Paper Time Line

So my little sister Julie is GETTING MARRIED!! To make sure she knows how much time is left before she becomes Mrs. Kinney, I made her a paper chain Time Line! She gets to take off one chain a day. I put every Month in a different color so its easy to see :)

I set it up when she was in Alabama visting her man and when she came home she was shock and so happy when she called me!!  (holla for the best MOH ever!!)

This is such an exciting time and I'm so happy that I'm we live in the same area!! Wedding Dress shopping this weekend!!!!

Students are my Favorite

My job allows me to act like a child. Which is awesome. Teaching 6th and 7th grade is great for this, because they have NO idea how old adults are. Yesterday I had a kid from last year come up and say

"MS. FELDMAN!! I know how old you are!!!"

Me- "Awesome."

Kid: "Your 28 and Mrs. Rhody is 27!!"

Me- "Cool."

Very close student, but I'm 25 and Mrs. Rhody is 28. Very close.

Today we had another class come in and explain the Mock Elections we will be having on Monday, the Obama representative was talking and said

"I have a plan to get the troops out in 2 years and create more jobs..."

One of mine says "YAAAA... He said that 4 years ago and it didn't happen!"

My little cookies are so smart.

OTHER FUNNIES:::


Logan: "We had to pick team names in Health, we're The Ms. Feldmans!!!!"

******

Pete: "I could try out for cheerleader! I can wear a skirt!"
Ryan:"I could for sure! I have the legs for it!!"

******

More to come later. These kids are great.

Wow its been over year!!

Well it's been over a year since I posted last. Which is very sad, because my life has been wonderful and crazy, not unpostable. I am teaching at the same Jr. High I went to, I'm the cheer sponsor and love it. I have had a couple more friends get married and have gone on some aweseome trips. I now life downtown with my great friend Alex, who is getting married in August!! WHOOOP! I couldn't been more excited for her. I love Robert and couldn't pick out a better man for her. Tara and Tina have gotten married too.

School is my favorite.

Tayln: Ms. Feldman I'm a dolphin!!

Michelle: Ms. Feldman why aren't you married!? Have you tried Match.com?!

Taylor: Ms. Feldman, can we stay in your class all day like in 5th grade?

Lucciono: I wish I had an evil twin

Jasmin: Get your butte out of my face!!

Carlos: I can't take off my shoes in Ms. Feldman's class! We just came from football!

Brandon: Ms. Feldman, is this right?!

I need to post some pictures of all the weddings..

I should be posting pictures of the 7 weddings I went to this summer, but I don't have the time! So here is my favorite one from the wedding of Shannon Smith and Tyler Hitt. This wedding was awesome for a few reasons, one of course because these two belonged to the group of friends I ran around with in college, but also because they are just amazing together. This was one of my favorite weddings! They are moving to OK city (sad) but Tyler's sister and Shannon's family live in my area! So yay!!

I have been busy teaching 5th grade. My kids are crazy!! But that makes it fun and always interesting. On Friday one of my girls was upset at another little girl and was telling me she really wanted to hit someone, or something. I told her to hit my hand, and I held it up for her. Two of my boys put their hands on top of mine saying "No Ms. Feldman, she'll hurt you!! " They were very scared for me! AW!! They are the greatest!! Okay, One more picture from another awesome wedding! This is Andrew (in the Pink) He was Ryan's roommate at UT for a year. He married the beautiful Tatum. I had never met her before and told him "Andrew, she's BEAUTIFUL!!" He told me "Hee hee, I tricked her!" Haha, wonderfully fun wedding!

Weddings Weddings Everywhere!!

So Far this summer I have been in two weddings and have been to one other as a guest. Buy I am also going to my oldest friend's wedding next Friday, Ryan's Roommate Andrew's Wedding next month, Ryan's cousin's wedding at the end of August AND a sweet Shannon's in September! This is getting out of hand and I love IT!

To the left and above is Ashley and Jakes wedding! That was the greatest wedding so far because I've known Jake since 7th grade and I lived with Ashley my senior year at A&M. I love them both and dont know what I would do with out them sometimeS!

The next wedding was the Robinsons... But I havent uploaded those pictures yet.. :( More to come later on that one.

After was the Swinney's. Another Ashley but her man is Drew. Now Ashley was in at least two of my classes every semster at A&M. She was my person to tell everything to! She is a little firecracker and I miss her all the time!

Best Nanny Ever.

Okay, so Im not the best Nanny ever, but I will be after this summer. Then I will write a book on how others can do the same thing. But so far, this is what I got to make being a Nanny easy.

1. Penny Trivia

I ask each kid a question in the car, if they get the answer correct, I give them a check mark. Which is worth a Penny. As the questions go on I as them if they have 39 questions correct; how many nickels, dimes, or quarters do they each have. I know this sounds silly but the kids I've tried it with have loved it, then I'll take them to McDs or wherever they want, but they can only use how much "money" they've earned.

2. GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!

I plan an outting at least once a week; movie, mall, lunch with one of my friends that they know, museum, baseball game, beach if its close, bluebell icecream factory, or a city owned park. They love it and it gives you something to look forward to.

But everyday they need to get off the couch and ride bikes, go swimming, for a walk, or go to a playground! Kids might think they want to sit and watch Disney Channel, but they dont and it will drive you crazy!!

3. Show them something NEW

Today I showed my girls a game on the web that I was allowed to play in High School because of the educational value. They love games, but this one, you learn!

www.addictinggames.com/50states.html

I think its fun and it helps the kids LEARN a bit while on their summer vacation!

More to come later...

Paul and Jenni are getting MARRIED!!

Well, I was right! My family is growing!! My big brother asked his girlfriend Jenni to marry him!

Last Thursday Paul took her out to a nice meal because she is going out of town this week. They went out to a nice dinner when he went out of town on business, so it seemed like a normal thing. Well, they went to Perry's and Paul called ahead and had rose petals put on the table. (AWW!) She asked why and he just said "I dont know" Then he asked if she wanted to order a bottle of wine. She said "We never get wine..?" He ordered it anyway and thought he better do this quick! Jenni said later that he just kept saying "I love you" over and over, and she was waiting for a "but.." but than he got down on one knee!!! And asked her to marry him!!!

I am so happy that Paul and Jenni are a perfect match! I love Jenni and am so happy that I get a sister that lives in Houston!!! Happy Happy Day!
