Brynnism

Last night while I was tucking Miss Bee into her bed to go to sleep.

Me: "Good night, missy. See you in the morning."

Bee: "Good night mom. Mom, when it gets dark, I'm going to look out the window and wish on the evening star."

Me: "Huh?"

Bee: "When it gets dark out, I'm going to look out the window and wish on the evening starrrr."

Me: "Oh...(chuckling)well that's a good idea. Who taught you about the evening star?"

Bee: "Well, Tiana did in the Princess and the Frog movie."

Me: "Right...gotcha! Okay, what are you going to wish for?"

Bee: "Ummmm I don't know."

First Master's Class

Well, it's a good thing I checked in and signed on for my first class. I had an assignment due tomorrow and the class just started today. I guess I have a lot to learn. Online learning is not my strength, as I definitely excel moreso when I'm sitting in the class and listening to the teacher. This will be a bit of an adjustment, but I can do it. One thing I need to figure out is how to manage my time and really set my calendar so I know when assignments are due and what is expected for each day. I see that I have two assignments due by Sunday. I also discovered I am not a fan of reading every person's discussion board posting. Do I have to read everyone's? One of our first assignments was to respond to two other posts, which I did (to 3 people actually), and then post our own thought, which I did. However, I did not want to spend all of my time reading every single person's. Should I?

My life, as I know it, is now officially crazy. Well, not really, it just got so much more busy than it already is. I hope I made the right decision to get this thing done now. I probably should have done it before I had kids, but better late than never, I guess. Regardless, it's going to be a lot of new and interesting material, I think. My first class is on classroom management, MY FAVORITE! :) :) I hope I learn something new. :)

Depending on my schedules, I may have to give up coaching volleyball next year. To be honest, it's been on my mind for awhile now for various reasons, but, maybe it's really time to give it up. Leaving basketball was really hard and it still is, but leaving volleyball will be even harder, as I've coached the girls for 8 years. However, coaching is hard work because not only am I coaching most girls who have no clue how to play volleyball, but also teaching them some emotional and social behaviors as well. Next year, I have 7th grade girls...only perk? Ashley's sister is going to be coming to Cascade. :))))))))) Ashley plays for a D-1 school now, and her sister was an awesome player for me too. Hmmmm

I wish we could have more of this weather...

Last weekend was beautiful!

The kids spent some time outside blowing bubbles. Brynn had a birthday party at a friend's on Sunday and when we arrived, the parents of her friend (who own a really cool bar nearby) said: "We'll keep the kids busy, moms, go have a drink on us and come back at 4." :) LOVED it. Best bday party ever! LOL

She can sing German

Brynn's teacher is teaching them German words in class and taught them a German song. Her teacher's husband is German, and so she tries to share some of his German traditions, language and heritage in her class. Bee LOVEs it and the other day exclaimed, "Mom, I can speak German AND Spanish!" It was very cute. Anyway, here's a vid. If it doesn't work, access MY Mobile Me under my links to see it there.

***She did ask for a German Girl costume for Christmas this year. LOL

Super busy

Just lots going on this week. Not much new to report other than the yearbook is due this week and it's super crunch time! I've been joining some friends and co-workers after school on Fridays for Zumba workouts and have really enjoyed them so far. It doesn't' feel like working out and yet, I'm moving the whole time.

Oh, and we're getting a whole lot of THIS from Mister:

LOVELY.

Gettin' crafty again...:)
