What a difference an inch makes...

We were about 1 inch of snow away from a MAJOR meltodown of epic proportions today! Today we woke up to 3- 4 ish inches of snow...Today also marked the beginning of Jack's Student of the Week at school (a week that he has already managed to figure out is a special day short due to the Presidents!)... Today also happened to be the only day that "Dad" could join us for SOW festivities...

We have been SO happy with Jack's teachers and were ridiculously impressed with the efficiency with which they run their classroom...I think I witnessed a miracle, but I am not sure - there were no angels singing or lights shining, but as soon as his teacher said "1,2,3 eyes on me" The whole class stopped what they were playing with and said, "1,2 -eyes on you!" and proceeded to clean up the entire room. just like busy little bees... poof the whole room is clean. I could use some of that magic over here chez P...
We have the whole Star Wars theme going on for the week...Jack had to put together a poster of pictures (which he PRESENTED! to his class! Presented- like i would have lost sleep for 2 nights - he just got up and presented the pictures to his class!He clearly has his daddy's genes there) Naturally - he included a few from Disney where he "got his Jedi Training and defeated Darth Vader." AJ read a Anakin in Action - a family fave...Snack was chocolate covered pretzel "light sabers". Tomorrow we will play Star Wars bingo...

Without getting too cheesy - I can't believe his confidence! J, you impressed me so much today!
