new years resolutions

here are mine:
-cook something new once a week, as i blogged about a few days ago
-work out (run or use our new wii fit) 3 times a week
-love my husband a little better each day
-do sit ups/upper arm exercises as much as possible (i know, i know. this isn't measurable or specific enough to qualify as a good goal...)

on a similar note, i made what i think is a super adorable bulletin board outside my classroom this week. the title is "a great bunch of resolutions". i had the kiddos write their new years resolutions on a small piece of white paper, then they each glued the white paper to a colorful balloon i cut from construction paper. i stapled the balloons in a messy line across the board, then added curling ribbon to each. i collected the strings into three bunches and stapled them together. maybe i'll remember to take a photo this week!

(btw: the kids basically had NO idea what a resolution was... one wrote "my new years resolution is to go to new york." another said they wanted to play Wii more often... haha)
