Sunny Days!
Tina's Blog April 18th, 2008After a COLD weekend it has warmed up!
Monday we went back up for Week #9 of my teaching. I only have three more weeks of classes! (And the kids are doing class presentations the next three weeks! I knew I'd be glad I planned that–or copied it from my supervisor's syllabus.) I gave a test and spent the last few days grading that.
Tuesday was MOPS! I got a call Tuesday morning asking if I could prepare my talk for our Topic Tables. That's where several people talk about subjects they know and the women can go from table to table and learn things. I had said I'd do one if she really needed me. We were going to do it May 1st, but our speaker had something come up, so we moved the Tables up. I spoke on Blogging. Yeah, I know, blah. Or, no surprise. I actually do more than blog!
And I'm FAR from an expert! But I shared simple tips on how to start one up. But I spent most of Tuesday nap time figuring out how to make that last 20 minutes. It really wasn't a problem–I should have know I'd have no problem talking about SOMETHING! :-) We did spend the afternoon making a big road on the deck in chalk and the boys had fun playing with that.
Wednesday is a blur! We played outside (Will rode his bike w/ training wheels! He just couldn't get that last summer, so we stuck it away in the garage. He pulled it out last week, hopped on and had no problems!), we made Rice Krispie Treats for Will to bring to Friends Club and I finally got the tests graded. James was feeling better and made some major progress on the dining room floor…I'll update those who'd like to see pictures of that later today.
Thursday we went on a LONG walk, Will riding his bike the whole way. The happy morning was spoiled when he discovered his sandals had given him blisters. He was pretty fussy about it. He ended up going to bed by 6:30 last night, so obviously being tired was part of it. The other noteable thing about Thursday was the boys got out their shorts for the first time! YEA!!!
