* Our last round of Parent-Teacher Conferences are OVER until next year! YAHOO! I had around 50 parents and Phil had a record-breaking 8! All of the parents were very nice and seemed appreciative of our efforts. Phewfff!
* Considering our school isn't really set up for track and field, the try-outs went well on Tuesday night! We have selected our sprinters and are looking forward to seeing some long distance runners next week.
* I'm not really sure what Santa Claus was thinking, but I'm pretty sure he delivered hormones instead of presents to my grade 6 students. Not all of them, but a SOME of them have started to turn into teenagers. They were only away from me for two weeks and....BAM! The inner teen has started to emerge! Several parents mentioned this to me this week. I suppose it's even tougher when they're in your house!
* The Christmas tree is still up......(I swear we are taking it down THIS WEEKEND)!
* Our flight home is booked! We are catching a cheap flight to JFK and spending a week in NYC before coming back to Toronto. Oh - and we extended the summer rental so that we have it the entire time we are home. We are so excited to have our OWN place this summer - it means suitcase-less visiting, minimal cat allergies, no car rental, and space when we need it. IDEAL, indeed!
* The only time Phil and I have ever truly considered a cruise, we find out that a cruise from the same company (Costa) crashed off the coast of Italy this week. I still can't believe it. I had already half-talked Phillip into the idea when we saw the "breaking news" on CNN.com. Eek! Despite the BIG SAVINGS advertised, the cruise doesn't appeal to us as it did pre-disaster.
* American Idol starts tonight! I can't wait to be cozy in my p.j.'s, sipping a tea and admiring J. Lo's fashion sense. Oh ya - and listening to the contestants sing their hearts out :)
Hmmm....p.j.'s and a tea sound good RIGHT NOW! Off I go....Phillip should be home from basketball practice soon.
XOXO.
Sounds wonderful! xoxo
