11:11 on 11-11-11

I know it's weird but I still have a favorite number- #11.  It was normally my class number in elementary school.  M's were right around #11 in every class.  And I like to make wishes when that number is repeated- like everyday at 11:11. So when I realized this was the year that it would be 11:11 on 11-11-11 I knew I had  reason for some extra wishing!  And I made my class and Trent get in on it too.  The challenge was to take a picture at exactly 11:11 to show what you were doing.

Proof of the big event!

 At 11:11 am I was teaching reading.  We were in the middle of our weekly reading test.  And yes I made them flip their tests over, gather round, take a quick pic, and then go back to testing.  They were so excited cause some of them are also 11 years old so they felt EXTRA special.  Their teacher felt extra jealous ;)

 Meanwhile... back at home... Trent had taken a personal day for the basement project and was waiting for his parents to arrive.  He was in the middle of lunch as he waited.

 What he was eating at 11:11.

 The bite he took the second it turned 11:11.

And since it happened that night too we also had to document the 11:11 pm shot.  Good thing I set my alarm for 11:09 just in case I forgot... cause after a long week of school, a 5th grade party after school I got to chaperone, then a full belly and a glass of wine... I was OUT.  At 11:11 Trent and Lora were watching something on the DVR and I was conked out in the recliner.  Exciting evening at our house ;)

Here's to hoping everyone's 11:11 11-11-11 wishes come true!
