So long freckle!

Son had this mysterious freckle appear last year on his thumb. We thought it was a blood blister. During the summer, we put a needle to it and it was not a blood blister. SO we took him to the doctor to get a referral to a dermatologist as I was going to one to get my nose freckle checked and my dry patch of skin on my ankle. I called in for a sub and off we went to the doctor's today. I was told that I was the master in freckles. I have them up and down my arms. Anyway, I was fine and got some nice medicine for my ankle.  But son...wasn't so lucky.
Meet Senor Freckle (above)
They drew a circle around Senor Freckle. Then here comes the part where three of us hold him down so Mr. Needle numbs his thumb. Tears form in me as it hurts me to see him in pain. 

The dr. takes a silver rectangle thing out and he cut it out. Now we wait for a couple days to see if it is cancerous or not. Hopefully not! Poor boy was really traumatized and he was upset about having to wear a bandaid for 14 days. I took him to pick out bandaids and we went to McDonald's with him and his sister. It was nice to stay with them today.

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

Image
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...

Huckleberry Pickin'

Image
This past Sunday, we went up Kelly Canyon and picked to our hearts' content (well just a couple of hours). I was so amazed how close to the road they were. This was our first adventure in the woods here in Idaho. We were able to find unpicked over patches of these awesome berries. We were able to pick about 6 cups for free. The kids were able to help us and they had a cool time exploring the woods near us. Here are my battle wounds. Purple fingers. I search the whole forest over for the ripest hucks! We put my visiting mother to work! She did fab and kept Lyndee working. Clayton enjoyed being out in the forest. It was like medicine! Nice and refreshing. The kids were so excited to have free reign. They were able to see all types of plants. I think we might go again this weekend after church...No ditching for us here.
