#65/365--Wordplay

Yes, I am a lover of the word, and word games. I was lucky enough to have Lauren play Scrabble with me tonight.  I tried to hassle Michael into playing Boggle...he would have nothing of it.  Boo!  What's really frustrating to me is that my kids won't play my favorite game of all--Phase 10.  Anyone else up for a Phase 10 match?  Anyone?  Anyone? 

#64/365--Bitterly...

...cold, that is.  Today was "opening day" for Bronco Baseball
--Mikey's first game of his season.

Brr.  It was cloudy...a tad rainy, 40 degrees,  and the winds were from the north at 20-25 mph--giving us a nice windchill of 30 degrees.

Mikey--with layers--3 seen here, and another in the dugout

Lauren, hiding under all her layers

and me.

Just a few of the 99+ balloons--after being popped...

Somewhere, under there, is my desk!

We've been learning about Texas this week.

Tomorrow, we are having fun, Cowboy-type activities

in each classroom for the kiddos to rotate around through. 

One classroom is making a "Friendship Trailmix"--Texas' motto is Friendship.

Another classroom is doing "Stories around the Campfire."

A third class is "Ropin' Cattle"--by tossing hula hoops over upside down chairs

A fourth class is having "Horse Racing"--using stick horses

 (some homemade by the kids)

My class is "Bucking Broncos"--sitting on balloons

and trying to make them pop!

That's my "corral" you see in the above picture. 

My "broncos" are gonna be rarin' to go tomorrow!

I love her.
