Snack time talk

By
I felt the need to record this conversation I had with Leah during snack time today.
(Note: Lissyment = Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty)

Leah: Mama, we gotta talk about Lissyment, allright?
Me: Okay, can you tell me about her?
Leah: Lissyment came in and she was like "Raaarrrrrrrrrr!" And she was scary!
Me: She is scary, isn't she?
Leah: Yeah, and I said, "I want fruit snacks!" And lissyment said, "NOOOOO! You CAN'T have fruit snacks!"
Me: Oh, why didn't she let you have fruit snacks?
Leah: And then, Lissyment chased the prince. And he was runnin. And then, she ruined my dress! My pretty dress!
Me: Maleficent ruined your dress?
Leah: Yeah, my pink one. She ripped it.
Me: How did that happen?
Leah: Um, because. She was a dragon.
Me: Oh, okay, that makes sense.
Leah: And her broke my necklace!
Me: Oh no!
Leah: And then...and then...lissyment went "gogogogogogogogogogogogogo" and then Lissyment went "AHHHH!" and she fell down. And then the prince went to the castle. And him gave Sleeping Beauty a KISS!
Me: That's a pretty wild story, Leah! Do you have an active imagination?
Leah: Um, yeah. I do. Can I have fruit snacks?

Greetings friends, Thanks to all your prayers and support over these last months, my job search is finally over.  It ended where it began, in the principal's office at Marian High School, a Catholic high school in Mishawaka, IN, about 5 minutes from our house. I will be teaching 11th and 12th grade English-- 4 sections of honors Junior composition, and 1 Senior world literature course.  Both Nicole and I are very excited about this opportunity, as we will now be on the same schedules with breaks and will, of course, have the summers off to travel and visit all of you, our family and friends. I am observing the teacher who is resigning over the next week, and I will begin on my own Monday, November 3, just in time for Nikki to go into labor, necessitating my finding a sub for a week or so?!  Oh well, what can you do? Thanks again to all of you who have prayed earnestly that this challenging time would pass.  We are truly blessed by all of you.

Entertainment

Leah is singing, singing, singing these days... Some nights we hear her singing all kinds of songs to herself after we put her to bed. One of her new favorites is "Twinkie Doodle." We tried to teach her how to say "Yankee" for a while and then figured, why bother? We like this Twinkie Doodle character better. The other video is her very first knock knock "joke." Often while I am cooking dinner she hangs out in the kitchen with me, being my helper and entertainment in one.

My sixth grade class has been working on persuasive essays this quarter, and one of their first assignments was to write a persuasive piece on what Mr. and Mrs. Dainty should name their baby! They worked in partners, and they got to choose either a girl's name or a boy's name. Their responses were quite interesting and they have certainly given us some chuckles. Here are some of the highlights. (Spelling and grammar errors have been left in for comedic purposes.) Most Unique Supporting Details "Isabella is a perfect name because Queen Isabella helped supply Colombus for his trip across the sea. When we were younger we wished that there were famous people with our names. Many people may think Isabella is a weird name, but we think it is very beautiful." "I picked the name Tera because it is easy to spll , and Tera sownds like she will be smart like her mother. Her mother is so smarte . And she will want to be a techer like her."
