SO I thought that I would update with a few fun photos from...February. Yep that is right, March is almost over and I am giving you February. Should I feel guilty...no...life is what I make of it and right now I am making...will with all the spare time that I allow myself to have, updates on our lives in moments, snap-shots or spotlights (reason for the new title change). Some fun moments: Seuss Day! So as you can tell from the pictures I as thing one. What a blast! All my students dressed up in their favorite book character and for a week we held "specials" where we were able to give extra care to our students. I taught all the students several songs from Seussical the Musical, which they performed that Friday. Rock stars, they all want to be rock stars-American Idol what have you done? So it was a loud performance-maybe not all in the same key...but...they were cute. Nick even celebrated by letting me read to him his first Seuss book. I am sure he has read or have had read some Seuss book before now, but he claims he hasn't. So he even got into the spirit-"couldn't help it when my wife is running around all in red with blue hair". Another fun moment came in Valentine's Day. We ate at Braza Grill. Okay, let me just say that Nick and I have been trying to eat healthy as of late and trying to prevent the genetic diseases that are seemingly awaiting us sometime down the road. We are veggie and fruit 'aholics' and are eating meat sparingly. So...here comes the night of all you can eat MEAT! The night started off wonderfully with a live acoustic guitar player and a fruity drink...then it went all down hill from there. Nick and I pride ourselves at never discriminating against anyone or thing-meat included this life motto and we dare each other to never turn the stick to red. You can imagine the end of the night. If not, let me help you. We were sweating, sweating meat and we were so scared to move from our seats when we were done, in fear of a digestion eruption, so we stayed there, eyes closed, telling out stomachs to let all the consumed food to pass through. As we finally got up, and thanked our host, he gave us one look and with his look of concern asked if we found everything to be okay, "We found it to be a little too good". What a night! Why do we put ourselves through this? Was it really worth the pain, sweat, tears and pounds. Well...that is still to be determined. After we left the restaurant we looked at each other and could not stop laughing...we looked ridiculous, so then we decided to dance off the meat outside of our favorite store, Barnes and Nobles. We giggled the whole time as we danced or more like waddled like stuff turkeys.
I had to put this picture in of Boston eating my chicken! IT made my week. This is a rooster that Nick had collected when he was in his collecting chickens phase (hence the reason we have the theme of roosters in our kitchen-not by choice but by necessity, where else were we to put all those rooster?)One thing that we dislike about being away from family is missing our nieces and nephews growing up. Seeing this picture made me not only laugh and realize I have one of the cutest nieces in the world, but that in little ways I can still be in their lives. So there you go, an update on some fun moments. More to come...sooner then later.
Nick and
