HOLD THE PHONE!!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas & has enjoyed spending time with family!!! :) I have!! Being home for break has been so much fun! We have been busy busy busy with Christmas festivities and PLAYING IN THE SNOW!!! Oh yeah, and playing board games! Each night Cinnie Minnie, MAW, and I play games.

This was our nightly game we would play!! MAW, Cinnie Minnie and I could probably play this game with our eyes shut now.  Cinnie Minnie needs to be watched while playing this game because she will get confused on what she is suppose to be doing!!!

 When MAW and I got home for break Will.I.am. had an elf on the shelf.  His name is Buddy and I guess Will.I.Am thought we needed to be watched!


This is Buddy & he would keep a watch on us and fly back to the North Pole & tell Santa how we have been!!

We have also been busy going to Bill Ellis' BBQ.  It is the Warren's and the Godwin's family tradition to go eat there and then go to Meadow Lights! :)


Us Sisters with Bill Ellis!!!


Us taking a break from eating to snap a picture!! :) BTW this is Betty Boop in the picture with me :)

NEXT STOP: MEADOW LIGHTS!!!!
Meadow Lights is a few miles down the road from our house and it has a Old Country store which is filled with candy.  It also has a train we could ride and it took us on a ride throughout the Christmas lights that were set up.  It also features a drive through about a mile long filled with Christmas lights!!


Bro and Sisters in the Candy store :) YUMM

Us with Will.I.Am in the candy store begging him for some money :)

Since the kids were riding the train the parentals hung out and waited on us. It was a little chilly!!!
We do this tradition every year and always have so much fun! :)

We have also had multiple family Christmases :)

Cousins at the McLamb Christmas :)

Since we have been home the pets have been extra crazy and extra lazy!!! There is just something about the fireplace that the pets like and makes them sleepy.  


All of the pets on the couch!! Roadey is already out.


Moxie laying beside her daddy :)

While the cats are snoozing together...Alex is on his pillow asleep...He has NOTHING to do with the cats!


This is Moxie...she loves drinking water out of the faucet 
Moxie snuggled up with Santa..probably trying to earn some brownie points so she can get some kitten treats!

Aren't our pets just so precious????? They are spoiled and cute!! :)

Roadey did get in a fight and got hurt :( but I am taking good care of him :)
He loves to lay in my lap and for me to rub him :) So sweet :)

Did I mention it snowed????? We got 11 inches!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SNOW!!! BRRRR

As soon as the first snow flake landed we were all trying to figure out how soon everybody else was going to get to the cabin.  We love to go sledding at the cabin because it has big hills that we can sled on. 

This is some of the crew that was there first, all ready to sled, make snow angels, build a snowman, and snow ball fight!!

Hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas and if you got snow I hope you have enjoyed playing in it!!! My family has :) If anyone has any pictures they would like to post and share with us we would love to see them!!! :)

Love,
KLW

You know you have been around students when.....

We have so much to catch everyone up on!!!! We have been so busy, as everyone is this time of year, that we are just getting around to blogging.  Christmas is coming soon and I cannot wait until Christmas break!! :) I cannot wait to not have to set an alarm clock and not have to do homework!! I will miss my students though. 
I was with my students on Wednesday and they are so funny!!! Of course they are constantly excited that it is December.  Even though Christmas is a few weeks away....it is just something about the month of December that they are all excited about!!! Being with my students is so much fun because we cover everything from Math and counting money to boyfriends and girlfriends, and who likes who.  HAHAHA! It is very entertaining to get caught up with the drama of their lives!!
So, the title of this blog is you know you have been around students when....well...I know I have been around students when I am going to sleep at night and all I can hear in my head is "Miss Warren, Miss Warren, Miss Warren....." That is what happened to me Wednesday night.  I was trying to go to sleep and I could hear my name when I was trying to go to sleep.  The students rely on me and they always have to tell me something or need my help...so they call out my name!!! hahaha!!
 Also, this one little boy I was working with in a different grade I asked him did he have a good day that day and he said "no" and I said well why didn't you have a good day?  Then he replied and said "cause we didn't get to go outside and play" I had to hold everything in so that I would not laugh when he told me this!!! He said the whole class was talking so they didn't get to have recess that day!  HAHAHA!!!! How funny is that!!!!! So cute!!! I wish that is the only thing that made me have a bad day!!....The life of a kid is so easy!! HAHA :)
Well, I hope everyone is having a great busy December and getting their shopping done!!! Hope Santa is good to everyone!! Remember the real reason for the season :) & keep him in your hearts!!
