Babies, Babies, Babies

Last night we had a cookout with our wonderful friends. There were 6 couples (and of course little one year old Hanna) and it was a lot of fun. Through the course of the night though I had an epiphany. Wow! I am old. It used to be that wedding invites covered the side of our fridge, now it is covered with birth announcements, baby shower invites and birthday party invites for 1 year olds. When did we get to this point? I mean at the cookout alone 3 out of the 6 girls were pregnant. I'm not really sure the point of this email- just thought I'd share I am getting old and have lots of adorable pregnant friends:)

Blue Underwear

So, teaching 3rd and 4th grade there are some interesting things I hear on a daily basis. I keep the really unique ones in a notebook and one day I am thinking of compiling them into some sort of book. Some of the things in the notebook are things like "My testicles were in my tummy and I had to have an operation for the doctors to get them down" (1st grader). Anyway, I made a deal with one of my kiddos who is a die hard UofL fan. The deal was, if UK won he would wear a UK button and vise versa. SO on Tuesday when the kid came to my desk I asked him if he was going to follow through with the deal. He bluntly told me no but that he wore blue underwear. Ugh! The things I don't want to know

Cooking, Football and R&R

It is so nice to have the time to not know what to do with your time. After a year and a half of masters work I have to say sitting here trying to decide should I go to the pool, the gym or try out that painting I have wanted to is a nice change of pace. What a treat. This weekend was one of those weekends I would have paid for with hours spent on the couch completing work afterwards. Not this time. I was able to spend time with friends at a Pampered Chef Party (Liz is pregnant and I got to feel the baby move- so amazing!). This was followed by the UK/ UL game where of course the CATS pulled off a victory and even though it was sweltering I loved it. What could be better. Now I think after doing my first blogging I am headed to the pool to get rid of my raccoon eyes I got yesterday and then to the gym. Maybe I'll even get in my painting. The pic if from last year's season.
