The Cobia Family: November 2011

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

The Holiday Season is Here...

{How do I know?}

Because these are in stores...

I saw this idea on Pinterest and had to do it. I love the look of large canvas photos but hate the price. So I made my own. Online at Sam's I uploaded a photo to be enlarged. I had it made to be a 20 x 30. I picked it up and it only cost me $7! I had an old canvas that I layed on the top of the picture for size.

I cut the picture to the size of the canvas, even a little smaller than the canvas.

Then I got me some of this...

I sprayed the canvas with the glue and layed the picture on it, getting it straight.

Then hung it! I think it look sperfect!!

Happy Birthday Lauren...

Happy birthday to a wonderful sister...

You Know You are a Teacher When...

You get a secret thrill out of laminating things.
You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one belongs to the child out of line.
You walk into a store and hear the words, “It’s Ms./Mr. ____________ and know you have been spotted.
You have 25 people who accidentally call you Mom/Dad at one time or another.
You can eat a multi-course meal in under 25 minutes.
You’ve trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of the day, lunch and planning period.
You start saving other people’s trash, because most likely, you can use that toilet paper tube or plastic butter tub for something in the classroom.
You believe the Teacher’s Lounge should be equipped with a margarita machine.
You want to slap the next person who says, “Must be nice to work 7 to 3 and have summers off”.
You believe chocolate is a food group.
You can tell if it’s a full moon without ever looking outside.
You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says, “Boy, the kids are sure mellow today.”
You feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behavior when you are out in public.
You believe in aerial spraying of Ritalin.
You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.
You spend more money on school stuff than you do on your own children.
You can’t pass the school supply aisle without getting at least 5 items!
You ask your friends to use their words and explain if the left hand turn he made was a “good choice” or “bad choice.”
You find true beauty in a can full of perfectly sharpened pencils.
You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer.
You understand, instantaneously, why a child behaves in a certain way after meeting his/her parents.

from our family to yours...

Happy 30th Drake!

You are the BEST husband and father I have ever met (well, close runner up to my Dad). I am so proud of how far we have come. We have a wonderful family, a relationship with God, great friends, and a great relationship. I hope that the next 30 is wonderful!

Love, McKeever and Grayson
