park voyagers

at work i get to be the educator from adler to do park voyagers...i am the outreach educator after all.

that's what my can't miss meeting was about yesterday and i am officially pumped.

we're working with air resistance activities, but i loved hearing about what the other museums are doing for their activities. 5 museums are in the fall and 5 in the spring. we're with museum of science and industry, national museum of mexican art (which is where the meeting was...i just love that museum, even if we only saw the painting studio), museum of contemporary art, and the shedd. so we go out to 5 different parks during the 5 weeks, with two final weeks for a family workshop and hosting a group who will come to the museum on a saturday with their family.

i'm just so excited. it's generally in areas that need it and may have never been to a museum before. perfect.

and while hearing the other museums present their activities, i can't wait to sit down and read through them sometime this week and do it myself, to some extent. i was like i want to participate in the mca and national museum of mexican art ones so bad. (i know the activities are geared towards 8-10 year olds. i don't care.) mca is making their own installation piece! national museum of mexican art is making their own mural! i don't necessarily want to paint the mural, but i would love to watch them complete it.

hmmm...what do those interests say about me???

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
