Chancellor Klein Announces Schools Closure Tomorrow
Due to anticipated inclement weather conditions, all New York City public schools will be closed tomorrow, February 10, 2010. All after-school activities, PSAL events, and all other events taking place in school buildings will also be cancelled. While travel conditions to school in the morning may not be difficult, the weather is expected to worsen as the day progresses, complicating dismissal. We are making this decision today to give parents as much time as possible to make alternative plans for tomorrow.

Princeton
Our friends planned out a surprise group date for several people in our ward. They wouldn't tell us what we were going to do but they did tell us to dress warm and to be prepared to have fun! The surprise ended up being a visit to Princeton and a ice hockey game. We were definitely surprised and we had a lot of fun. Princeton's campus is by far the most beautiful campus I have ever seen. Robert enjoyed the hockey!

Quotes.. Anybody????

I love this girl (my sister in-law)! She is beautiful and has a heart of gold. You will never see her or leave her without getting a great big hug. For being so young she is already so driven and self motivated. It makes me love her even more that she loves quotes and has quotes all over her room. She emailed me for some more quotes to put on her wall. I thought it would fun to get my fellow bloggers favorite quotes to give to her. So,
ADD YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE... YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT YOU HAVE READ A THOUSAND TIMES AND IT STILL INSPIRES YOU! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! XOXOXO

Toys R' Staples

I told my kids that I am going to open a toy store and make MILLIONS by selling all the toys I have taken away from them this year.
Any takers.......?
East New York
I have worked in East New York for almost 2 years now. I am so used to everything that I forget what a crazy place it is. I needed to get some pictures of the neighborhood for one of my lessons so I hid my camera inside my coat with the lens sticking out. (You need to be careful... I have seen people get shot for less than a stick of gum in this place.) I can't even begin to tell you the not-normal things I have seen and experienced here.
