Shawna's so funny. This afternoon Wakana offered her some treats. Shawna refused them so Wakana left them on the floor. A few minutes later we were startled by Shawna lunging at the treats. A little table nearly went over. We caught just a glimpse of an orange tail disappearing up the hall.

It seems Mika, in his infinite curiosity, stopped to check out the treats and Shawna was protecting them. We laughed for quite a while.

Today I went to the annual Language Arts Conference as part of my Master's program. I attended 7 breakout sessions on everything from Family Law through to science demonstrations you can do in the classroom. One workshop was about how to convert lessons to songs and get the kids to dance and sing them! What a crafty idea, one that would impress me more if I didn't know friends back home, and Wakana, who do it regularly.

The science demo included wind bags, UV beads, cow magnets, and other stuff. The presenter sounded like a walking advertisement for Stevespangler.com, the site for a workshop she attended last summer. Still it was a good demo.

Ah well, it's Saturday evening, the rest of the world is having fun or relaxing and for me, it's time to get to work. Sigh...
