Our garden is growing!

It has been 3 or 4 weeks since we've planted out garden and things are growing! Since this picture our corn is now almost a foot high and our melon has grown into a delicious afternoon snack! :)

Welcome to my new classroom!

yey! We have successfully moved into our new Boys and Girls Club. Thanks to our donors we were able to move into a brand new 1.7 million dollar building. It has been such a positive change and our new space just gives us the opportunity to really do our jobs. I decided since we were taking the kids into a new atmosphere, why not explore our atmosphere and universe by making the theme of the room based around the solar system. There are still materials that have not come in just but so far things are looking well. So, here is, my new classroom! :)

A taste for wine and murder...

We got to take part in a murder mystery dinner. We joined our Vero friends to the Sly Mondavid Winery located in Napa Valley ;) for some delicious wine tasting. I was Ms. Bonnie Lass a Scottish tourist and Nick was Papa Vito an older Italian man who worked on the Sly Mondavid winery all his life. Somebody had murdered the owner 5 years ago and his body had just been found. Along with us there were other suspects Tiny Bubbles, Merilyn Merlot, Otto Von Schnapps, Mr. Rottengrape, Hedy, and Bud Weiser. Our meal revolved around question and answers sessions, evidence revelations, and lots of laughter. We had a great time and to my surprise, Papa Vito (Nick)ended up being the murder! :)

Garden spider

Nick and I were enjoying some time outside when we noticed this really neat garden spider and it’s web. Look at that detail!
