More early December traditions!

1st Friday of December the tradition is that Papi takes the day off from work and spends his day volunteering at the school as part of the WATCH D.O.G.S. program at Carolina’s school.

So there was Papi at school at 7:10 am greeting families and helping students out of their cars on a foggy, gloomy, rainy, chilly morning.

Then he has several things to help with around the school, at the front office, in Carolina’s classroom, he went to Specials with Carolina (Today it was art and PEWE). He got to eat lunch with the 3rd graders and went to recess with them. Then he helped in the Art classroom and at the Library, recycled, and again was in the car line afterschool helping students get into their cars. Long day for our Hero! I took the picture below in the library with my iPhone (not the best quality) when I went to go grade Math Superstars. Then believe it or not he went to work for a few hours.

While our hero of the day went to work and I finished grading Math Superstars Carolina and I got into the car and ran a few last minute Cookie Mom duties for Girl Scouts. My little camper as we went around Austin fell asleep exhausted in the car…

Then I went to Costco to get some things for tomorrow’s Christmas party, got to eat some samples as I perused through the aisles and then searched for flowers. Every year at the beginning of December I buy a mix of flowers with berries and some pine branches and pine cones to make a Christmasy arrangement. Here’s this years:
