Things my husband says

We have a bad habit of watching movies while we eat.  It's nice, but things don't really get done and then we end up watching a whole movie instead.  S I asked, "Someday when we have a real dining room,"  he knew where I was going and said "Yes.  That's fine."

Then added  "Nothing in this house is real!  Except for our love."

Cheese Factory!

Day of Love!

The Andersons celebrated Valentines day early.  Because, well, Monday isn't exactly a day where we have a lot of time.  So Saturday we went out to dinner and had some husband-wife time.  It's been a while since we've spent a weekend just at home, so it was nice to be just the two of us for a couple of days.  We spend so much time working all week that by the time Saturday comes we are ready to go out and play, which is usually with other people.  A little date night was excellent. And I put on a perty dress, even though I was way overdressed for Mexican food.  haha!

For the actual holiday, I committed myself to working on Lesson Plans till my fingers bleed an Evan sat down to finish up an application.  Come to find out, I wrote the due date down wrong.  By a month. So he missed that one.  I then had to turn over all of the chocolate I got from my kindergarteners as an apology.  Luckily, the next one he picked up was a coconut (his fav) and he wasn't upset anymore.

All in all, a pretty low key first V-day for us, but welcomed amongst the commotion in our everyday lives.

Happy Valentines Day!

Busy Andersons

Somehow we always manage to fill our weekends.  And our week days.  No rest for the... wickedly cute?

Anyhow, cute kid in my class today.  He is Indian (both parents form India), and I believe bilingual.  At the very least his parents are.  Last week we picked up on him saying "walentine" instead of "valentine" and my teacher mentioned that she didn't think there was a /v/ sound in Hindi.

Fast forward to today.

V was the letter of the week.  My teacher finished reading her V book about Vam Vampire.  She was asking questions to get the kids to remember different V words.  She asked, "What's that jar we keep flowers in?"  Cute Indian kid said "a wase."  Teacher said "yes.  a Vase. say /v/" and he did.

20 minutes later...

The kids do a handwriting sheet with each new letter.  They get it checked, then they can color it.  Well, cute Indian kid raised his hand and said- cute as could be- "Mrs. Anderson, I finished my wee's!"  I couldn't help giggling.   We practiced the /v/ sound some more.  He just has the cutest voice to begin with, and dimples, so it makes it all the funnier.

Just another story from my adventures in students teaching!
