did it the way I wanted. The principal would come visit but not comment.
Your grown up kids look like they're having fun decorating the tree together. That's what it's all about isn't it? Merry Christmas!
Looks like a fun Christmas for all and the painted walls look great.
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas. Our Grad Girl came home with her kitty too. It's been an adventure. Hope you got lots of time with your crew and made lots of fun memories. Have a very Happy New Year.
