Because surely everyone wants to see the evidence....

This actually kills two birds with one stone--it shows me with my ticket (picture taken by my colleague Laurie right before I sent off the $131 fine, and it also fulfills the little thing sweeping livejournal where we are all supposed to take a picture of ourselves just as we are.  Well, that's me right after school on Friday afternoon. 



And there is the ticket itself.  As you can see, I have a steadier hand than Laurie.  LOL.

 

Two of my girls....

Here we have the infamous Claire and Eryn who were talking about hair dye (referenced in one of my earlier journals)

Claire is an awesomely witty and clever girl.  She thinks she is going to graduate this year, but I am going to do all in my power to prevent it as I enjoy her company and her clever, sly (slightly EEEEEvil) sense of humor too much to let her go.  LOL.  I am sure I can find a way to bribe everyone into failing her in every class this year so I can keep her around a while longer.

Eryn is new this year, but is already winning my heart.  She has the sweetest smile and a charming and delightful personality.

This was taken at lunch time in my classroom.  Note the horseshoe hanging over the window in the back?  That was from one of the horses that my grandfather used to work the farm where I grew up.  I found it buried under the grainery floor when I was playing back there as a kid.

Aren't my little sweetpeas just adorable?  I love all my little punkins.
