picking up the pieces, showing you some pics

as of 6 days ago... my job description for the rest of the school year has been simplified to teacher... i'm not directing drama, or setting up art shows or any of that silliness, i am simply a teacher who goes home at the end of the school day and has time for things like grocery shopping or reading. it's for me, the most wonderful time of the school year.

to celebrate my freedom i took a short weekend trip to MN this last weekend to see Ben and Kate and the brilliant kiddos. Here are some picks to prove their adorable existence...
