Christmas Buzz





The sights and sounds are here and the Vossenkuhl kids have come up with a new game. As we drive around in the evenings, we tend to take detours and look at Christmas lights. The kids now have their own rating system. If it has "Wow" factor it gets at least a 75. If it is simple, usually rates below 10. (Our own home doesn't rate very well according to the kids.

The boys were my special helpers in class today. They finished school for Winter Break yesterday. They love to come and help. Joey was in charge of a dice game and Stefan took charge of making Reindeer food. I was so impressed with Joey's ability to keep focused for the day. He read to the kids, got them involved with toys that they don't normally look at and all in all was a great help. Not to say that Stefan didn't do those things, but Stefan has made friends in my class and has a need to socialize with them!

Joe is traveling and the boys are still zinging footballs through the green room. They are calling plays and tackling each other... time to put a stop to that. I don't think that they realize that there is a game on tonight... otherwise they would be begging me to watch it!
