Thanksgiving...

I have a lot to be thankful for these days. One of the things that I am especially thankful for my two kids. They remind me everyday that prayer works. I prayed so hard for these little angels. I love how they are so much like a real brother and sister. They really lighten my life.
 One of my favorite things that I learned how to make is apple pie. I learned this from one of my college roomies. I still make it every Christmas and Thanksgiving. The best time to eat though is for breakfast with some milk. Yum! Lyndee is always my little helper. We have a great time baking and cooking. We talk about things and I show her how to do certain things. I know that as she gets older this will be a treat for both of us.
 Brayden helped Lyndee and me stack the apples in the pie crust. Then we rolled it out together. We even put a dough apple on the top.

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...
