Waiting
I am so sick of waiting. Seems like lately everything comes with waiting. I feel like I am waiting for everything with no real answers. Kinda like living in limbo and it really stinks. I feel like I am not really living but just going through the motions until the wait period is over. I am hopeful that this week and coming month will put an end to the waiting and I can get on with the planning, moving forward and "really" living again. I'll keep you all posted and until then you will have to wait with me.

Slacker

I know , I know I have been a total slacker on this blog this month and I apologize. But honestly I have been a total slacker in all areas of my life and I hope I am out of this rut and moving in a more motivated direction. Hey, I am blogging so that's a positive sign!
I also have been helping in Anna's class alot lately. They are making a class book called " The Important Thing About Kindergarten" and I am helping each student write their final draft and picture to go with it. I only have about 5 kids left and it's turning out so cute. It's so fun to work with them one on one, you learn alot more about them. It also helps me gage where Anna is in her class as far as learning goes. Since she is the youngest I always worry she may be struggling, but it seems she's right in the middle of the group progress wise and that's perfect. I don't need her to be the smartest kid, just want her to not be struggling and so it looks like she's doing great. Once the pages are complete the teacher is having it printed and parents will be able to purchase a copy, how cute is that??
Anna is also enjoying her Hip Hop class and has been practicing at home. She also has been invited to try a gymnastics class with her friend Amanda and is counting down the days until she goes in April. She also told me spring is the best time of the year since we have had a few days where we could play at the park or in the yard and they have even gotten to play outside at school more often. We are both anxiously waiting for the "real" spring weather to kick in so we can have 50-60 degree days all the time instead of only occassionally.
Tomorrow we are going to attempt to teach Anna how to make Ukranian Easter eggs. It's been awhile since my mom and I have done it as well, so it will be a referesher course for us as well. If all else fails we'll just make regular Easter Eggs,LOL! I will post pics if I am not too embarrassed with how they turn out.

And I think that's it. I was really sick for almost 2 weeks and I still can't totally shake this cough. So we didn't do too much fun stuff. Hopefully April will be more fun and eventful.
Happy Spring!

For Aunt Helena

Well Helena, it looks like Anna has gotten your artistic talent. This is her picture from art class and all I can say is I don't think I could even paint something like this,LOL! By the way this picture is very poor compared to how bright and nice it looks in person. Obviosly her art teacher is teaching them some great techniques. And she would paint all day if I let her. I plan to mat and frame this one, it's just so cute. I also plan to get her some blank canvases so she can make new creations of her own.
Now, if I could just get her to be as interested in reading!!
