twelve-twelve-twelve

"Miss Farrell, we can write the date and not have to worry about what order we put it in!"

"Miss Farrell, did you know that it's 12/12/12 and that this is the last time in a century that it will happen again? Because there's no 13/13/13." 

"Will you tell us when it's 12:12pm so we can cheer?"


Today was a pretty significant day.


It was spent:
  • hanging out with twelve really cool kids
  • connecting our reading story about volcanoes to the Truth that nature is powerful and amazing because it was created by a mighty God (who is still actively involved in it) and was made to glorify Him [Psalm 24:1-2, Isaiah 45:18, Psalm 65:5-13, Psalm 104:14-30, Luke 19:28-40, Jeremiah 51:16, Psalm 145:21]
  • giving pushes on the swings during recess duty
  • hearing high pitched screams from the first graders after we counted down to 12:12pm and 12 seconds in the lunch room
  • making Christmas plans :)
  • interviewing a potential new third grade student
  • relaxing after work and watching 12 Angry Men (an unintentional connection to the date)
  • catching up on friends' blogs and finding re-postworthy stuff like this:
           


How did you spend your once-in-a-century December day?
