It did turn out to be a nice day weather wise. The sun is shining and it's nice and cool. Busy day @ play-school today. Our little friend, JuJu (Jeries) returned to class today after being in Jordan for almost 4 months. Considering how long he's been gone and the fact that he left after only a couple of weeks after starting playschool in the fall, he did remarkably well today. He actually did better than a couple of our kids today. Everyone was really cranky, sleepy and whiny (trust me, Spring Break can't get here fast enough). JuJu's parents are super sweet and very thoughtful. They brought back gifts for me, Margaret and Tricia. They gave each of us a wooden plaque engraved w/ the image to the left and a very pretty desk calendar from Jordan (I need to do a little bit more research and I'll let you know exactly what this structure is and what it's purpose was -- I'm thinking a temple; I do know this was in the last Indiana Jones movie, the one w/ Sean Connery where he's looking for the chalice). I believe the structure is called (the) Petra.
So, it appears that KJ's Flat Stanley has made his way to Aunt Laurie & Uncle Joe's house in South Carolina. KJ rec'd a packet of postcards and photos at school today; looks like Stanley is enjoying his stay. Joe & Laurie live so far north in South Carolina that a section of their neighborhood is actually in North Carolina. KJ said they are tracking their Stanley's on a map and her teacher put half of Stanley's body on North Carolina and half of his body on South Carolina. I'm thinking Stanley might be on his way to cousin Brittany at FSU.
On to KJ's Expo project . . . she came home today w/ a 2nd place ribbon! She was so excited! Chris picked her up at the bus stop this afternoon and the 2 of them tried to trick me. He walked in the door first and all I could hear him say was "it's OK honey. You'll do better next year." She was pretending to be upset and then she pulled the 2nd place ribbon from her back pocket and said, "Boo-Ya!!!"
