Roomates and Future Spouse BEWARE!

I have a problem! A shoe problem. This is not the typical shoe problem that most girls have. I do not have piles and masses of shoes, but I have a problem putting them away. They just seem to come off my feet where ever they may and remain there until a good collection forms and then I fill my arms up with one big load and put them away. However, this fix does not last long, it is only a matter of days before half the collection is out again. I remember this being a problem when I lived at home. Mom would occasionally remind me that my shoes needed to be dealt with. I pointed this problem out to Cambree and she acknowledged that at least I was doing better at keeping it contained to my bedroom instead of the entry and living room. So that is my confession and my warning.

Spring photos

We were learning about flowers in my preschool class as part of our spring unit, so we went on a "spot-the-flower-walk". Here are some of the photos I got, when we got back to the school we printed them off and hung them in the classroom.

Time to Catch Up

These were my Easter creations. I loved the spring colors.

We had a claymation FHE were each group created a scene of their choice. This was the result of my group's team effort. The figure on the left is a smurf, then there is Winnie the pooh and last but not least is the blue-footed-boobie.

For St. Patrick's day the preschool I work at participates in a parade downtown. This is the balloon arch that Lori and I made for it. It was super easy to make. I did try inhaling some helium while we were doing it and almost passed out. I am weak sauce. I don't think I will try that again anytime soon, even if it does make your voice sound cool.

Heidi, my roommate, and I enjoying breakfast before the parade. It was so cold that morning! I had to wear a jacket but decided to move my green shirt to the outside so I looked festive.

This is my friend Manelle and I together on top of the Conference Center. The sunset that night was phenomenal.

This photo was taken as part of an FHE activity. This little house is outside the construction trades building. I only wish the door had not been locked so I could have actually played inside.

The Education of Young Children

A couple of weeks ago I spent some time in my classroom switching out some of the toys. I grabbed some blocks from the supply room and threw them in the class. The next morning I started taking a closer look at the blocks and realized that I could not in good conscience leave them there, however I think they offer some great entertainment.


































My personal favorites: the shrimp, the battleplan, the missile, the electric torch and the beer. Honestly who puts a mug of beer on a child's play toy?!
I ended up editing them with a black permanent marker so the kids could still enjoy the building pleasure.

I'm freaking out!!!!

Tonight I had the first piece of hard evidence that I am in fact getting older! I found my first grey hair! Where should it make its appearance? Right smack dab in the middle of my forehead.

Some would pull it and deny they even found it, but that just seems fundamentally wrong. So the hair will stay and I will try to accept my fate to some day be a aged woman.
