Hi Family!
Happy Conference weekend!
*Work has been going really well. The week on Greek mythology turned out really fun. We counted how many snakes are on Medusa's head, and made cyclops eyes to wear on our foreheads. No parents have complained about nightmares...so that's a good thing. Next week is going to be based on The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which I wasn't to pumped about after 4 weeks of world-culturish type lessons. But now that I have it all together I'm really excited. We'll talk about butterfly life cycles and make antennas to wear as we fly around the room. We have a couple of new students from the toddler room...un-potty trained. Ah, preparation for parenthood. I'm also trying to help train a new assistant, who seems really cool, accept for when it feels I'm trying to do one on one projects, take kids to the potty, and resolve conflicts between 14 kids all at the same time. A conversation this week concluded that, if you see the autistic after-schooler kicking me in the stomach, that would be a good time to step in.
*School: Anthony seems to be doing really well. He's spending the weekend working on this Deloite competition with a group. It sounds challenging and fun.
*Job interviews: He's had a few set up, and it's weird to think how soon this transition from school to real life career will happen. Where will the wind take us?
*Fun: Last night I went with a friend from work to see a performance of Crime and Punishment. Wow! It's like 2 hours of punishment, with a few minutes of crime. It was very very well done with a small cast of 3, and brings up interesting insights on sin and repentance. This friend works in theater and has been really nice to get me (and Ant, accept this time) into 3-4 different plays for free. She's fun to hang out with, because religion in general is totally foreign to her. So she always has really fun questions about the church, the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity. Today, I'll go to a birthday party of one of my students in between sessions of conference. I'll be shocked if it's not Spiderman or Batman themed.
*Pregnancy: Woah, I'm getting fat. :) I can still fit into all of my pants...which I buy baggy to begin with. But on Sunday I realized that it's time to look beyond my closet for church clothes. I have a cool V.T. companion that lent me some cute clothes, so I'm good to go for another couple weeks. I'm thinking about being a pear for Halloween. It's been really fun to feel the baby kick. And I'm generally feeling really really well, accept for not wanting to wake up in the morning.
So that's life. We love you guys and hope all is well!
Sharon
