John Michael had his first Chorus Performance tonight and it was adorable. We are so very proud that he has chosen something that he loves and is doing it. They all sang very well and conducted themselves better than I ever remember us having to do when I was in chorus. Enjoy this song it was way cute and i apologize for not getting the whole thing my memory card got too full!

Newest Projects

I have been knitting like a madwoman. The pink blanket is for a fellow knitter in my thursday night kniting group. We had a surprise baby shower for her this last week seeing as she is due the end of this month. SHe loved it and we all had a good time.

THe cream colored one is the begining of a bag for my sister-in-law. I keep making these projects and telling her they are going in the fair but this one really is. I will post pictures of it when I get the handles put on and it all sewed together.

Handprints

So my boss had this done by all the kids in the daycare to put under her new glass for her desk and I noticed that the kids handprints were right next to each other! SO cute!

Resolutions

I don't normally make resolutions because well lets face it, who keeps em, right? This year though I decided to make them a little more blanket like so maybe I could do better at possibly keeping them this year. SO here goes -
1. Do ad more color into my knitting. - Things like colorwork and intarsia
2. To get back to the gym on a more consistent basis. - I know this one falls into the weight loss trap but I also know that getting back to the gym will help in that area anyway.

So there is my list. After knitting all the baby blankets that I have right now, which is 6 (nobody else get pregnant for a while please!) I will start with resolution number 1 and next week begins number 2. I will keep u updated on the progress of both!@!

When your "bag of tricks" won't work

As we sat in the playhouse yesterday trying to get some play time in before christmas program practice, it started. D started into one of his fits that hasn't happened in 6 months. He started crying and I started in on the list. act like him, ok that didn't work, ignore definitely didn't work, so now he is in full blown fit and wont even walk. We get back to class and time for coats to be off to go to practice, even more of a fit. We head to practice and as the other children start to sing he slows his breathing and you can tell he is listening. Other teachers try to help and fit fires up at full force again. I take the class back upstairs as we are being very disruptive of practice and teh looks form other teachers is unbearable to me. Fit continues for a total of 40 minutes until he finally decides he might want to go play legos. I exhausted my "bag" and was exhausted myself. I leave for the day feeling down on myself as a teacher and trying to think over and analyze what I could have done differently to make it end faster.

Lego Show November 2009

We wanted to share a wonderful weekend with you. Rob is a part of the Utah Lego Users Group here in Salt Lake and they go to train shows and put up displays for people to come in and see. This is the third show Rob has done with them and he gets more detailed every show we do. This show was called the Wasatch Rails Train SHow and the guys had a whole room to set up in. It was awesome and really fun to hear people come in and look and the comments they made. Enjoy the pics.
