Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I had started a post earlier but for some reason my computer shut down my internet window - very irritating. Today was a PD day so I got to have all three kids home with me. Sonora and I did one of the craft kits that she received for her birthday. It's a fairy doll.

Yesterday I went with Sonora's class when they went skating. I would have liked to actually go skating but not with Ella strapped to me. I'm looking forward to when Ella's old enough for skates. When we got back to the school I visited Ian's class for their party. It was a good thing too. There are enough kids that still have trouble reading that it was nice to have an extra adult telling them who's names were on the valentines. Usually I like to have the kids make their own valentines or we'll do some up on the computer. This year I splurged and bought 'tattoo' valentines - very exciting. Sonora made little dolls out of styrofoam balls for her teachers and educational assistants in her class. Here's a picture of one of them. I should have taken a picture of them all. One had a dress made of red feathers - that one was my favourite.

Ruby, on another thread I remember someone saying that they open their word processor (Word, Wordperfect ...) while reading through posts. When they want to make a comment they just put it in a word processing document. When they want to post it they simply copy and past it into the reply box. It sounded like a great idea. Of course, I've never been on the ball enough to do it myself.
