The Gumby Project: Weeks 10 and 11

Week 10

Monday, March 7

We started a new system in our classroom. Each table has small jars 

that they are working to fill up, 

and we have a big classroom jar that we are working to fill up. 

The kids seem to like it, and so far it's working pretty well!

On our way to hip-hop at Ballet Austin. 

Cara, Travis, Tucker, AYO and I - FUN! 

Wednesday, March 9

 

I decided to get Whataburger for lunch before class.

These fries were the epitome of PERFECT. 

Perfect deserves a picture.

Thursday, March 10

 

We went to Midnight Rodeo to celebrate Spring Break and

get a little unofficial practice for our show coming up.

So fun!

Friday, March 11

 

A bunch of us went camping at Perdernales Falls State Park.

Cham, who was in charge of bringing charcoal, was late, as usual,

so we had to improvise on how to cook diner. 

It took SO LONG to start the fire - we had to go borrow lighter fluid and supplies 

from some high schoolers at the campsite next to us, because we didn't have any.

After the boys FINALLY got a fire started, it was probably about 10:00 at night. 

Cham still wasn't there yet, so they ended up putting the skillet directly on the logs. 

...interesting.

I felt like I should take a picture of Gumby

"Near the Perdernales River, 'neath a live oak tree," 

However, we didn't see any live oak trees at the part of the river

where we were, so this will have to do.

Week 11

Sunday, March 13

 

SoCo adventures: including Uncommon Objects, Big Top,

eating lots of junk from trailers and my first

Hey Cupcake! experience.

What a wonderful perfect Sunday.

Monday, March 14

 

I got my cap and gown! 

Tuesday, March 15

 

Had a fun morning with Tucker, AYO, and Cricket, then

made the drive from Austin to Tyler.

I thought it would be nice to spend a few days at home.

Wednesday, March 16

Mom and I spent the day shopping in Dallas.

That night, I went to meet some of my friends from high school at IHOP.

We sat at the same table we've been sitting at for the last 5 years. 

Some things never change. :) 

Thursday, March 17

 

I had forgotten that I bought about a billion WarHeads

(during our SoCo trip to Big Top Candy Shop) 

and threw them all in my purse. 

AWESOME. 

Friday, March 18

 

Perfect Spring Break activity - TIE DYE.

We had a sweet tie-dye party in the backyard, 

complete with Disney music, cookie cake and tons of snacks.

Afterward, we went inside to play ImagineIff, which produced much laughter. 

I think my dog enjoyed the party more than anyone though.

He's never had so much attention at one time, he didn't know what to do with it all. 

Saturday, March 19

Back to Austin!

Mexican food and margs in Westlake with some Singers.

Then, movie night at Dean's.

Tomorrow... back to school. 

Bummer!
