This week: :)

My sunday school class had a lot of fun with our project. It may not have been a raging success but it certainly was a sticky one. I am really enjoying teaching, the kids really brighten up my week!

Sadly we had our last quiz bowl of the season :( but we placed second so its all good! Meanwhile science bowl is swiftly approaching. I am not entirely sure how I feel about it!

Engineer and I enjoyed going "to visit" the B-H's this past weekend. We had lots of fun lounging on the couch watching the olympics, visiting the humane society, shopping at the antique store, and eating a yummy lunch out.

My advanced chemistry class at the public school is very interesting. It is very challenging for me, and I really like having to work hard. But my favorite part about this class is the other students. At the beginning of the school year when I started regular chemistry I was looking forward to making new friends, I was very disappointed. I got there and was in the middle of a group of people that had known each other since kindergarten, nobody was mean but they were all very self involved. So I went into my second semester expecting to have the same experience, and man was I surprised! They are really great and I love the class.

I decided it was time to update the look of my blog in honor of the fact that spring will be here eventually. I hope you like it!

Thats all for now.

:P update

So life has been a tiny bit insane! Shark had his birthday this last week he is 13 which should just not be right! He is a real blast and he has started to come to more things with the engineer and I so we are having tons of fun! You're the best!

I have been preparing for piano festival... This will be my 6th year participating and I find that completely hard to believe. I love playing the piano at home for myself but playing for anybody makes me incredibly nervous, its crazy that this is the sixth time I have pushed myself to preform for a judge! 

We have had a few more quiz bowls this semester and done very well in all of them. I am so excited about how well we have done. I really truly love working with my teammates, we work so well together, we help each other find the answer, when we get frustrated somebody will say something that will make you laugh and feel better, and we just have tons of fun. Some of my favorite memories are from quiz bowls and I am so grateful to as a homeschooler to have this wonderful opportunity.

Along similar lines we are preparing for science bowl competition. It is full of rules and strategies that I don't really understand, but somehow during practice our freshman/sophomore team was only a few points behind the junior/senior team. 
I have also taken over the preK/kindergarten sunday school class which has been a lot of fun! The kids are great, but man do I wish we had more space! The majority of the class are boys and after they sat relatively still in church the last thing they want to do is sit still for me, I have gotten very good at managing to come up with games that involve movement with out running into the walls! I have a more involved project planned for next week and I hope to have pictures to share.
