So apparently I can only find the time to post monthly!  Oh well, at least I'm consistent with that.  It's Saturday morning and I'm sitting on the couch trying to decide what to do today - the Strawberry Festival is in town, and it' the last weekend... Strawberry Shortcake sounds yummy!  The house is relatively clean... Lyz had friends over Thursday night, so we super cleaned for that and it hasn't worn completely off.  Jonathan has been working late all week, so he's still snoozing, and Maddie slept in and played quietly 'til 9 so I was able to sleep in a bit!  Hooray!!
School was ... well, let's be honest - BORING this week.  We had our state testing, so for three days in a row I tested the same 20 students for about 2 1/2 hours... and then we had to keep the students in our testing rooms until last block ... so there wasn't really a lot to do.  We watched the movie Stand and Deliver, which is a great inspirational movie about a teacher who inspires kids to take the AP Calculus test.  We also did some fun hands-on activities in the afternoon, which my students really seemed to get into.
I'm planning my trip for spring break... which is in just 2 short weeks!  Maddie and I are going to take a road trip up to VA.  Jonathan will be in ID the week before, so he can't come with us.  It'll be interesting to see how we both do with a long road trip! 
Well, so far productivity level for today is kind of low... but it's only 11 am, so we could improve that score!  Especially if going to the Strawberry Festival ends up in the plans!
