Our Deck


We have been in our house for 5 years now. We are not what you call handy people. It is not that we are lazy. It just doesn't come natural to us in thought and skill. We saw online about this stuff called Restore at Home Depot. Our deck has been looking really sad and needed some stain. We researched over the internet. Most people were satisfied. Then our neighbor did it as well. So we thought why not. We get the west sun and it gets hot. We thought we would go lighter. It came to my mind if we could solid stain our railing white and then do a gray on the bottom. The colors were nice. We are not quite finished. We underestimated how much we needed. We need 1 more gallon to do the job and at 33 dollars a pop for a gallon. We are waiting until pay day. I took plenty pictures of the railing and just one picture of the deck floor. I think it looks great.

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...
