May Day

Hello All,

Today is May Day! How exciting. We are not celebrating however. Matt had his first final of the week today. I am anxious that he is leaving and jealous also of his experience. I know he will have a good time. I just starting a job unit with the students at school at it is eerie that I only have 3 more weeks with the kiddos. A lot of trials this year but I know I will miss a lot of them all the same. I already have the jitters about next school year and this one is not even through yet!

I started a painting class and completed my first ever painting. I would say it is ok for a first time. It is a still life of a vase, books and candle. Wednesday we are going to do a landscape and I am nervour about that. I do not know what picture to choose. She said to pick one according to skill level, so something not too detailed. I will take a photo of all the paintings I do and post them once the class is completed.

Last night I finished up Pride and Prejudice. Several people just could not believe I had not read it, so I did. It took me awhile and I blame that on it being my first ever iPad reading experience. It just did not feel natural! And the iPad really is as heavy as a book! Today I started World War Z and I am not sure I will continue, but I will give you a review if I do finish. I am one book behind for April, so I need to get on it!

In other news, still battling the ants in the kitchen...
Also, I saw my parents last weekend and we went to the art museum. It was pretty cool. Check it out if you ever have a lot of free time-there is so much to see! Mummies, armor, cool furniture, waterlillies by Monet, pottery and several other nice pieces are all on display.

How are you spending your first day of May? I hope the weather is beautiful. I'm making vegetarian lasagna tonight or else I'd try for a picnic! Have a great day!
