Wonderful Day

I took my loaner wheel to school today. I demoed it for the fourth graders and they loved it! I had four fourth grade classes and it went so well. The teachers all said thank you to me and the kids all day kept coming up and saying how much they enjoyed seeing the wheel demo. They were learning about colonial times. Today was their colonial day festival. All day they they had the chance to try doing different colonial activities. One room they were making candles, in another they were quilting, learning to write with quill pens, and finally they could try tin punched art. It was a fun day. The teachers all dressed up in colonial outfits. It was really fun. Of course, the rest of the day all my kids wanted to know about the wheel and why it was in our room. I was impressed that my kindergartners didn't touch it at all once I told them they could look at it but only with their eyes.
Tonight I got a fish fry for dinner and watched the 1980 something movie War Games. Totally cheesy, but it was fun to watch it! The fish fry was the first one I've had since my Japanese friend Yoshino moved back to Japan. That was last May. Oh, it was so good! I love fish fry on cold snowy nights. Lake effect snow bands close to us have now gained national attention. Owego has gotten over 100 inches in the past few days. That's madness! We have been getting a bit of snow here. Yesterday we had snow falls that were creating white outs as I drove to work. The snow is so pretty when it falls, but the dusting off the cars every ten minutes gets old quick! I hope to get some skiing in really soon! ^_^
