Spring has Sprung. But it's still freakin freezing.

So tomorrow is not only the first day of March, nine days until the big 21, and the two month milestone for England and I, but is actually the first day of spring HOORAH. 

It's still likely to rain five out of seven days each week..... Buuuuut....... It's spring, the flowers are in bloom, sometimes the sun shines and everyone knows that just around the corner summer is waiting. Which means..... Picnics on the common, sunglasses, one less layer of clothing and.... The most anticipated reunion of all, Harry will finally be in Europe. 

The first week back at school after the holidays has been a good one, although Jordan and I both managed to catch some kind of flu and didn't make it in on Monday I was more than ready to see the girls smiley faces on Tuesday morning. I was met with hugs and asked 'where were you yesterday Miss Cragg' several times, got the down low on all the girls holiday goss and generally just enjoyed being back into the routine. 

A few cute moments have included.....

- a little kindergarten student telling me that she didn't like her snack and didn't want to eat her pomatoes (they were tomatoes)

- a year two student told me that she loved it when she got to read to me

- the students were practicing their skipping and asked me if I could show them how I skip. I did... Without falling over (extra points to me) and they all stood there in awe

- two girls bumped their elbows and ran over to me quite upset, I rubbed them better and a few minutes later noticed that they were putting wet paper towel on them and saying to each other, oh wow that looks so much better already

- student falls over and gets upset because she can.... Comes over to me (I saw her trip, she was fine until someone asked her if she was ok, standard response) I look at her leg and say you're ok you're a tough nut, she's still sulking I say to her, what are you?! And she replies I'm a tough nut, giggles, and runs off to play 

We had one really nice day this week where the sun shone non stop and everyone was in a better mood for it, it's amazing how much the weather can change the way you feel.
