Aloha! Today was beach day at school. Funny they call it beach day. When I think of a beach, I think of the calming sounds of waves, the warmth of sun, and smells of fresh water. None of these were true today. I heard 23 second graders constantly fighting over floaties to read on. I felt a cheap grass skirt tickle my ankles each time I sat down where I would instantly smack my legs fearing spiders or ants! Fresh smells? Nope. Try hot and humid bodies mixed with peanut butter from our beach picnic lunch. Either way, I wouldn't trade my job for the world. (Except maybe for the chance to stay home with Maxer.) It's funny how attached I have become to these little critters. Especially those extra tricky ones. Happy beach day, kiddos. You deserve it!
Update: Mike was home with Max again. He took Max to the doctor. What a good daddy! Max's temperature was still high as of late last night. Ears checked out okay and no strep. Just a virus. Luckily he has maintained a temperature under 99 degrees for the majority of the day! Yay! I'm ready to have my energetic little man back!
Love,
Lis

ReplyDeleteYou're just lucky that Jean's private stash of "Jumbled Jewels and Terrific Treasures" had this magnificent example of stylish beach attire! LOL
