RANDOM!

We had such a fun weekend. We started out watching "How To Train Your Dragon" with Jess, Trevor and Ethan on Friday night. Saturday we were booked...it started with a 9.5 mile run in the morning then meeting up with the boys at the park, donuts, tutoring and then off to the golf course for my first round of real golf with Amanda and Chad. That night we had friends from work over for a super fun game night and finally went to bed around midnight! SO FUN!!!!
Woot! Woot! Golfing for the first time....
Amanda actually beat everyone! I did terrible, but I am determined to do better next time.
It was quite comical!
This year I decided to spice up my classroom with some extreme fun! I love games, so I figured out how I could incorporate game into my lessons. We started with Sorry, then Chutes and Ladders. We are now moving onto CANDYLAND and I have to say that I am SUPER PROUD!!! Chris helped me make my color dice, because I always thing throwing a dice is much more fun than picking a card. I will have to get a pic of my other gmaes soon. It is super fun and it keeps the kids engaed which is so good. They actually fight over who gets to answer my questions. Can't get better than that! Candyland: Each city/town/place they get that kind of candy!
I heart my Lollipop Lane!

On a side note: We LOVE having CHRIS back! He is so much fun!!! And he gives the BEST horsie rides! He can even do double and make it fun!!!

Calculators Baby!

Alright STOP!
Calculate and listen
We are backin the greatest invention.
Numbers, grab a hold of you tightly
Haunting your dreams both daily and nightly
Will it ever stop?
Yo, I don't know
With this gizmo they will slow
To the extreme you calculate your decimal
You got your answer and glow like a candle
DANCE
Rush long division of gloom
No more killin your brain with fractions of doom
DEADLY, when left to your mind
The wrong answer you'll always find
Love it or leave it
It is the only way
To get your answer without having to pray
Any math problem
Yo, I'll solve it
Check out my skills with my calc I'll resolve it!
Calculators Baby! My last performance as a Logartithm was on Friday. Here is my AMAZING math dept + 1 science nerd :) We made break away MC Hammer pants and changed songs half-way through, but the beginning was our rap to the tune of Ice, Ice, Baby! This is one of the things that I will really miss when I leave this year. Maybe I'll make a guest appearance. Ha!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

We are so excited to announce that our daddy came home this week! It has been so much fun to have him back with us. The boys have especially enjoyed him. Daddy knows how to do all the fun things that boys like to do! We are so glad to have you home! Happy Birthday Chris!!!!
To our daddy: We love you!

My little eyes are watching,
My ears are listening too.
They take in everything
That you say and do.

My little hands are eager
To do the things you do.
I'm hoping and I'm dreaming
I'll grow up just like you.

I am just a little guy
Who knows that you are wise
You'll teach me what I need
For someone just my size.

I'm a bright eyed little fellow
Who is watching what you do
And I'm waiting for the day
I'll be grown up just like you
