The Latest Buzz

Hello Hello! Back again. I took a little "vaca" (vacation) from blogging and have returned to give you the latest skinny on my life, etc.

Work at the Preschool has been it's typical concoction of crazy kids, time-outs, sidewalk chalk, and ocean fun. Our theme for the month of August was ocean, so I've been having a lot of fun thinking up fun things for the kids to do. Namely: coloring in a life-size shark, making a "shark tooth" necklace, singing "Baby Beluga," reading books about Pirates that live on ships in the ocean (notice the tie-in...) and then making Pirate hats, and various assundry other little crafts. It's been fun, I must say. Last week the teachers were informed they had 2 days to move all the things from their current classrooms into another room...which was...you guessed it, LOADS of fun. NOT. It put all of the Fall teachers in a tail-spin, and needless to say tempers were at an all-time rage. I tried my best to stay out of dodge (since, in case you forgot, I won't be teaching there in 2 weeks when I start school) but it was inevitable not to step into some of the ___ (insert inappropriate word....if you need a hint as to what I mean fill in this blank: the ___ hit the fan...) Anyway, it was a total zoo at the center, and thank goodness for the TV, VCR, and the "Kids Songs" movie because I'm pretty sure the kids were about to kill each other...

ANYWAY, other than that, things have been pretty steady around here. Last weekend Amber and I helped plan a huge YSA (Young Single Adult) conference in Gettysburg for church. I think we are still perplexed as to how we got involved, but that's neither here nor there, and it's over with anyway. It was a LOT of work. But from what I heard from other YSA's that attended it turned out really well....(me and Am wouldn't know....we were stuck planning and running errands most of the time....) But at least we can look back now and laugh....or cry....at the crazyness of it all.

Hopefully everyone out in cyber-land is doing well. Keep up with your blogs...I love reading them!

And that, my friends, is the latest buzz. Until next time...
