Exciting Day in Vegas

Our friends Jenn and Jeremy were here visting from Nashville. On our way down to the strip to meet them for dinner, Lee noticed Bret Michaels' tour bus and so I quickly snapped a couple pics. I have to admit, at one time I was addicted to Rock of Love! Embarrassing!
We had such a good time catching up with Jenn and Jeremy. We had dinner at Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris Casino and then walked around the strip afterwards. We caught the water show in front of the Bellagio and tried to figure out what the Bellagio's theme was. Every other casino has a specific theme that is clear in its decorations. The Bellagio had flowers, butterflies, balloons and circus rides. Pretty but Weird! I still can't figure it out.
I was glad we were able to meet them and catch up a little. Can't wait for New York!

I hate bees!

So this is how it all began... we were going for our afternoon walk with Flynn and whenever we come across a stick, no matter what size, Flynn has to pick it up and carry it for the rest of the walk. Believe me I have a pile of them on the side of my home. However, this time we came across a big stick and he immediately picked it up and started proudly walking off with it. He dropped it a couple of times and then finally stopped and started chewing it. (He's still teething) So then I pointed it out to Lee so he can grab it from him. Lee held it for a second and then calmly said to me "the sticks humming." What???? Yeah umm the stick sounded like it was filled with bees. I started freaking out and I immediately told Lee to chuck it and get rid of it. Luckily this story has a good ending thanks to my hubby's quick thinking and strong baseball throw.

Back in Maryland

I'm so glad to be back in Maryland. It's absolutely gorgeous here! I can't believe its almost been a year since Lee & I were calling Maryland our home. My boss sent another teacher and I to a conference in Baltimore and we found out that the Baltimore Oriols were playing the Boston Red Sox. Can't you tell we're working hard? We're working on team building. :)

My sisters are here!

This weekend my sisters are here visiting us in fabulous Las Vegas. It's always a crazy party when they are in town. Their was a lot dancing (do the dolphin dance) and Amanda even won some money. "You go girl" I still can't believe Lyss is 21! It's weird seeing her with a drink in hand. We even ran into an old high school friend. Good times.

St. Baldricks

On St. Patty's day, my school hosted a local family's foundation to try and conquor kids cancer. The event consisted of having a local comedian introduce all of the "shavees" to the stage and having the whole school witness the selfless act of shaving your head or donating your hair.
The McMullan family lost their 1year old daughter 16 years ago to cancer. Each year they have hosted St. Baldricks at their local pub they owned here in town. However, their daughter who is now in 8th grade wanted to have our school raise money for this wonderful cause.
Our goal was to raise $17,000! Crazy money right!
As a school, we raised over $86,000!! I am so proud to have been able to be a part of this wonderful event, as well as donate 10 inches of my hair to charity.
I also had a wonderful Early Childhood parent offer to style my hair for me...
This is the shortest its ever been!
