Peanuts Christmas

My little man insisted on watching the Peanuts Christmas. At the end of the movie, they were singing Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. It totally brought me back to 1st ward in Eagar, AZ. I was not a member of the LDS church yet but I went on the Young Women activities with my best bud, Bobbie. I especially loved the combined activities because we were alittle boy crazy (okay, alot). Anyways, we went Christmas caroling on a back of semi-trailer sitting on hay bales freezing our bums off throughout our ward. It was the best! I really loved going out and singing Christmas carols down the street. Even though I was investigating the church, activities like that made me feel without a doubt the holy spirit. I always try to recapture the way I felt when I first investigated the church. That is when I felt most intuned with the Lord and the spirit. I have yet to do that here in Idaho. But I am trying....

And I thought my ward was the only one doing the freezing/caroling thing!!

Is that the Peanuts cartoon where Linus goes on the stage and recites the Christmas story? A couple years ago I was going through a really rough patch, and when that Christmas special came on tv, that one little part did so much for my spirit! Hang in there- I don't know why we all go through spiritual valleys. They're pretty miserable, and hopefully things will get better soon!! I love peeking in on you and your family! I want to know your adoption story!

Busy week

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
