Rock town

I know, it's been two months. I am a bad, bad blogger. This week has been LEAP testing and I know my kids would rock the test if they would just stop acting out throughout the entire test. No, you are not allowed to get up and scream, break pencils, sing songs (especially songs where you spell out words) or beat on the desk as hard as you can. On Thursday, a really bad thunderstorm came through Baton Rouge. I was in the cafeteria with the kids when the power went out. Of course, everyone screamed, and we tried to corral the kids and get them quiet. One of the teachers at my school raised her arms in the air and began shouting "CHILDREN, IT IS NOT THE THUNDER THAT WILL KILL YOU, IT IS THE LIGHTNING. CHILDREN, LIGHTNING WILL KILL YOU!" I had to tell the crying first graders that she was just being silly. It is the most hilarious thing that has happened in a long time. David and I decided on a whim to come to Little Rock for the weekend. We've enjoyed lots of eating, lots of seeing friends and family, and lots of catching up on sleep. Even though we were only home for 48 hours, it's been pretty sweet. We'll be back in the BR tonight. Next week is Spring break!
