Snow 2/11/10- Watch the time progression Part 2
The top 4 pictures are from about 1 hour after the last pictures you saw. It was about 11:30 when they were taken. The other pictures are ones that I took around 2:00PM. It is now 3:00PM, and we already have 5 inches!!! (that is the official "weatherman" amount). They are now predicting 6 to 10 inches of snow!!! I believe it because it is still coming down. Wow!!
Snow 2/11/10- Watch the time progression
I took these pictures by the back fence to show the snow stacking up. At the time I took the pictures, it had only been snowing for a short period of time. It is supposed to snow all day & get to 5 inches. I will take more pictures as the snow stacks up. Now, I just need to check my map and see if we are really in Texas...Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Friday School
We had a lot of fun at Friday school. Jaden went to drawing class & drew some pictures (which she has left at school- I am hoping someone saw them and saved them for her). Jaden, also, made a top, which I will take a picture to show everyone later. It is pretty cool. She loved all of her classes.
Morgan was so excited to see her friends again. I taught the children about ducks. We read "Make Way for Ducklings" and made paper ducks. It was muddy, so we went to the basketball court during our playground time. It was a great day! The time went so quickly! Now I need to figure out what I am going to teach next week!

Mommy Gets a Break
It is hard to get things done at the house with 2 little girls running around. It is a good situation to be in because I love them to pieces... BUT, I can do things 10 times faster if they are out of the house. Grandma Leslie agreed to watch them for a few hours on Wednesday. I dropped them off around 10:00 ish, and picked them up at 3:30 ish. That gave me 4 hours (taking out driving time).
I had work to do:
1. I updated my resume to include the non-profit work I have been doing. This would open up more employment opportunities for me- I am looking for something I can do in the evenings (after 5 PM) & on the weekends.
2. I applied for jobs that fit into the schedule I am looking for & in the non-profit sector
3. I worked on updating my Ebay store with more items.
4. I packed up the sales I made on Ebay.
5. I added books to my half.com seller account.
That was it, my 4 hours were up- I headed back to Grandma Leslie's house to pick up the girls. When I pulled up in the car, the girls looked like they are in the pictures above. Everyone was outside. Jaden was pushing "her" baby Paige in the stroller, and Morgan and James were blowing bubbles. Such a sweet picture!
I was so happy to have that time to get the things done while the girls had fun!!! Thanks, Mom!

Back to School Spring 2010
Can you tell the girls are excited to go back to school? Friday is the start of the Spring 2010 school year. I will be teaching Morgan's "Seedlings" class again. There will be 10 children in that class this semester, and the "officials" of the school believe the student population will continue to rise every semester for the next few years. The reason is that more and more people are learning about our coop, and wanting to be a part of it. There were some families that had to get on the waiting list for the Fall 2010 semester because they missed the deadline to register.
It is hard to explain the energy and excitement of Friday school. If you ask Jaden and Morgan about it, you will see their eyes light up. The fun part is that we are all working together, and having fun at the same time. I missed my "seedlings" during winter break. Of course, I got to see 3 of them when they came to Morgan's birthday party.
Jaden can't choose a favorite part or a single reason why she likes Friday school. She loves seeing her friends, learning new things, and sharing the things she learns with the family. Her teachers and even parents that are not her teachers, treat her as a niece. It is one big family taking care of the whole family.
I like that Jaden is learning things that I am not teaching her. She is becoming more and more independent, and wanting to be with her peers.
I like that I get to see Morgan's interactions with the other children. She makes me so proud! She is so smart & mature beyond her years. Last semester, she was the only 2 year old in a class with seven 3 years olds, but you couldn't tell!

How much food can fit in your mouth?
How this little tiny child can fit so much food in her mouth at one time, I have NO idea! She does this all the time though.
