Surprise!

I don't know how many of you know that I work part time, Jennifer and I split the work week, so she worked last Tuesday and we had a half day Wednesday.  She calls me Tuesday evening and asks me if I can come in at 12 instead of our normal 1:00 scheduled time because one of the parents needs to talk to me about her child.  I'm thinking "great, now what!" but I didn't really ask too many questions because we have to deal with that stuff on a daily basis so it wasn't a big deal.  It's about 11:00 on Wednesday and I'm getting ready to go in for work and Colton calls me and asks if I want to go eat lunch around 1, I said that should be fine because I have a meeting with a parent at 12 and I should be done by then.  So I get to work and as soon as i walk in the office the phone rings from the kitchen and our cook says the milk man needs me down there because he has a question for me, so I walk down to the kitchen and I pass the room that has the kid in it that I was supposed to be discussing in a few minutes.  I was thinking, that's weird because if his mom set up a meeting at 12 that means she wouldn't bring in her kid until 12 (that's usually what time they get there on a normal basis).  I asked the teacher "has so and so been here all morning?" she was like "ya...why?"  I just couldn't figure out what was going on, it was all just a little too weird.  I continue down to the kitchen and I see balloons sitting on a table and I'm thinking "oh shoot, I bet it's our cook's birthday and I completely forgot!" and all of a sudden Jennifer says "surprise!"  I'm like "surprise for what?" she says "for you!"  They threw me a surprise baby shower!!!  They made chicken spaghetti (my favorite) had salad, garlic bread, chips and dip, and our cook even made a homemade peach cobbler and they had vanilla ice cream to go with it...they know me too well :)  ALL of the teachers were in on it and even the church office came over to eat with us.  There was no parent meeting and Colton was in on it too, he called and made me think that I was eating at 1 so I wouldn't eat lunch before I came to work.  They all pitched in and got us a really nice cash gift which will be SO helpful.  They're so sneaky! :)
