Thursday Update
1. The girls were very brave during their flue vaccinations, so we went and got them candy-collecting cauldrons at Ben Frank's on the way home. They've been practicing saying 'Trick or Treat! Happy Halloween!', going back and forth between my desk and O's. Too cute.
2. Their first Creative Movement class was great, but not what I'd expected. We made a family affair of it, since O's class isn't until the afternoon on Wednesdays, and that was a VERY good call. Lots of kids the girls' age, and a really nice teacher whose philosophies I like, but I DO wish she'd slow down more than a little - SO much of it just went right over the girls' heads. I mentioned it to the teacher, Rachel, and she said that by the third class the kids would get the routine of the class, and would be anticipating the actions. Well, sure, but that doesn't mean they'll know what to do, just that they run back and forth across the room with the other kids when the teacher says Shasse (sp?) Oh well - they had fun, and the other parents (all Moms, which is unfortunate for O - heck, there is only one boy in the class!) were nice too.
3. O is doing NaNoWriMo too. :) My other writing buddies are Ink Books Punk (I don't know any of her other names) and my Sign Interpretation teacher, Lady Cedre de Longres (sp?), whom I never get to see, or hardly even talk to, but love very much, so I'm glad we are doing this together. :) I'm also trying to get Freya to participate, since NaNo is free, and doesn't require leaving the house! :) Can you tell that NaNo makes me happy? Checkout the smileys! :)
Ack! That posted before I was done... here's the rest of what's on my tiny mind just now...
4. I still have no idea what to write for NaNo. I have a few ideas, but can always use more!
5. I need to get off my duff today and post the schedule for Mimir's. We have over 20 classes, but the building will absorb those easily, meaning we still have room for more. Ah well - maybe next year! Anyone who wants to save themselves some time at Gate can check out our pre-registration form accessible at mountainfreehold.org (You are too late for the discount, but saving time and hassle is always a good thing, eh?)
