We were up bright and early this morning and out the door to head to school for the Advent Assembly. Susannah was singing there.
It was soooo windy again today. It was +11c first thing this morning but soon cooled off to -3c by lunch time!! The wind just blew the warm weather in and right out again!! The flag outside of the school was flapping away!! It looked so lovely against the blue sky though!
We headed home and I finished prepping for my first students to arrive!
I taught my first class today. It seemed to go really well. I enjoyed meeting everyone and and loved the art they created. Each piece was so different and individual, and they were each able to go home at the end of the session with a completed canvas!!
They are all signed up for other classes in the New Year which is wonderful and it will be great to see them again!
It was the first time I had taught for a long while, but for a first time it went fine and the biggest challenge really was space. That won't be an issue come January, and neither will be clear-up afterwards!
Had a great chat with Nicole this afternoon too about future plans - so that is great news too!!
Once the class was over, I sat and had lunch with Abby and Sam, and then we spent the afternoon pottering about and chatting - we did some baton twirling together....and we worked on our online class. Abby and I printed off our next assignments and wrote about them in our journals and we decorated our journals too.
Sam worked on his pet store he has created...it helps him with his math and his money math in particular! He also did some art/ crafts for a while.
This evening the younger three went to their dads house while Laurence and I went to get him some jeans and a pair of headphones - his headphones keep breaking and he isn't sure why - he thinks his phone is breaking them....something with the connection....but we'll see I guess!! This last pair only lasted since Vegas!!
Today is the anniversary of the accident that sadly killed Mandy's children Ashley and Cameron. I think of them often. I think of Mandy often too and hope she is doing well.
Today is also my children's half sisters birthday. Ella Paige Fernandez. They have never met her. They will probably never know each other well, but at least I can say I always tried to make sure they knew they had a sister and every year I make sure to remind them it's her birthday today.
It isn't a date that is easily forgotten as she was born the same day as the accident :(
