Today is a special day

The boys stayed with their grandparents last night so I was able to put together a decorated table and some treats for Valentine's Day for them.  They were delighted when they got home and saw everything.  Each of them received a card, a box of chocolates, and a stuffed animal (these came from students in past years and lived in my classroom until I got new ones this year!).  I made heart shaped PBJ sandwiches for their lunch, and then we went on a wintry walk down along the river.

SNOW

What a SNOWY winter this has been.  Today it is snowing again, just as I hoped it would finally start warming up.  We had just begun to see grass in our yard again!  The boys had fun climbing up and sledding down the mountain in our cul de sac.  The plows ended up putting so much snow there that the garbage truck had a hard time getting though.  The city had to come with a dump truck to load up the mountain and take it away!  The snow has made for some beautiful days this winter.
