Perhaps I'm a total geek, but I loved school. And even now, as I walk into Amara's school to visit, I'm filled with giddiness.

That's how I felt today as I joined their Halloween party. They were supposed to dress as their favorite storybook character. Each child got to stand up and share about their choice. Then they decorated masks and cupcakes, and then they played a mummy game.

It was a fun day, but can I just say...God bless teachers! I'm SO thankful for Amara's teacher and all those called to be teachers. I am NOT one of those, and by the time we were dismissed, I was more than ready for some peace and quiet!
