2/19-2/25

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed their Presidents' Day vacation... I spent the day creating various types of rubrics, researching possible PBL (project-based learning) ideas, and avoiding like the plague the various food temptations (chocolate seemed to be the theme).

2/24- One of my friends threw a surprise birthday party for her husband, so I brought this bottle of wine for RA and I to share. Let's face it... I judge a book by it's cover- the only reason I bought this wine was because I liked the name and the colors on the label. But obviously my second impression of it was quite good because we finished the bottle before the party even started! :)

2/22- My rosebushes are in full bloom right now! They need to be trimmed back, but I just thought their colors looked so pretty.

2/19- Got bored on Sunday without RA at home to stop me from whipping up this cake. We only ate half of it before deciding to throw the rest away... we're trying to be good and (semi) follow our Game On! Diet rules. :)

2/25- Speaking of being good (NOT). Rami and I had a math and science team competition yesterday, and we had several kids who qualified for the state competition in April. We decided to celebrate afterwards with frozen beverages (sorry RA... you can forbid me from having Orange Leaf on Monday since I was a bad girl LOL ;) ).

2/21- I'm not going to lie... it's a little bit overwhelming and mind-boggling to plan and prepare to PBL projects. If you know me well at all, you know I'm big into list-making. So, here is my (somewhat organized) to-do list!

I'm not sure what day this was, but here is RA... trying to pay for the drive-thru car wash at HEB. :) The car in front of us was taking its sweet time, and while I was getting ten kinds of bajiggity (because my patience for oblivious people is low), RA kept her cool. :)

2/22- After Ash Wednesday service! Afterwards, we had to run to the store to pick up a few things. We had been in the store for maybe 10 minutes when I finally turned and looked at RA and noticed she still had her ashes on... then I realized I did too! It was just a funny moment.

Yay, I love St. Patty's Day! This is courtesy of RA. :)
