Happy Birthday Jessie.

Jessie is six today.
I went over with a cake after school yesterday & we iced it with red icing & did "High School Musical decorations. Jessie did most of it, with great results.
We both ended up with red stained fingers.
B & A brought Thomas home from nursery, he & Jessie amused each other & everybody else, practising with a hoola hoop & dancing.
I came home at about 6.0pm to cook for the boss, who had been hard at work repairing the window & garage door frames.

I had two very good days at school, hard work but enjoyable, as I get to know the real characters, more names & ability levels.
Nobody falls asleep - perhaps I should encourage aberrant behaviour in church, or start with some mental arithmatic!
I have worked until at least 5.00pm most evenings to mark work & prepare the following day's lessons.
Today's greatest maths challenge was to convince year 11 that it is much quicker , when multiplying fractions, to cancel across the x first.
We'll get there.
Another full day tomorrow. I need to collect car brochures after school for bottom set year 11 to work on pricing car ownership.

G is already snoring at the other end of the settee - chiro tomorrow.

Shopping tip for the more mature - all Dove half price at JS.

you should try an experiment with the sermon and see if the kids fall asleep as well

I bet you thought it was impossible for their to be more excitement in our household about J's forthcoming party.
Wrong!
It's all now at feverpitch, especially with the promise of a new Barbie readybed for KP for being such a brave girl during her recent stay in hospital.
I think T and KP may burst if Saturday doesn't come soon!
