teacher's day 2010

this past friday, november 19, we celebrated teacher's day at CIS.  (it's actually on november 20 which fell on a saturday this year).  so, we had a teacher's day assembly where all of the teachers were given flowers and cake and my kids brought me so many wonderful gifts and cards!  i got earrings, chocolate, decorations, cookies, flowers, lotion, and a necklace.

happy teacher's day!

mr. adam and ms. rita are twins!

then, at the end of the day, we had the most rain that i have ever experienced!  torrential down-pour may even be an understatement!  of course this rain happened just at the time that we were supposed to be getting kids on the bus so that made leaving school very exciting!  as we brought our classes down to the front of the school, jeremy and three vietnamese guys who work at our school ushered the ids out, one group at a time under the huge sun umbrellas from the pool.  it was such a sight!  i wish i had my camera!  however, we decided that this rain proved just how good we are at dealing with chaos!  we rocked that rain storm! 

of course we then had to get home in the rain which was insane but kind of hilarious all at the same time.  even with our ponchos were were like drowned rats!  the splash from cars and other bikes going by us would actually go up to our heads!  AWESOME!

one of my gifts.  it's solar powered and dances!

two of my kids from last year brought me a card and a flower.  how cute?!?!
