At each table in the snack room, they placed this card with a few discussion starters on it. Sarabeth had some great answers to some of them including "Tim Tebow" and "4th of July in Laramie." It was great to talk with her one on one while we shared brownies and punch.
Taking a quick break from dancing to enjoy some punch and brownies. We will be getting our picture taken next then more dancing!!
My beautiful date and I are off to the annual Daddy/Daughter Dance sponsored by the city of Greeley. I asked her where she wanted to have dinner tonight, and we ended up at one of the nicest Chinese places in town. Now, off to the dance!
Both of the big boys are at friends places tonight, so the four of us are having a big night out on the town. First dinner at Farmers, then a quick stop at Hastings and a stop at King Scoopers for a few supplies. I suggested we walk down to the Blue Mug for the open mic night. The place was packed! Great to see the support from the community for a locally owned coffee shop. We got to see several of Mrs. Roths former students sing a few songs. The kids were playing on some girls iPad and iPhone while listening to the music. Next stop DQ for ice cream!
Back at Frontier this morning to help with Nathanael's class and their cow eye disection. More on that later. Since I'm here, I decided to sit with the kids during lunch. Sister packed the Nerf hoop I won at the Frito party for snow and tell today. Too bad it has the CU logo on it.
Stopped by to drop off a little Starbucks to Mrs. Roth today. She was on her planning period so she allowed me to snap this picture of her at her desk. Her father-in-law would be proud.
Had a few minutes to kill before getting the kids, so I thought I'd pop into Hastings and check out a few books. This is what I saw. Evidently there aren't enough people in this town of 100,000 to support even one bookstore. ONE BOOKSTORE??? So as of February 18, the options for us Greeley folks will be....Walmart, Sams, Family Bookstore, and King Scoopers to buy books. Pretty sad. There is still a Barnes and Nobel in Loveland, but that's a 15 minute drive. We will all be forced to get a Kindle simply because there aren't any bookstores left.
Mostly sadness in Colorado tonight after a terrible first half by the Broncos. This could be Satan's biggest win since the Garden of Eden. I hate Brady and everything Boston. Maybe the last Tebow of the season.
Working on math and writing tonight. Nathanael is really loving his advanced math class. Sarabeth shared the entire story of Jack and the Beanstalk using props she made in class today before starting on her homefun.
Still enjoying the brutal Colorado winter here in Greeley. Kids even had to put on their fleece jackets to ride around the neighborhood. Hopefully we can get Sarabeth up on a bike this year!
Somehow, Little D has a way of asking/conning me into bringing him lunch on my days off. Today he used the incentive that he had a coupon for a free taco. So, he got lunch today from Del Taco. And geeze, for a guy who doesn't like girls, there sure are a lot that sit next to him at lunch.
Denver and Tebow 29, Pittsburgh 23. CBS crew does some Tebowing. Hope they enjoyed their crow. Go Broncos. On to New England.
Just finished the white elephant gift exchange at the Frito Lay post holiday, pre Broncos playoff game party in Ft. Collins. we won a Neft hoop with the CU logo on it. Go us.
