Need Help

Hi Ya'll! I'm doing a little family history and need birth dates, including years! of everyone. I know this is my 3rd or 4th time asking for birthdays, but some of the birthdays I have don't have years. This is what I have so far...nevermind.

I'm missing Travis and Emily, Elijah, and Whitney. So it looks like I'm missing years for most birthdays too, if you wouldn't mind passing those on to me, I'll try to compile them in a file to send to ya'll for your records.

While you're at it, just send me ALL current phone numbers (home, both spouse' cells, etc.) and addresses and an email for each person who owns an email addrses. I'll just start making an address book for our family.

Love you all and can't wait to see you this summer!!!

Teaching is Awesome

My school had a Decades Day during spirit week. I didn't do Hat Day or Crazy Hair Day that week because I am just not sure what a professional teacher should dress like on crazy spirit days. I'm a professional, right? But when multiple 1st graders complained, "just a pony tail with a ribbon on crazy hair day?" I had to make a change....

Presenting the scariest teacher-lady you ever did see...oh, Decades Day!

These are two of my girls who were also 80's girls. 
The reactions of the different age groups was wonderful. Most of the first graders had to ask what year I was from, the school secretary was utterly shocked at the awesomeness of my authentic DARE shirt, the 6th graders just kept saying "awesome" and laughing to themselves because I looked like a fool, and when I walked into a second grade classroom I heard one girl whisper in awe "she's beautiful." Oh, man...that little girl is going to grow up and wear too much make up. 

A few other funny things I have overheard while teaching:

"Have you ever tasted blood from the tooth in your mouth?...It's delicious!"

"My sister's butt is huge." (stated very matter-of-factly)

"Mrs. F. is pregnant. I saw her eating crackers!" (Mrs. F. is not pregnant, however, the teacher who the child was reporting this too was pregnant, which the child did not know, and was at that moment eating saltine crackers)

"Oh, I can't wait to get my nose in this one!" (as he picked up a dinosaur book at his reading group. That one made my day)
