I Will Survive!

With eight weeks of the school year to go, "I Will Survive" is my new motto. With everything going on right now, I have found it hard to blog. I am still working fast and furious on my masters program. Along side of that, I am finishing up a three credit course I have been taking through ASU (just one more week of that one). I am surviving day by day with my freshmen students. All in all, I might be super busy but it is going okay. Anyway, I have a few precious moments that I want to share with everyone. These things keep me going!

The other day Nathan decided he needed to "make Jaylyn beautiful." So, he found every bow, every barette, and every clip he could and wa-la, she was so pretty.

SPRING BREAK!
We had a week off two weeks ago. We didn't do too much. I managed to clean out a lot of things and take a big load of stuff to the D.I. (wish I had a picture). I tried to potty train Jaylyn but that didn't go over very well. I enjoyed being home with the kids. Here are the things they were doing:

Anthony reunited with his x-box. He has discovered that the games that were too challenging a year ago are now actually fun. Nathan joins in once in a while too.

Jaylyn found a new hobby. Every time she found a basket, she emptied it and made a little lounge chair out of it. Here she is, sitting in her basket and watching Micky Mouse Clubhouse. I would load her up with a drink and snacks and she was as happy as could be. We had to pretend the baskets were cribs too and she was the baby. She would make me rock her and put her down into her basket where she would pretend to sleep for a few minutes and then she would cry. I would then have rock her all over again. It was very cute.

Nathan played as much as he could. He played with his brother on the x-box, he watched Mickey Mouse with his sister, and he found a few of his own games to play.

I enjoyed being home with the kids and am looking forward to the summer.

Anthony finished his basketball season (it was only a month). But, he was pretty cute and I needed to put a picture of him playing. He really enjoyed it.

So, that is what we have been doing.

On a side note, I went in and edited my Los Angeles blog since through the entire thing I had spelled it as Las Angeles (thanks Teri for pointing it out). I don't know what I was thinking but it is a little bit embarrassing. Way to go English teacher.
