Spring Break

Huzzah for spring break! March has been a rough month. I've been counting down the days to spring break for awhile! I was able to put away the sewing machines on Friday. That was a happy day. Teaching a class full of students how to sew for four hours straight is incredibly taxing in every way. By this last week it wasn't as bad. After two weeks they sort of had it. That was nice! I had my big observation on Tuesday. The lesson went great I thought, but my scores were just okay. I can't decide if I should be upset about it or not. I got mostly proficient scores and a few distinguished. I mean if I have all distinguished than I can only go down and/or have to be perfect forever so maybe being good enough is well...good enough.  

With WGU I finally passed my first task on my final class. I have been actively trying to pass it for a month. It's been disheartening, but I finally passed...huzzah. I turned in task two yesterday. We will see if it takes me a month to pass task 2. Ha. Now I need to try to read a bunch of terrible long scientific articles and write a literary review, which is something I've never done, and I am dreading big time. Wish me all the luck.

I wanted to do something fun for spring break so we went to Givens Hot Springs (an hour drive away) last night after I turned in my paper. The water is so nice! The place is a little dumpy but I don't care, I grew up swimming in a ditch and the water is WARM! Today I've had to take a break from WGU so I'm starting my painting project even though my sisters and mom are coming to help me on Thursday. I want to do the accent wall by myself. I'm too picky and even if I can't do it perfectly at least the mistakes will be mine. 

Well this spring break I am painting my bedroom (with some help) trying to do WGU, trying to rest, and trying to do a few fun things with the kids. 

Gabby had to register for her 7th grade classes and she had to pick her two electives. OMG! The amount of tears and the back and forth trying to decide. It about did me in. Parenting, am I right? 

Scott didn't get accepted into the ISU program which surprised us, so who knows what he will decide to do.  

Corbin and Gabby had a sleepover, they are both friends with siblings so that worked out. Corbin is still chill as ever. Gabby manages to be a ball of stress most nights trying to do her homework or whatever. Oy! Piper has decided she wants to try to take dancing again next year so she is stretching out on the yoga mat. To quote Ryan, "I'm a little obsessed with Japanese culture." Um okay. So that's the deal over at the Cannon household.  

Practicing some stretches and moves. Wowza.

A little light reading.

Givens!

Gabby's late night starry night assignment. 

It's hard to read but Piper left a very cute note to the leprechaun a leprechaun? Telling him that she was sorry she didn't build a house yet and promising  that she will make it and that she tried. She still hasn't made it and also why in the heck is she making it? Where do these ideas come from and when did everything become a thing? I can't keep up.

Gabby made a homework fort one night.
