Pie in the Face!

My Aunt sent us a game to bring joy, laughter, and some calories to our lives.  My mom brought the Heavy Whipping Cream from Costco and the Eye of the Tiger!

Mi sobrino...got it every turn!  Poor thing.

Yummy!

Basketball

Our students love basketball.  My elbows did not like it at all.  I'm still having tennis elbow pain in both elbows due to dribbling the ball (with both hands) from 9 AM till 3 PM for two months.







I'm still queen of BUMP and have the most shots made in a minute.  I mask my pain well!

Gymnastics...I'm in my 40's! This is Crazy!

When was the last time I did a one leg twirl around a bar?  Maybe 35 years ago!  This past week I was wondering how I got back into twirling around the high bar in my 40's!

The High bar
Setting it up every morning and putting it away every afternoon is painstakingly time consuming.  But the kids are seeming to like it.  12 minute run is next.....I'm excited if they have improved on their laps.

Free Tickets to Winterhawks Game

When it's free and a new experience....count me in almost every single time!  I do have some regulations based on integrity.




And we won in the overtime shot out!  It was very exciting and informative since I'll be teaching floor hockey in the next couple months.  Yikes!

Pot Liquor

I watched a show where they made pot liquor and it was fascinating that people put greens into a pot of boiling water (with some meat) and then drank the liquid.  And they said it was good.  Well, this I had to try!

I cooked onions, carrots, and celery in butter for 5-10 minutes.

Then I put a ham bone in the pot.

Next, I poured water into the pot had it boil for an hour.

Here is the pot liquor I got!


It was good.  The next day I crock-potted a pork shoulder in the pot-liquor for 10 hours.  They made great BQ sliders.  The pork meat slide right off the bone.

Got a Grant!

It's so exciting to get free money, spend the money, and then see the smiles on the kid's faces when they use what you bought!  I had to blur out their faces due to privacy issues.
Standing Long Jump



The Fitness Skillastics Game

Leaders go to the main board to roll the dice and move their bean bag to the next exercise.

The leaders go back to their group, so the group where the exercise is on the board, and lead them into movement.
