What's been going on?

Will and I have had a very busy last few weeks. School has been crazy for the both of us. My 6th graders have been a hand full, and Will has been doing so many projects for his classes. But there has been time for laughter, and for some magical fun.

Jed and Tanei Henry have the cutest baby, her name is Nohea. She loves all of my stuff animals, and more importantly loves Will. Who wouldn't?
The Henry family lives in the condo above us, and we love having them as neighbors. Jed is an animator/illustrator who graduated from BYU - you can look at his blog here.
CUTE BABY AWARD!*
Will and I love cucumbers.
But this particular cucumber was a Siamese Twin!
Isn't that crazy, it is two cucumbers in one!
*In the picture above of Nohea she was eating her first cucumber!
Jake Sanchez is a magician.
And a great person.
And a friend of ours.
He came and did magic for my class.
He embarrassed Ethan.
You see Ethan likes Bailey.
Bailey doesn't have a crush on Ethan.
But Ethan got to touch her hand.
Made his day.
Made my day to see Ethan so happy!
My class was crazy for magic!
It was Kate's birthday so of course she got a trick done especially for her!
I have never had my name in the marque - I wish it said something like "Mrs. Strong's 6th graders passed their end of year tests." That would ROCK!
So that is what's been going on!!

What a life a 6th grade girl has!

I have a great group of girls in my class this year. I am so lucky!
They are the type of girls who place note on my desk when I am upset with the whole class and tell me what a great job I am doing "taming the boys." They are just such good girls.
On Thursday I had all the girls in my class looking up information about Anne Frank. They are reading her Diary in their reading groups. At 11am we go out for recess! Usually a favorite activity, but today these girls wanted nothing more than to play with my computer, well more specifically play with PHOTO BOOTH.

Here is what playing with PHOTO BOOTH is all about:

Oh William...what am I going to do with you?

Will does make me really happy everyday - all day!
