Glue stick chapstick, Prison Break, and a black eye

September 23, 2007

Two-Week Update of the Harts:

On Monday, Tyler’s class put on a constitution play. He was John Blair. They did such a cute job. I video taped it and will post pictures to the website.

As part of Tyler’s Faith in God requirements, he wrote and created a play on Heavenly Father’s creation that he, Kayla, and Alayna put on for us. It was so cute. However, we ran out of videotape so I missed that one.

Tyler, Kayla, and Alayna created a dance concert that they put on for us Saturday night. We did get this one taped and it was very entertaining. I got some great pictures too. You should see Tyler do his version of hip-hop. Its hilarious!!!

Marisa auditioned for chamber orchestra. She is now the second chair of the 1st violin section in the whole school! She is so proud- that is a huge accomplishment. And yes, she even beat Henry;)

Kayla is starting on the school dance team in October. I think she has decided just to stick with that and band for right now. She is LOVING middle school so far!

Alayna got sick this week with a bad cold and had to miss two days of school. She is feeling better although her nose is running non-stop and is now complaining about an earache. Also, yesterday, Kayla was playing with a gun that shoots out balls. Somehow “accidentally” she shot one smack into Alayna’s eye. So, now she has a black eye starting. Lovely!

I have still been subbing quit a bit. Any spare time I have is spent studying. Subbing is always a unique experience. This week I had a student use a glue stick as chap stick and then he was shocked later when his lips wouldn’t open! I also had a kid tell me I was the best “gansta teacher” in the whole school. I still don’t know what that means, but he assured me it was a good thing!

We had a HUGE “Survivor” party this week to celebrate the premiere. We met two other families at the new pizza joint by our house (that just opened this week by a new family in our ward) Then we all came here, watched survivor, and stuffed ourselves full of desserts. What a fun night!!

Bob ended up helping that family again with their roof last Saturday. The dad fell off the roof and shattered his hip socket. He has been in the hospital all this week, had surgery, and will have to go through 12 weeks of recovery. Like I said weeks ago, that is a job that should have been hired out. I am just so glad it wasn’t Bob who fell off the roof!!

Bob and I started watching the series Prison Break. We ordered it from Netflix and have been absolutely LOVING it!! What a brilliant concept. We are also excited about all our shows starting again this week.

Our best friends here are moving into a rental house while they build their new home, so we spent most of yesterday helping them move.

Okay, That is our fast summation of the week. A special HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Grandma Ribera and James this week!!! Hope everyone is having a great week and we hope to hear from you all soon.
