Update on Us...

Not much has been going on with us. Lydia is learning more and more each day. She now knows her left from her right. Pretty big step for a 2 year old. Next week we are taking her for a preschool screening at the school. I hope she gets into the program, but if not she'll still go to Tina's (which she loves) and hopefully will get in the next year. I just think she could learn a lot more in that setting. Gail has been working on a tractor and vehicles for other people. He works from 6-2 everyday and then works in the shed most evenings from 6:00 or 7:00 until usually 9:00. Last night he was out there until 3:00 a.m. He didn't have to work today so I guess it was alright. We are getting baby calves now as well. I love to watch them scamper in the pasture. We got a set of twin last week. I'm just making my way through. I currently have a student teacher. She is awesome!! I haven't had to bring a single thing home to grade since she started. I'm worried that we won't have summer school this summer (which I really need to teach). I'm about 99% sure we won't be having it, but I still hold out for that 1%. Oh, we did get a new couch, love seat, and recliner. Well, not new new, but new to us. My brother and sis-in-law got new new and we got their old for a really low price. They are is great shape compared to our old stuff. Our old couch and chair belonged to my grandparents. I remember sleeping on the couch when I was a little kid so I'm guessing at least 25 years old. The love seat belonged to my parents. We bought it off them when we moved into our house. I think it's at least 10 years old. One of these days we'll get something new that we actually go to the store and pick out rather than used, but I'm in no rush. Anyway, that is us in a nutshell for the past several weeks.

Until next time...

SPRING BREAK!!!

In exactly 23 minutes, I'll be on spring break for a week!! I'm WWWWAAAAYYYY thrilled. I have a really long cleaning list, 7 really good books, and a reward day to plan for the entire fourth grade. The cleaning and books I'm looking forward to. The reward day I figure I'll screw up really badly, but not one else wanted to do it. So I guess now one should complain how bad it is - right??
