Off to War ~

 Estrella War that is!  Justin headed off to war for a week to celebrate Donovan getting his Laurel...one of the highest awards you can receive in the SCA.  He also popped in on his folks since he was in Arizona, so he had a nice trip all around!  Can't wait for him to get back and share all his tales!  I stole these photos off Facebook from various folks sharing, because you know Justin didn't take any!  Have a safe trip Justin!

LOVE ~

A couple of 1st graders found this cool stick shaped like an "L" last week at recess...so I told them to try to spell out a word with other sticks....this is what they came up with.  Reason #389, why I LOVE working with kids!

STOMP!

 The music department at CLP Middle School organized a field trip for family and students to go to the production of Stomp down in Denver, providing a bus, dinner and the show, all for a fabulous price, so Justin, Jordyn and Aunt LeAnn decided to go!  Andrea was going as well, so she joined their group for the evening, and then came over to our house after the show for a sleepover.

 They met at the school where everyone loaded up onto 3 buses for the trip.  It was their largest turn out for a field trip ever, so that was exciting!  They stopped in Northglenn and had dinner at Cinzetti's just off the freeway, and then continued on to Denver for the show.

 It was Jordyn's first time going to the Performing Arts Center in Denver, and it looks like she had a fun!  Justin said the show was amazing, and I think a great time was had by all!  What a wonderful experience for these kids!  Thanks for putting this together Mr. Gezzi!

Valentine Puzzle ~

Jordyn finished the new puzzle she got for Valentine's Day...isn't it cute!?!  :)

Valentine Roses ~

This lucky girl received 5 chocolate roses🌹 at school today from a special friend and it made her day! Naturally she ate two of them on the bus ride home! Happy early Valentines Day Jordyn ❤️

Healing Kitten ~

 Justin took Stitch in to get spayed on Friday, so she is not very trusting of adults right now and has mostly been hiding all weekend.  She did come out for several hours to cuddle with Kato though!  They looked so cozy, I decided to join them, and promptly fell asleep for 4 hours!  I love these two cats!
