I heart advent calendars!

My three year old, J, went from counting and recognizing 1-10 to counting and recognizing 1-24 in one day!  Today we put up the tree and advent calendars and she is studying those things!  We have three.  The first one you can find on pinterest here.
 I think you can find this one at Oriental Trading Company.
 and this one is a magnetic, add a piece a day, nativity scene one. 

I'm so excited J is counting and recognizing to 24!!!
and I am enjoying the tree my girls decorated for me.  Can you tell with the ornaments at the bottom?  Happy Holidays everyone!

The teacher has lice :/

You itched your head just reading that didn't you??  Lice does not discriminate.  Anyone can get it.  Even me. So we have A LOT of hair at our house and about a year ago I decided it would be a good idea to grow out my hair to see how long I could go before I couldn't stand it anymore.  It is a year and a half later and I had/have lice.  Nice experiment huh?  So my daughter's Kindergarten teacher is a good friend of mine and the day after Thanksgiving break came the e-mails.  "What a day, I've sent 2 home with lice and another 2 told me that they spent Thanksgiving break bagging up toys and shampooing with special shampoo." and then "5th one just went home."  I raced home at 5:00 to discover that my kinder had a head full and guess who slept in a hotel bed with her over Thanksgiving?  Yes me!!  Time to freak out.  Please don't do this.  It doesn't help whatsover and it will be OK, I promise.   If you are reading...
