Joy School

Today the boys had a Halloween Program at Pre-School. James was Buzz and Jakub Woody. They love being with their friends at joy school and ask everyday if they can go.

Big Joy comes from Small Packages

We have been flooded by love from Family the last few weeks. My boys have found great joy in watching for the UPS man and also the Mail man. They have gotten fish crackers, pez, flashing lights to wear around there necks, Dracula teeth, Halloween cards, and candy. Baby Jessie even got a surprise.....2 blankets and her first doll. THANKS to the Grandma's and Grandpa's for send us love from faraway this Halloween season.

Trouble

Good thing I am a Mary Kay consultant, or I would be even more upset.

Jakub did actually get some mascara on his long eyelashes.

New Calling!

The Sunday before Conference was our Primary Program. I teach the 5 year olds and I was excited to see them do so well. After Sacrament Meeting Bro. Pace asked John if he could talk to him. I didn't think anything of it I just hurried to the Primary Room. On my way to class after Sharing time Bro. Pace stopped me and asked if we could meet after church. "OK" Now I was feeling the pit in my stomach. Now here I sit 2 weeks later the new Primary President. I am nervous but excited. I am looking for any advice you can share with me. I need the perspective of other Presidency members, teachers, parents, ward members, anyone. What works and what doesn't?

PINK! PINK! PINK!

Chabot Space and Science Center

We spent Saturday morning going through the Chabot Space and Science Center located in Oakland. We started by seeing a film about astronaut training.

During our tour, J commented several times how much he loves science and wants to be an astronaut.
We think J would make a great astronaut. So would Jakub.
All three boys had a great time getting to see what it would be like to be an astronaut with some cool hands-on displays.

uplifting

What did you do for FHE this week? At our house Dad cames home with a car full of boxes on Monday afternoon. A guy at work gave him Guitar Hero because he didn't play it anymore. The boys were thrilled. All 4 of them enjoyed jamming out.

So what was the spiritual lesson for FHE?

On Tuesday Joy School started. And the first house on the schedule was ours! These boys were excited to have their friends over for school. But throughout the whole day I kept trying to get Jakub to stay with the group and be a part of school. His comment was "this is not school mom" Well it might take sometime for him to get use to the idea of me being his teacher. Maybe the next 6 weeks as he travels to other houses he will get the spirit of Joy School.
I look forward to a 2 hours to myself, 2 days a week. Most of that time will be filled with Dr. appointments and hopefully some scrap booking.
