Things I've Learned This Week

1. I have no time for blogging.
Tuesday is a crazy day for me. It is one of the two days of the week that I teach art to 103 kindergarten through eighth graders. It is a lot of fun! I've learned that kids can do anything if instructed in a way that they can handle. But I've also learned that because all of my creative juices are going to art projects I'm left with little to blog with. I don't have time to find a great armoir to repaint or new fabric to sew or yarn to crochet. And you know what, that's not fair. Because that is what I love.

2. I'm amazed at what my kids have learned in just 7 weeks of school. These videos are from the 4th week of school.
3. I need a desk at school.
We may want to eat at our dining room table sometime in the next year.
4. No matter how many times you tell me the Baxters aren't real, I will disagree.
I have one book left to read in the Karen Kingsbury Baxter Family books and I'm dreading the end. I mean I want to meet Dayne and Katy's kids and I want to see Cody and Bailey get married. I want to see CKT established. Who's with me? I attended a simulcast of Karen Kingsbury this weekend and just loved it! Tell me they're real. I'm going to have a Baxter family reunion. Who's coming?

You, my friend, have made my day!
Thanks for your dedication!
Love, Em
PS - Happy National Art Teacher Appreciation Day!
Kelly, I "know" everyone in the school will be blessed by your rich talent offerings. :) And yes, the Baxters are REAL. You will LOVE the last book in the series, mostly as it pulls all the books together. Be blessed. **WE** meaning all of us, are the characters the Baxter family was written about, all of us with our own private daily happenings from all of our lives. I'll be there for that reunion though, as I can relate to the parents in these books like nothing I've ever read before. God is good. I really "needed" to read them when I did. Enjoy!
I, too, was VERY sad to see that series end. Her newer books are still good though. :)
Well, you had time to blog that! You can still blog, just not so frequently. I don't think eating in the dining room is in your future, so you may want to go on to plan B. Also, I'll be curious to see if that desk at work actually helps. It may be just another place to pile the art work! :)
Take my word for it, another desk doesn't help. I have three or four and they are all full. So is my table. Do you know about Take One and Take Two? Karen Kingsbury's Above the Line series? The Baxters are in them.
Great job kiddos!! We are memory fiends around here too. Always fun to see what you're up to Kelly!
hugs,
edie
