Thank you everyone for all the Happy Birthday cards, presents and phone calls! You guys are the best!
Where have I been?!? Oh yeah, at my job that's an hour and a half away from my house. That three hour commute really cuts into my blogging time. Not to mention the 4 different classes that I have to prep for each day. How did I end up with 4 different classes and Jared only has one. I teach Math 7, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, and Math Applications. Jared just has 6th grade Science. Hmmm.....
So Derek is actually still sick. After the barfing, the whole family got colds. We had sore throats, sneezing, runny noses and coughing. Everyone is mostly better except for Derek. He won't stop coughing. I stayed home today to enforce a strict medication and TV watching schedule to see if we can get it cleared up by Monday. Luckily it doesn't seem like pneumonia, at least not yet.
Holly is cuter than ever! She says 'thank you', 'k', 'poop', 'blanket', 'cheese', 'more', '
ralphie', 'mommy', 'daddy', and '
waaaaaaaaaa'. Right now she is polishing off a big bowl of macaroni and cheese with a spoon! What a big girl.
Tyler LOVES his after school program. He finally has a group of boys his own age to play with on a regular basis. They have homework time, structured group games and free time. He takes his Pokemon cards and Bakugan balls to school each day to use during free time. Thanks to the bargaining skills he's learned while playing Monopoly with me, he sometimes makes fantastic trades ;)
Jared went to a training meeting last Saturday and they showed him the SNL clip below. I think that it would have been funny to me before I became a teacher but now I think it's hilarious...and a little sad.
Then, further down, when Tyler sees the trampoline rubberband thing, it's hard to tell him no when I just let Derek ride the train. He wanted to do it at first, then he got scared and then he really liked it. Actually, I think it looked kind of fun.
