The district cancelled school, thereby extending next week&#8217;s vacation just a little bit longer.  I was a little bummed because today is Valentine&#8217;s Day and we had a kindergarten party planned, but apparently the Superintendent didn&#8217;t take that into consideration!  Geesh!  Eve&#8217;s teacher bumped their party up a day, though Eve forgot and didn&#8217;t bring in her Valentine&#8217;s cards.  So now we have mine for two classes (K and 5th), Lex&#8217;s, and Eve&#8217;s all in a big pile on the counter.  Everyone will celebrate at school on the 24th. :)  <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11694\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1035.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11694\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1035-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"valentines\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1035-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1035-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1035-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I made little Valentine&#8217;s for my fifth graders.
