Just got home from multicultural night at HDMS. Thomas’ project was on the Chickasaw Indians. My great, great grandfather was a Chickasaw and Thomas used this picture of him in the project. Thomas also played the part of Atlas in a play about Perseus getting the head of Medusa. Those kids are amazing!!! Loved it!!!

Sweet Thomas was down with a tummy bug on Saturday and Sunday …. What better place is there to be when you don’t feel well, except right there with your legos! He’s better today y’all. He went to school, there was no convincing him to rest for one more day. He LOVES school and his teacher!

Another multicultural project complete for Lillian …. The Hieroglyphic News Journal fresh from the presses! She had fun putting this together!

It so adds to my joy and fuels my passion getting the opportunity to present to a fabulous audience who GET IT, are moved by IT and I leave them with at least a little bit more knowledge than when I arrived! Just finished presenting to the NxLeveL Nevada instructors about Social Media, Turning Views Foundation and Gift a Voice! WoooooHoooooo!

Throwback Post: In the High Desert With Cornichons and Peaches

So very grateful to have the opportunity and option for Thomas and Lillian to attend High Desert Montessori! These are two of the quotes on the walls in Thomas’ building.

Thomas loves going there and loves his teacher, Mrs. Nicole. Lillian is happy and I love everything about it. This is our 2nd year at HDMS and it was such a relief to get rid of the constant back and forth about Lillian and her IEP at the traditional public school. Her IEP went from over 30 pages to about 7 pages when we moved to HDMS.

Thomas did have some rough bumps last year, but since he switched teachers after Spring Break last year, it’s been wonderful. Plus, over the summer the Friends of HDMS bought the building Lillian’s class is in AND the office building next door! Now, we’ve got the room for a HDMS High School (currently stops at 8th grade). YAY!! We LOVE HDMS!

**************

Cornichons! Bought these thinking they were just tiny pickles. WOW! They are tart! The more I eat em the more I like em! Definitely a different flavor. Just did a search online and found: Cornichons are pickled French gherkins and not cucumbers. They are related but not the same plant race. YUM and You’re Welcome!

Parent tip: When you’re lovely 7 year old asks every 2 minutes “where are we” when traveling and you are in the same city you were in the last 20 times they asked, try this: “We are in between where we were & where we’re going”. It worked fantastic with Lillian this weekend – it slowed down the recurrence of the “where are we” question!! I was pretty proud of myself!

How Did You Make That

A mom with a cute lil blinky hat, a fairy princess, and a fortune teller had a great time at the HDMS chili festival and craft fair! So many creative people with great creations for sale! Loved it!

Thomas was in heaven seeing all the things people make. He was going from table to table asking how they made it. He said he kept getting asked why he was so interested.
