Cinco de Mayo

One of my students invited us over for a "teacher appreciation" dinner. It just happened to be on May 5. They decked out the house with sombreros, streamers hanging from ceiling fans, fresh guacamole, and fun music. Each kid got to choose one other kid from their class to host their teacher. The three teachers of each of their boys came. Truman (lighter hair) invited McKay (darker hair) and his family to be with me. After dinner and visiting, the teachers got to hit the Spongebob pinata. I told a story about my dad getting hit in the face with a dowel during a pinata party one Christmas...hence the catchers masks. Safety first! The pinata had a lot of candy which McKay and Truman grabbed for me as well as lots of pens and SHARPIES! MY FAVORITE! Way to push those 1st and 3rd grade kids out of the way boys...we scored!
