Highlights of our lives, Part 1

 We bought Lyndee a new dress. She looks so cute in it. I think she grew an inch right after I bought because I feel so looks so big in it.
 I put vinyl sayings on plates for my sis in law to put treats on for her neighbors. I did the same for some of mine. In all, I did about 12 plates or so. They are too time consuming and took me several hours to peel and stick the vinyl. The hard part was cutting it with my cricut. I didn't take a picture of my plates. They rocked because they were a silvery blue.
 I actually bought a gingerbread cottage community. Next year, I am going to buy the huge gingerbread houses for each of them. It was so hard getting my big sausages to grip an itty bitty piece of candy to put on my house.
 Yes, we are on the way out the door to non believers of Santa which scares me. This year, we invited an elf to live with us. It was an unusual experience. It would do naughty things or just sit there staring at me and creeping me out. One day while I was at work, it wrecked my house.

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...
