Christmas this year should go smoothly. We have a firm plan with all family and we have worked it out that everyone gets a day. So no running around like crazy people on Christmas. We got our tree last weekend and it is a cute little tree. Lucien could care less that we have a tree and that there are presents under it. I figured that he would mess ( Read more... )

We have a snow day today. School has been canceled and it looks like we have at least three inches of snow but I have yet to venture outside to measure. I am going to spend the day hanging out, drinking tea and playing with Lucien in the snow. He loves the snow and wants to eat it.

I hope everyone is having a nice relaxing Thanksgiving Day. We're off today to have Thanksgiving with both families. We couldn't pull it off to have everyone together which kinda sucks because it means that we're rushing all day but I have hopes that today won't be that bad. Morgan and I made two dutch apple pies last night that turned out amazing ( Read more... )

I went swimming with James and Kathy last weekend at Dixon and it was super fun, we're going to go this evening as well and hopefully I will convince Morgan to go too. Heather and I went shopping in Salem yesterday and managed not to buy anything. We went because I am looking for a dress or nice blouse to wear to the SIGA christmas party in a few ( Read more... )

This weekend was my Grandma's 75th birthday. We went out and mini golfed as a family, I had a great time, Morgan on the other hand still detests mini golf. I actually did really well and my Dad beat me by one point. My Mom laughed a lot at Morgan's missed putts and was being really competitive about things which I don't think made him feel any ( Read more... )

Last weekend Heather came over and taught my how to make Japanese Temari balls. They are yarn balls with designed stitched into them and they are easy to make and look really cool. I think I will need to do another learning ball after finishing this first one to make sure that I have everything down on how to make them before moving on to a harder ( Read more... )

It's been two weeks and I am still sick with the nasty virus I had. Now I just cough, have a slightly stuffy nose and my voice goes in and out when I talk a lot. That last one was a bit of an issue yesterday because I was teaching all day ( Read more... )

We saw Burn After Reading last night and it was really strange and very funny. When it was over I think I just shook my head and laughed. Everyone should see this movie. It was well acted by everyone ( Read more... )

I think I should have Morgan make me an icon of Lucien. That would be super cute. My first week back in high school has gone really well and I am enjoying it a lot. On Friday I taught four periods of economics because we had a sub and it was a good time. I have a few kids in a couple classes that know everything and talk a lot. They pretty much ( Read more... )

I went in Wednesday and spent the morning with the teacher I will be working with this year. I am official now, I have my student teacher badge from the school, met all of the administrators and I am creating an assignment for the students to do. Tuesday is the first day of school, it will be Freshman only and since we will teach juniors and ( Read more... )
