Jaedin...Braces...Set #2

What did you do on Good Friday? Well, for Jaedin the day wasn't exactly "good". She had her second set of braces put on. Prior to her appointment, we let her pick lunch out. She chose Applebees because she loves their Molten Cake. Her mouth is quite sore but she's been a trooper through it all! We can't wait to see her smile in a year...or so. :)

In true Jaedin fashion, a delicious dessert was thoroughly enjoyed!

Before...

After...

Just as beautiful as ever!

Happy April Fools' Day!

Pretty sure this holiday is rapidly climbing to #1 on my favorite list. :) I love thinking of and acting out pranks...specifically on my own children.

Here's a few of the pranks from this year....

BEFORE SCHOOL

Kids woke up to a hallway lined with stuffed animals. This probably made them laugh the most!

We always lay out school clothes the night before. Hmmm..somehow they all go switched up!

Food coloring in the bottom of the cereal bowl made for a colorful milk surprise!

Pop rocks in the bottom of cups...

Remi wasn't a fan of "popping" OJ

What?! Toilet paper in the toes of our shoes!

AFTER SCHOOL

Oreos + Toothpaste

Not so tasty treat!

Skittles + Reese's Pieces + M&M's

All mixed up...grab a handful!

Yummy treats waiting for the Turner kids to get off the bus. :)

Talin wasn't sure about his red drink

Remi couldn't get it to come out of her straw

Jaedin realized...it's jello!

They may say they don't like my pranks...but I heard the giggles! :)

Bring on the madness...

...of baseball/softball season for all THREE Turner kids. :)

Talin & Remingtin started practices this week. (Jaedin practices year round.)

To say they are excited is an understatement.

First Softball Tournament

Jaedin and her team, Fury, played in their first tournament of the season. It was FREEZING! Extremely cold. Brrrr! The kids and I tried to bundle up, we even used hand warmers. Fury went 1-4 for the weekend but they learned a lot and still had some fun.

Ready to cheer on our #10!

Talin with his buddy, Jacson.

Jaedin with three classmates. 

This girl does gymnastics EVERYWHERE!

Are we excited?!?

You better believe it! We love softball season!

Kansas State Assessments...and so they begin...

I will not get on my soapbox and talk about my true feelings on state assessments...nor will I delight you with my opinion on our current governor, Mr. Sam Brownback, but I will tell you how proud I am of these students for spending multiple class periods (like 8 weeks) on state assessments. They are the true rockstars...I'm just lucky to be their teacher.

I couldn't pick just one of these...so I'll leave you with a couple of funnies. :)
