Guess Who????

This was a post I received from Nicole that I had to pass on...
Hi guys,Today, when the kids got to preschool,we noticed that Liam the Leprechaun had been there...there was glitter everywhere and green paint spilled with little green foot prints everywhere...I was reminded of a few years ago when a certain blue eyed leprechaun with a fantastic smile delighted our preschoolers by wreaking the most havoc anyone had seen in a long time including (but not limited too)..green pee in the toilet and gold flecks everywhere! It was a fantastic memory...We miss her but our memories keep her with us.

That's "Our Girl"!!! I can hear her laughter at this memory and many others.

Sweet dreams.
Pray ON!

WOW! Green Pee!?!?! I haven't used that one with my Kindergarten students yet. They already have a hard enough time letting go of St. Patrick's Day after we have made such a production of it. For several days after, we are tortured by constant Leprechaun sightings. "Mrs. Sandoval, Mrs. Sandoval, I think I saw the Leprechaun on the playground." "I saw him in the library." "Hey my pencil is missing. It must have been the Leprechaun!" "Did you hear that noise? It has to be the Leprechaun." Hopefully by the end of the week, the Leprechaun will have worn out his welcome. I think the green pee would prolong his departure by at least a day or so. YIKES! I better not. Not sure if I'm up to it. Just kidding! We will be having plenty of fun. I will have to run the toilet tampering by the other teachers to see what they think. Happy St. Patrick's Day Goodells!
Love,
Tonya Sandoval & Family

Loving the stories. My son Tyler is hot on the trail of the little green guy and been looking for almost a week now. Then someone sent me a picture of one at a local pub and that affirmed it. To much fun. We will do the green pee next year.

On another note Larry finished up his cyber knife today and all is well he will get another pet scan in 2 months and they are talking about oral chemo in the interim. Keep those prayers coming they are working. They thing his pain may be caused from a hernia and now they can treat it better.

I saw that Robynn's Birthday is coming up and we will cintinue to pray for all of your stength in this time. I was not aware that Kelly's was coming too.

My recomendation is to make Robynn's cake that I have heard about many times on here and party for them both.

Green pee...that's hilarious! Isn't it funny how kids love this holiday so much? Today, I told my 3rd graders that a sneaky little leprechaun stole the homework I had copied, so they wouldn't have anything to work on tonight. Of course that met huge cheers and clapping! Then, one of my students said she saw the leprechaun leaving the classroom in a hurry and he was drunk!! Uhm...er...ok...not sure what to say about that! Anyway, I love hearing stories about Robynn and how thoughtful she was in her efforts to make the best of every day. I'll drink a green beer for her tonight!

This morning, one of the teachers came walking out of the restroom with the giggles. I had to check it out for myself. You got it, green pee in all of the "Teacher Toilets." We had a super fun day. I thought of you guys. Just to make sure that tomorrow is somewhat normal for my teaching partner... Before I went home today, I left a note on the white board from the Leprechaun. It clearly stated that he would not be around until next year as he needed to get back to Ireland to check on his gold and get some much needed rest. Hopefully, your family is also getting some much needed rest. You deserve if more than any family I know!
Thinking of you!

Oh how well I remember the green pee at pre school and how Robynn just cracked me up with her laughter and what a WONDERFUL MEMORY for me as well and all the gold rocks that another dad had sprayed painted gold and were put in the sand box for the kids to discover and guess what we did that this year as well and I can still hear Robynns voice as she would dig the gold out of Hailey's pockets of her coat or where ever she had them...oh the fun and how I so miss her and her love to make each day special.
I am so sad without her but her life is a light that shines so bright and I thank God every day for her and all of you that she has made an impact on.
Praying in hope and love and for Larry---hip hip horray....Keep your eyes upwards.
I love you all,
Solider Miss Denise

P.S. Monday was 4 weeks that my little Alexa has been seizure free-Praise Our Lord-keep up the prayers please,and thank you.

I still can't believe it was 3 months yesterday that Sweet Robynn made her transition to be with God.

I am holding your family & Kelly's in prayer for the days ahead. I hope that as these 'dates' approach... that your minds & hearts are filled with all of the joys,smiles, and love that you all shared.

Love & friendship~

Hi Shelley, it's good to know everyone is hanging in there and making the most of every day. There is a new song on the radio "Sissy's Song" and I can't help but think it was written for Robynn.
--I'm going to try the green pee next year, what a hoot :)
