Shaving Cream and Modeling Clay

Yesterday was the last day of school before a whole week off! The staff had our chocolate day on Thursday but there was so much food that we left it so we could have it again on Friday! YUMMY! I have never seen so many cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, chocolate bars, and chocolate covered strawberries before in one place! It was more than a chocolate factory! The people in my school love food and so if they can find a reason to bring food in, they will. I don't mind making something now and then for them. It's fun. The staff was ready for break yesterday and so were the kids! I thought since it's the last day, let's do something fun! My first two classes cancelled, so I only have 4 classes. The first one that I had only one student showed up. We read a silly book and played a quick game of hang man. She loves hang man, so I let her play it. My next class we did work. Then my kindergartners came. I HATE touching shaving cream, but I thought that they would love it if they could play with it. I put some on the table for each of them so we could write letters in it. YUCK! They were so funny that I forgot how much I hate shaving cream and just started laughing! Somehow, I managed to get it in my hair, the kids too! It was really fun. My final class I brought in buckets of water and modeling clay so they could make boats to race in the water. I'm not the biggest fan of modeling clay either, but we tried to make boats. Some of them got the idea and they floated, one however was not happy that he couldn't just make any shape. All in all, they had fun, but they were ready for vacation too!
At belly dance last night I told them that I couldn't do the hafla. I have so much on my plate with this new job that spending my free time to prepare for dance is not in my best interest. I feel bad. T_T I wanted to dance at it, but I need all my free time to prep for my teaching week. Maybe I can be in the next one! That would be cool. I will go and watch my friends dance. They are going to be great!
Today is the spinning guild meeting. I want to buy some new fibers because my pretty blue one is a little hard for me to use right now. I think once I get more comfortable with spinning I can try that again! I have been looking forward to this meeting since I found out about the guild. Today I have the chance to try every one's wheel. I can get a feel for what kind of wheel I really like. I love "little peanut", but I will have to return him to his rightful home someday. His owner has been great about me using him. She said I can keep borrowing him for as long as I like but I have to be using him not just looking at him. We are going to get a workout at the guild today! ^_^
