Christmas Break.... ahhh




Well it's Christmas break and it's really nice to be able to get some work done in the office. It feels sometimes like I should have asked Santa for one of those revolving doors like at the mall for my office door. Kind of funny. It's nice to reflect for a couple days here in the office and catch up on some observation and evaluation work and hopefully get some planning done. My wife and I had a great Christmas with our two little ones. I've attached a pic. Well I'm gonna take another day to relax. Have a great break to all of you. Enjoy yourselves.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Why do I swear my building is full of squirrels today? They are wound up. Christmas plus a full moon.... My office had a revolving door on it today. So... What do you do when it becomes "that" time of the year and kids are wound up having problems. Suggestions... are welcome.

Here at Lexington we're putting some of that extra energy into good use through food drives, Project Care (collecting gifts for foster kids), and letting kids work through the natural consequences of bad behaviors.
