my grandma sue was in town this week. i finally got to see her again, it's rare that i get to see her. we went out for dinner and caught up on a lot family talk. it was so great to see her. it's been way too long. i'm hoping that if i get to take a trip to florida in march/april, i'll get to catch up to her again.

i also learned a valuable lesson about cookies this week. i decided i wanted to make some cookies for work, sue, my aunt eileen and the firehouse. i didn't know how many one batch would make but i knew i needed more, so i doubled the batch. the problem was that i had so much cookie dough that i had to split it into two bowls. 14 dozen cookies later, everyone loved them!

i also, as the non teacher of the classroom, started a marshmallow fight today. i had meredith come into the class armed and ready and the kids were armed and ready and they all just threw marshmallows to their hearts content. it was a great day!
