Teacher Appreciation and Tail Wagging Tuesday!

Has anyone received any special gifts or appreciation this week?  Our school PTO provided a breakfast for the staff Monday morning and they are also providing a lunch Thursday afternoon....so sweet!  We have a total female staff in our building besides the phys ed teacher and our principal.  Our principal decided to give us some "pampering" this week and left some Bath & Body Works soaps and lotions in our restrooms along with super soft TP and hand towels!  It's the little things in life, right?  :)  I also got this sweet chocolate rose from one of my students.

Now onto Tail Wagging Tuesday, hosted by the lovely CMae!  Click the picture below to head over and link up.  This week's topic is 'The Look' Your Pet Gives You.




Chip and Dixie have many looks, but the most common is the head tilt.  They give me this look when I say "outside", "potty", "walk", "ride", etc....basically anything exciting!

Dixie also has a sleepy "Cuddle with me, mommy because I'm not moving" look (the side-eye):

Here is Chip's guilty look (ears back).  In this picture he was guilty of not sharing the food ball with his sis....he's still learning how to share.:)

I also have to include this awesome gift my sister got for me.  As most of you know, I'm Emily and my husband is Nick.  Turns out, there is an Emily and Nick running for student government on her campus!  She picked up this free t-shirt for me and I love it, too funny!  Sorry for the backwards mirror shot...it says "Vote Nick and Emily"!

I'm feeling anxious because my district has a levy on the ballot today.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everyone gets out and votes YES, but I won't find out until later tonight.  Cross your fingers for me so there are more jobs (or at least no cuts) for next year!
