School Is Fun?

Yaaaay! We finished our first, fun-filled week of summer school, and it was really nice. I enjoyed the kids, the activities, and using iPad movies, games and video clips. Now, it is one more week, and then a week off! 

Even while I'm "teaching" we had time to go to Sasha's baseball (yes, dear, I know it's fast-pitch softball!) games. It is so much fun watching her get better and better. She not only had some awesome line-drive hits this week, she is able to wait for the good pitches. While the team was warming up for the River Valley game, Phil and I went to the Rock n' Roll Drive-In. It was fun to eat at a non-chain diner with some atmosphere and good food. A detour on the way to Spring Green was actually a bonus. It gave us an opportunity to see some beautiful parts of Wisconsin I don't ever remember seeing before.

Our Treasures Group of friends met at Krista's for lunch. We said good-bye to Donna who quit teaching (which is very sad because she is an awesome teacher). She is moving to Chicago to take a non-teaching job for real pay.

Friday night we used my gift card to go see Bad Teacher. It was really funny, but very baaaad and definitely rated R so the girls won't be seeing it anytime soon. What is up with movies? First, every little kid movie is PG, then PG-13 is aimed at tween kids, and all the really good movies for teens are moving up to "R". Phil thinks they should come up with different versions for the DVD's. All these funny movies could so easily be funny without the "R" and "PG-13" stuff.

Wine-tasting and Granite City with friends was a lot of fun, too. This week, I even had time to finish reading The Greater Journey by David McCullough, cook some new recipes and continue taking afternoon naps!
