Monday, April 10 - I subbed at Foothills Elementary today and check out this teacher's wall! I think she and I could be friends! :) Nick asked a girl named Addy to prom last week and she answered him tonight. Yay! He's going to prom!
Tuesday, April 11 - I subbed today at Bastian Elementary and it was a very challenging day! One of the kids came to the front of the room and said, "Mrs. Pearson, this is who you remind me of." Coooool, the chubby mean caretaker at the orphanage on Despicable Me! Ouch! With all of the snow that we got over this winter, they are now warning residents to beware of flooding. It makes me a little nervous just because we have a creek that runs right behind our house. Simon took a picture of this rock today in order to compare the water level in the next few days. We just have to pray that it doesn't warm up this spring too quickly. That would be bad for both flooding as well as water supply. A nice slow warm up would be ideal and fill our lakes and reservoirs better than having it all melt quickly.
Wednesday, April 12 - Today's picture of the rock shows that the rock is completely under water now! Haha! The level is still really low but it's amazing what one day can do! Kendra, Simon, and Ricki walked over to Rosecrest Park tonight to check out the water there. It's basically a pond right now! There were actually ducks swimming around in it! That is what this park is for though - rain/flood overflow. It's doing it's job! Tonight, mom and I caught a red-eye flight to Florida. It was not a great flight. It was super turbulent and we had a lady across the isle from us that kept throwing up and making a show of it each time. I was so happy once we landed in Florida at 5:00 am!
Thursday, April 13 - Since Jake's seizure in school, he has not had another one but they also don't have an explanation as to why it happened in the first place. They did an evaluation on his brain and actually tried to give him a seizure so they could study it. He didn't have one though so all they can say is that he has epilepsy. Great. Mom and I drove to Kenny and Katie's, which is about a 2 hour drive from the airport. They were all gone for the day so we went in and took a nap until everyone came home. We watched Kayla dance, change into different clothes, visited with Kam, and Kenny & Katie cooked dinner for us. It is so fun to be here with them! I am so glad we came!
Friday, April 14 - Luckily, Katie doesn't have to work again until our last day here so we get her to ourselves for these few days! She kept the kids home from school and we went to the most amazing beach ever! It is called Siesta Keys and the sand is white powder. It is like walking through flour! We had so much fun playing in the water, in the sand, and just relaxing. I love vacation! And you just can't beat a sunset going down behind palm trees! Paradise!
Saturday, April 15 - Happy 15th birthday to Kendra! I feel so bad being out of town over her birthday but it was the only time mom and I could make it work out. Simon took the kids with Dave & Viv to JCW's and he made sure that she still had a happy birthday. We started our day off at the soccer field. I felt right at home! Haha! Kam and Kayla both had a game. They had a few Saturday things they needed to do so mom and I went and had lunch together. We have book club pretty soon when we get home so at night, when everyone else went to bed, her and I would read a few chapters before we called it a night. I love it!
Sunday, April 16 - We went exploring a little today. We got to see Kenny's jobsite that they are working on right now and it is amazing! It will be so beautiful once it's done. We then went to Sarasota Beach to enjoy another beach day. Tonight, Kenny helped mom and I start a galaxy picture. He is VERY into this art right now and wanted us to see how fun it is to make. It really is fun and mom and I enjoyed our time with Kenny outside painting. I can't wait to see how they turn out!
