Happy Birthday to me! :)

It's not everyday a girl receives this many flowers- but on your birthday in Latvia, although you can kind of expect it, it's still an overwhelming joy. This picture shows all the flowers I received today from my students. I can't get over the pink roses- there must be over two dozen. (Um, ok, DS came in and counted- 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

It was also the last day of school today for kids- so we ended the day with our class party. It was fun. I used my magic wand to turn all the kids into first graders, which of course they got right into. There were a couple teary goodbyes at the end, because after all, this is it- I won't be seeing any of these kids anymore! I told them all that they (their parents) know my email and I will wait to hear from them!

Now, tomorrow us teachers will be back for another long work day of tying up loose ends and leaving our classrooms in some state of order- but for tonight- it's time to celebrate! We have our staff party- but of course, I'm going to make everyone celebrate extra hard for me! :)
