Spring Break by Dana and Luisa

So the Music Teacher at school noticed about a month ago that I had a couple little ones that needed some extra love on the weekends so she started sending Dana the dragon and Luisa the Pink bird home with them. And because I am a teacher that loves to make kids think I sent home a journal for them (aka their parents) to write out what happened with the puppets over the weekend.

It has been super cute I have loved all of the kids drawings.

Well Spring Break came and I told Ms. Karen (the music teacher) that she shouldn't send the puppets home with the kids over the break. For reasons like it was really long time to keep up with them, they might lose them or forget about them, the parents would kill me if they had to journal for the entire week.

So being the fabulous teacher that I am (ok so maybe just the over achiever that I am) I took both Dana and Luisa with me skiing.

Now y'all know I am forgetful so there was no way they were actually going to the slopes so Poppy, Momma, Sarah, SuSu and AddieMae helped me take the pictures in the back yard of the cabin.


Here is the Dana and Luisa Spring Break Story: (the version my kids are getting to hear and see on Monday)

Ms. Kaitlin took us to Pagosa Springs Colorado. When we left it was really early so we slept the whole way up the mountain.

We hung out and played in the snow on for the first couple of days of our vacation.

We made a snowman!

Ms. Kaitlin got stuck in the snow while we were playing. Silly Ms. Kaitlin!

Then we went snowboarding. Ms. Kaitlin's Poppy let us borrow his snowboard since he wanted to switch to skis. We were awesome snowboarders. We worked together to make it all the way down the mountain. I am so glad Luisa and I chose to be friends and solve our problems on our own so that we could go super fast down the mountain! Ms. Kaitlin told us to be extra careful because she could not find a helmet for us to wear. We promised that we would be extra super super extra careful. When you snowboard you should ALWAYS wear a helmet especially if you are under the age of 10! Just like you ALWAYS wear a helmet when you ride your bicycle or your scooter!

This with Luisa and I snowboarding down a Double Black Diamond.

This is us waiting at the bottom for Ms. Kaitlin and Poppy to catch up!

Here we go again! We love Snowboarding!

So after we snowboarded we were super tired. So we rested while Ms. Kaitlin and Poppy went skiing. We probably should have gone with her because when she came back she was hurt.

Ms. Kaitlin hurt her knee and didn't really feel like playing with us so we sat on the couch with her and watched a movie. Luisa and I helped Ms. Kaitlin feel better because we gave her big hugs and were her friend even though she was hurt and couldn't play with us.

We had so much fun with Ms. Kaitlin and her family. Baby AddieMae was super cute and really liked it when Luisa would squeak her beak! We tried to take a picture with Baby AddieMae but she was REALLY hungry so Poppy tried to make her happy while her Mommy was busy taking pictures of us.



****This will not be shown to my kids but it is the reason I make children wear helmets when skiing or snowboarding or riding a bike or on their scooter or rollerblading or anything else!****




Love,
Dana the Dragon
(not dinosaur like Ms. Kaitlin thought! She really is silly!)
