Birthday Party!
A Mexican Birthday Party (sort of)!Marion & the other Second Grade teachers
Last night we had a surprise party for our neighbour, Nikki. It was at Lupita & her husband's house. They have one sweet pad! Yvon, a friend from Canada, organized this amazing event - complete with swimming pool and pinata. Fun times.
Nikki smashing the pinata.
Kris is having a GOOD time.
All these teachers rushing for candy like they were kids.
Rockets, Smartie-type candies, and of course, lots of chili-covered candies!
I was once on the path of a (possibly successful) business career before I got sidetracked by a love of teaching. Now, I've "retired" from the workforce and am a stay-at-home mom (read: one income) with two toddlers. We've made some choices so that I can be at home with the kids in one of the most expensive cities in North America. But we're learning along the way that by changing our attitudes and changing how we spend, we can feel like we're living a luxurious life. And we are. We are so blessed. WAY MORE THAN WE DESERVE.
