A life where you are always learning.

Hola! Tomorrow is floor day, and my stairs will finally start their transformation from plywood to plywood covered with prettier and shinier plywood! We have been living with paint splattered stairs for like a month waiting for all the ducks and stars to align, and finally, if all goes well, by Sunday we will have finished stairs! Yippee!
Today, I went to an inclusion works conference with Skyler and Liam's teachers, and had a pretty fun time. The second training of the day was great, the first one was not for me, but it gave me 1 good idea of something to try with reading homework, so if it helps, it will be well worth it. While learning many other things I memorized a list of 20 motions and words, which is now totally stuck in my brain, usurping all the space of all the other stuff I heard today! Stupid sun-20/20 vision. That was the beginning and end of the list. Beyond memorizing 20 things, I had a great time getting to know Skyler's teacher, and ate a pretty tasty grilled cheese and tomato sandwich, plus I got 4 hours of training credits for the preschool, some wikki stix, and tons of caffeine. I think that teachers of children in elementary school learned many things, too many of which make us parents at home extra involved! Hahahaha! I won't bore you with all the details, but if you are honestly curious about what I heard and if anything could help you with your difficult child, or even not so difficult children, email me and I will be glad to pass along some info!
Teachers out there, I will pass along this website for cute science songs though, www.wphillips.com
And in case any of Skyler's teachers are reading, don't be surprised if his reading logs have picture summaries along with the writing summaries from time to time!
Tonight Brian and I have a dinner date at Maria Maria's with a couple of friends, and we can not wait! If I had extra money I would totally go out and buy something adorable to wear, but I will have to suffer with my very limited wardrobe. :(
Hope you are all staying warm and enjoying this sunny Friday! I hear that Dallas, Tyler, Arlington and Denton are all under a foot of snow today, so to them, stay inside, and HAHAHAHA!
