Italian Fun Weekend

So Katie and Wil came into town this weekend. My mom really wanted to go Geocaching, especially since we haven't been in quite some time. The only problem with this plan is that it was REALLY cold outside. We tried a total of 3 caches, the first two were quick finds.


Katie and Wil drove us around and Anna, my mom and I enjoyed our time in the car...away from the crazy cold wind!


By the third cache we were completely frozen. My mom and I were determined to find it, but Katie, Wil, and Anna had a different plan. They drove around to pick us up right when we figured it out. The cache was hidden UP a tree. We are so going to have to go back to find it!

Here's a picture of one of the ones we actually found:



So after our Geocaching adventure we went to dinner at an Italian restaurant my parents just found. Let me start off by saying, if you're Italian-you'd feel right at home. When my dad walked into the restaurant he was greeted with a "Hello Chuck!" That's right...greeted by name. There was a lot of talking wth hands and even some "Mama Mia!"s thrown in there! We then ordered 2 appetizers, but ended up with 5 somehow. The owner kept bringing over more food for us to try. He even brough over a meat platter especially for Anna.


Now this food does not include the actual entres we ate, just the appetizers! We got a meat platter, meatballs, bruchetta, fried pizza dough with cheese and meat, and pepperoni with some pepper olive oil. After we were all stuffed from this food, our real dinner came out. I was so full, I saved most of mine for leftovers.





All in all this was a pretty fun family day!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Sun

We started our study of Space with the Sun. We first read Genesis 1:14-19 and talked about how God created the Sun and the Moon. We then watched this very cute video made by Story Bots. If you haven't seen this show on Netflix, I highly recommend it! I ordered this book off of Amazon and we read the portions about the sun together. Next we read a poem about the sun and they colored a picture of the sun. For Math, we sorted pictures of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Naomi and Isaiah took turns counting how many of each object we had. Isaiah continued counting, while Naomi started to add. How many Suns and Moons are there? How many Moons and Earths are there? Very cute activity that you can find here .  For phonics Naomi and I played this game to practice CVC words. We each drew 5 cards and tried to find a place to put them that made an actual word. We were able to play this game a couple of times! I was very surprised at how much fun Naomi had playing this! When we were finished playing...

21 Weeks Update

I've been really bad about keeping up with these pregnancy pictures...life just gets so crazy sometimes! We had some exciting things happen this week as you can see in the picture. 1- It's a girl! I was completely convinced that we were having a boy. I had boy dreams, no morning sickness, and Jeff comes from a family of 2 brothers and 2 nephews. Needless to say, I was completely shocked! Don't get me wrong, I  am very excited to have a baby girl, just very shocked! 2- I'm halfway through my pregnancy. This is crazy! Time has really been flying! I have a friend at work who is also pregnant and is one day behind me. She brought me a bagel one morning to celebrate our 1/2 way point. This was so needed because I completely forgot to eat breakfast that morning! Thanks Melissa! 3- I play french horn for my church orchestra. My belly is now starting to get in the way of my bell, pushing it out of the way! Our little girl likes to dance a lot when I play. It is...
