Summer School and Birthday Parties

Well I'm half way through my second week of teaching summer school. It STINKS!!! I've got 30 students in one room with just little old me to facilitate, answer questions, and classroom manage. Not to mention the fact that about 15 of these students are frequent discipline problems that shouldn't have been placed in summer school to begin with. This is officially my last year for it; every spring I think to myself "But it's easy money..." This year it's not so easy and definitely unenjoyable. I'm counting the minutes until the 20th!!!


In other news, last Friday Chris and I went to watch the Reds play the Braves. It was a fun game, even though it went extra innings and the Braves lost. After the game there were fireworks as a part of fan appreciation night, so that was neat. Chris LOVES fireworks; it definitely brings out the little kid in him and it's so cute!


Saturday was my niece and nephew's birthday party. Claire is 4 and Collin is 10. Collin also had a little league game that day, so I don't really have any good pictures of him, but below are pictures of Claire and her cake.

Claire and I opening her new Hannah Montana makeup... noticing a trend with the Hannah Montana stuff?
Well, tomorrow's Wednesday so that means only 3 more days until summer school if half over. Got to be positive, right?

I'm surprised there wasn't a Hannah Montana cake!

And...is she seriously sitting on the stove top in that picture?

That Hannah Montana makes a killing doesn't she. Just be glad Claire didn't mix in High School Musical too, my first grade girls were all about HSM (I know its sad that I know the abbreviations, I could probably tell you the characters too!)

Good luck surviving summer school!
