How We Roll, pt II

The second best part of my job is the opportunity I have to personally create and deliver unique opportunities for students to learn (and become excited about) math and science. The most recent example of this was the organic chemistry workshop that I hosted this past Saturday for a dozen high school students who were ready to be awed by some chemistry (and no, I don't know much about chemistry... but I know how to hire someone who does). Anyhow, this particular workshop called for a morning split between two locations (the local high school and the local college just 4 blocks away)... which brings us to the point of this blog entry and the new job title that I can add to my resume: Mr. Bus Driver.

Of course, I first had to complete my bus orientation (self-guided, no less). And like everything else in our household, it couldn't be anything less than a family affair. Hop in kiddos. Enjoy the ride. No chewing gum. Watch your step. And keep all of your body parts IN the bus.

PS.... here's the link to How We Roll, part I ... because it just never gets old.

Blog Defibrillation

Wow... only one entry in the entire month of February. Besides being our all-time low (yes, I looked it up... the previous low was 3); I think that low number pretty much summarizes the extent to which our February schedule politely and unquestionable kicked our behinds. Well... if nothing else I can say that leap day is about to pay off in 2012: Twenty-four more hours to resuscitate the blog before the next month rolls around. Welcome to the leap day blog cram.

[... clear!]

What you missed: Mommy had a birthday, Daddy got baptized, Naomi perfected the commando crawl, Jasmine fell on her face (and was rewarded with a grayish-brown tooth and a visit to the dentist), Justin stumped daddy with a math question (is zero even or odd?... or neither?), and the family celebrated Valentine's day on February 22 and reaped the benefits of 90% discounts on all things hearted and chocolate. Welcome to our world.

Bumpy Roads

As usual, no blog posts for a couple of weeks means that things have gotten a little bit hectic for our household. Things have picked up at work, everyone at home has taken their turn at being sick (Jasmine won the grand prize with a staph infection that took 3 weeks to subside), and mommy is about to get a stretch of I-26 named after her to commemorate her consecutive weekend passages to Greenville and back. Nothing major. Just the typical turbulence we all hit every now and then as life takes flight. Fasten your seat beats and adjust your tray tables. My hope is that we'll be coming in for a landing sooner than later.

Imagination: Jasmine decided that Tasha's legs made a great seatbelt.

And there's no better steering wheel than a yellow plastic spatula.
