Funny Video

I found this video on another blog that I read. It is really funny! Especially after teaching a class on SMART Notebook this past week. Students are fearless with computers, but adults can be so frustrating!!

Lately, I've been able to spend more time with my family! It has been great. I think it is because we have not had very many meetings lately. We had parent/teacher conferences, but I spread them out over the whole week, so it wasn't too bad. Since I didn't have them back to back on Thursday, I was able to get plans done for the next week! Confession: That week was the only week I had my lesson plans done before going home on Friday! And I wasn't able to do it for this next week either. I just finished them while Ethan was taking his naps this weekend. I guess as long as they are done, right?!

We had fun this week with Halloween! Ethan was Cookie Monster! He went trick-or-treating for the first time. It only took him 2 houses to figure out what to do and (most importantly) why! CANDY! I think he is permanently ruined now! He used to never want to eat candy or sweets. Now he asks for candy several times a day. We are rationing his candy pretty well though!

I'm now bracing myself for this next week. I have a 4-hour class on Monday night and am teaching a 2-hour workshop on Wednesday. These are both things I have put on myself and will enjoy them. I will just have to be a good time manager to get everything else done!

Well, I hear some breathing behind me. It must be Ethan up from his nap! We're going to Battlefield Station Family Hobbies to play with some trains this afternoon!
