Mother's Day Weekend











As usual our weekend was busy. Noah had three friends over for a slumber party Friday night to celebrate his 13th birthday. They went to see "X-Men Wolverines," had a water balloon fight, watched "Die Hard" movies, plowed through a ton of food, and slept just a little. We returned all the boys to their parents at football sign-ups Saturday morning.

Noah's baseball team won another nailbiter game Saturday. It was a beautiful sunny evening. They won 8-7. Noah hit two, two RBI singles, including the game winning hit in the top of the 6th inning.
Alyssa is sporting a new spring haircut. She took her Advance Placement U.S. History test on Friday. She feels really good about the essay section. Now we just have to wait for the results in July.

My wonderful family got me a Wii Fit for Mother's Day. We had a great time hanging out in our pajamas exercising till 11 this morning. They also took me to Jimmy's for Italian food for dinner, and then we went to Cama Beach State Park to see the newly opened cabins. We've decided we want to rent one when the weather gets nicer.

Work is a trial. Budget cuts, staff cuts, and kids with serious spring fever make each week seem longer than the last. Six of our district's 13 fourth grade teachers got their RIF notices this past week. We all have a day-long science meeting on Thursday. That should be a laugh a minute. The one bright spot at work is the incubator full of duck eggs in my classroom. Hopefully we'll be welcoming a dozen ducklings in a couple of weeks.

Those cabins look like fun. Maybe instead of camping we should go there. Glad you had a nice Mother's day, I think you'll love Wii fit. Grayson and I are champs at hula hoop and step aerobics.
