this past week was crazy.  not a single full day of school.  monday we had staff in-service…woo hoo!  for those of you that are teachers out there you can sense my sarcasm. tuesday and wednesday we had 2 hour delays because of snow, and thursday and friday were completely cancelled because of snow and ice.

i can tell i’m really becoming a teacher down deep because though i don’t complain when we have days off of school for weather, i really would rather be in school because i know what i want to get done and what i actually have planned.  as far as proof that it snows in the desert, here are some pics from saturday morning.

you can see leia in the picture above.  as you can see the video from my last post is quite old based on how big leia is now.  currently she’s a gigantic puppy with no understanding of how big she it.  in spite of her size though, marley still feels like she can boss her around.  throughout the day we hear marley (in her language) telling leia “no!”, “sit”, and “stay”.

with the time off of school i took zoe to the movie theater for the first time.  for those of you that know zoe at all, you understand why i’ve been a little hesitant to take her to a public theater, what with respect to silence in the theater and all.  we saw the princess and the frog and fortunately we were the only ones in the theater.  turns out she was pretty much engrossed the entire time and didn’t even take the time to remove her winter jacket. she liked the movie and during our trip to albuquerque on friday got some princess tiana pajamas from the disney store.

zoe also started ballet class this past week.  she loves it and likes to show us everything she’s learned from the bear crawl

to the bunny hop

to the “princess moves”…her favorite of course

needless to say, zoe and marley keep us busy from sun-up to sun-down.  it’s been fun seeing marley start to grow up and be able to interact with zoe.  they’re really learning to play together and though at this point play times usually end up with zoe doing something to make marley start screaming, its great to see them start to get closer as sisters.

on another note, last night we had people over for korean/asian food and games.  just regular games, not korean games…though i do miss those.  we definitely need to get some people together to play that game where you take turns jumping on the person’s back who’s bent forward against the wall…don’t remember the name.  bought some kimchi from the albertson’s and was actually pleasantly surprised.

well that sums up the past week for us.  because of the weather i got to spend a lot of time at home with laura and the girls which i’m really grateful for.  it’ll be nice to hopefully get back to a regular week of school now, however it looks like another snow storm may be coming through at the end of the week.  we’ll just see what happens.  hope you all are doing well and i hope you’re proud of me for keeping this up for almost a month.  talk to you all soon.
