Give it a rest!

The Drama Queen's crown is off, her hair is in disarray, her back is screaming for a heating pad, and it is finally quiet.  The school week is over.  The little ones have gone.  Quiet.  Peaceful.  There remains a slight smile as she recalls a comment from a small knight today.  "This is the best day ever."  We celebrated the end our unit study of fairy tales and castles.  The K students were dressed as lords and ladies of Kelley Castle, with recycled curtain vests decorated with felt and jewels (love those hot glue guns!).  Was it worth the energy? Oh, ya. . . . . . . . . .
