Wow. Snow!

12th February 2010

We woke up to temps in the mid 30s and dry as can be instead of a nice layer of school canceling snow. But a few hours later, during the middle of teaching my class, I looked out the window and it was snowing very heavily. I let the students out a few minutes early, kitted up, and headed home for a fun bike ride through the snow. Then shortly after I got home, Kristine, Josiah, and I headed out through the woods to pick up Analise and walk her home. Josiah’s friend Jonathan was outside playing in the snow so he stayed with them while Kristine and I went to pick up Analise. Here’s all the pics…

Snow day?

12th February 2010

It’s looking like it might actually snow tomorrow! Winter storm warning with 2-4″ predicted. The heaviest snow is going to be just north of Mobile, AL on the gulf coast with up to 8″ of snow!

Learning to Scrabble

6th February 2010

Brian and I have found a fun Scrabble game to play ony iPhone, called Words with Friends (and it’s free!). One fun advantage is that you can essentially place “try” various combinations of letters, click ‘submit’, and you might find yourself lucky enough to have created an actual word that you’ve never heard of. For example, “readorns”, “baud” and “beefy”. Can you believe “beefy” is actually a word?!?

Brian tweeted this photo of Josiah, saying he was teaching him to play Words with Friends. Just what we need… a 3-year old learning real-but-not-normal words. Before I know it, he’ll be beating me at Scrabble!
