Thursday

Just wanted to add a quick photo of some of my nursing students doing a school clean up..... my students are really so great!

Maddy had pj day today- I am thinking I need to buy her some new pj's since today was a real challenge finding something decent for her to wear! I didn't realize how casual we are in this house with sleep wear.
Ellie is on her last day of "island wear" as sadly, Chamorro month is over.
She will miss her fun Fridays..... especially since she is always a little sad about middle school getting all sorts of dress down days, with none for 3rd grade- she has even thrown the word "prejudice" around...

Welcome to Spring Break 2011!!!!

The girls started off their week with smoothies after swimming tonight- hoping to see Hop at the theaters tomorrow..... Oh ya, Spring Break is on!

Classroom visitors

Governor and Lt Governor of Guam visited my school today! I couldn't have been more shocked when they walked in my classroom. Had NO idea they were even on campus. You can see me trying to stay out of the way in the photo above.

See if you can find me and my classroom by clicking on the video on the news stations web page...... here .... hint- my classroom is the one with the hospital beds in it :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGGIE! 12 YEARS OLD!

Monday Night- Family Night!

Tonight- family night, Kevin's choice. Meatball subs and Star Wars.... great combo!

For Maddy today was College day at school. Lucky for her Kevin brought back new Texas Aggie shirts for the girls from his trip. Tomorrow is "western" day :)

After school Ellie had a quick assignment. We had to head to the Military Dog Cemetary to gather information on it. It is really close to us. Though I will say it took longer than expected since I wouldn't let them out of the car.....
until this monitor lizard left the area. This photo was taken with LOTS of zoom! Though Ellie was willing to charge right out of the car toward it- I was more cautious.
Lizard gone- assignment done!

Super busy Sunday

Just a few photos from my students GCC Day on Friday:

They really did a great job.

Today was lots of hard work around the house. It seems that Sunday has become housework day. I am really enjoying the girls having a part in cleaning the house. Though Maddy will be washing her section of the floor tomorrow as she spent her afternoon working on a poster for school:
I think it turned out cute!

And lastly- we said a sad farewell to Mia.
It was tough dropping her home, she is such a sweet girl. I think Ellie and I will miss her most.

Saturday in pictures......

Kevin is back from Texas :)

He had a great time visiting Texas A&M and his parents. The girls were happy to see him and really loved all the fun things he brought back to them. HUGE thanks to Ann and Gene for the gifts they sent- Claires things are always the best! Thanks so much!

As for Kevin, its just nice to have him home.

Back on Guam
The Yogurtland ban is officially ended now that it is April.
You have two happy girls!
Also with April- the movie theatre on base is back in business!
So after Leo Palace practice this morning we saw Tangled.... fun Disney movie.
Then we picked Mia up for a sleepover. Her family is staying in a hotel overnight as part of the Sea Bee Ball extravaganza.
We took her to the dog park. Before evening practice and getting Kevin from the airport. The girls love playing with her.
It took Mia no time at all to fit in, take Aggie's bed, and pull out all Aggie's toys.
Everyone was settled in for the night by 10pm.

Fun having a doggy sleepover! Even Aggie loved having Mia stay the night. It was nice having a "baby" in the house for the day :)

Yeah!

As my students say- but its pronounced "yee-ah". Sometimes a "buddy" is thrown in too.

I am so happy to see this Friday come. This week has been ultimate busy- Kevin gone, progress reports to get out, two field trip days for my students doing CPR, and one Guam Community College Day that we had to host. Crazy busy.

The CPR training worked out great. The kids LOVED it, and were so excited to be certified in something. A really big deal to them, so that was nice to see.

I really can't say enough how much I enjoy my students. Its a lot of hard work, but man do they ever make it worthwhile.

I will truly miss them.

And here you see how we live when Kevin is away:
This was supper Friday night. Cold pizza out of the box, on the counter while watching TV. The side dishes being cheetos out of the bag and tomatoes and milk (what? we had to have something healthy thrown in!) Don't tell Kevin we ate on the counter, he hates us sitting up there.

Kevin is fine by the way, already on his way home and will be picked up at the airport tomorrow evening.... it'll be nice to have him back.

So I am saying a happy good-bye to March.... I've said it before but now it truly is all down hill- April I am off sooo much. I only teach about 9 days of the whole month! Then May will mark the end of the school year with minimal teaching days in it also.

"Yee-ah buddy" .....on a downhill roll.
