Back to Normal and the Epitome of Stupidity

January 25, 2009

Medieval Festival: Kayla’s team finally had their Middle Ages Festival after being cancelled twice because of the unbearable cold. J She was one of the “ladies” so she got to wear a beautiful dress. They had a King and Queen, guards, Lords and Ladies, and even peasants. They have a talents show and even do a procession through the school. They have a big lunch too. Kayla said it was so much fun! The pictures aren’t very good because each time I walked in, a whole bunch of kids would start yelling “Hi Mrs. Hart!!”, “Hey, look, its Mrs. Hart”. So, I had to sneak pictures so I wasn’t a distraction.

Geography Bee: Another teacher and I ran the school Geography Bee this week. It was so fun and all the kids did such a great job. We start Battle of the Books on February 4 and I will be running most of the matches. I am very excited about that too.

Pinewood Derby: Tyler had his final pinewood derby. He didn’t win, but he sure made a sweet looking car. He was so proud of it. It lasted over 2 hours which I was not happy about since my book was in the car but I wasn’t willing to go out in the -20 wind-chill to retrieve it.

Basketball: Tyler FINALLY had a game on Saturday!! Almost every game and practice this season has been cancelled because of weather. He made three baskets!!

Epitome of Stupidity: Ok, so here is my embarrassing moment of the week. I had to race to go to the bathroom between two classes (they only have a 4 minute passing period so you have to be quick) When I was done, my cell phone fell into the toilet!!! I gasped VERY loudly, grabbed it quickly and then freaked because I am a MAJOR germaphobe! I dried to dry it and clean it (as well as disinfect my hands about 20 times) but it was to no avail. It died a slow and agonizing death. I thought I would die the two days I went without one. I didn’t realize what an appendage it had become. I am proud to announce that I went and bought a new slide phone and am now back in the loop.

Dog-sitting: We babysat Whitney and Taylor again, this time for 9 days while their owners went to Cancun (insert massive jealousy). They are very well behaved and Alayna sure loves when they would run into her room to wake her up each morning.

Talk: Marisa gave a great talk in church today about the new YW value: virtue. You should ask her for it.

I guess that’s our week in a nutshell. Would LOVE to hear from everyone else!!!
