Pics from the Week - 3/25/12

This week was busy as usual for the Freelands.  On Friday I helped out in Joey's kindergarten class and gave a presentation on Association Management to Tommy's 7th/8th grade AVID class.  I was so nervous! I talk in front of people all the time but this was in front of 30 preteens and that is a whole different ballgame.  I had to talk for the full class period and have an activity for the class to do.  I asked Tommy what other professions had been presented this year and he said a scientist, nurse, and soldier.  Hmmm.... nobody presenting about their job that involves meetings on top of meeeting to recap meetings? 

I used Prezi to make an interactive presentation instead of powerpoint, showed up in a business suit and heels, and spent a good portion of the time discussing interview skills.  I figured that aspect of my job is the most relevent to them, and gave them real life examples of what not to do in an interview.  I knew I could make them laugh with some of the crazy things people have said in interviews to me.  In the end Tom said it was "cool" so I guess I did a good job.  :o)

Here's a glipse of the rest of our week...

Logan requested a "picnic basket and an apple" Monday night and about a half hour later I found him
sitting in the pantry having a picnic for one.  So cute.

My favorite drink in the world is a bellini.  This week I had blood oranges from our Farm Fresh to You box
and a tiny bottle of champagne.  Just enough to make a perfect drink!

Joey's "Family Homework" for March was to design a family flag using symbols.  He included an Italian flag for his Italian language classes, Irish flag for being Irish, the Freeland family crest, a heart because we love each other, Mickey Mouse for our trips to Disneyland, the Golden Gate Bridge because his favorite city is San Francisco and a picture of the beach for our annual beach house trip with the family.  

Very nice to be appreciated!  Walked into a board meeting on Wednesday to find these at my seat from the board members. 

Preschool closed at noon on Thursday so I took Logan and Emmie to the zoo.

Emmie ready for her day at Ms. Christina's house on Friday complete with her Dora Ballerina backpack.

After a long day of playing and running around without a nap, Emmie fell fast asleep at the top of the stairs.

Joey brought home his latest kindergarten journal and I loved reading every page.  This page says, "My mommy and me are making cookies.  The cookies are ready.  I like the cookies."  So adorable!
