April Currently

April 2, 2015 By fancyfreein4th

Happy April everyone! I am so glad we made it through the long month that is M.A.R.C.H!  It has been a long month and I am officially ready for Spring Break!  I am excited to kick off April with the first Linky that got me into blogging. Thank you 100×100 Farley for this fantastic linky where we all get to connect a little more on a real level!

{Listening:} The sweet sound of silence…. which is rare with two wildlings living in an 100 year old house! This one even put himself to sleep tonight! 

{Loving:} I haven’t pulled an April Fools’ Day prank on a class in years!  BUT spur of the moment I created this nonsense April Fool’s Day Word Search Puzzle to totally stump my kids and it worked like a charm.  I had them pick one up after their finished their math quiz and I almost collapsed in a fit of giggles while watching them strain over this puzzle, thinking they found a word but not! I actually video recored the moment when I told them it was an April Fool’s Day prank and shared it with the entire school via Google+.

{Thinking:} I feel truly blessed to live in our neighborhood. We go on walks almost everyday and we run into so many young families who have kids that are around the same age as ours.  We have so many of our closest friends near by and it is wonderful. Yesterday we went to a midweek birthday party down the street and I met even more wonderful people! I am excited to have my kids grow up here.

{Wanting:}I have had so many students in my class coughing and out with the flu.  My own little ones had pink eye at the beginning of the month and last week they had  stomach flu. I am praying for some good health for all my kiddos.

{Needing:} Tonight my husband and I are going to a concert in L.A and we are staying the night! Thanks to my amazing Mother in Law for giving us an evening away! All I have to do is pack!

{Eggs-plain Your Name:} I love that this is the last part of this month’s Currently because my name came up over a recent double date with one of our favorite couples.  Over dinner I was called out on my name! Well, let me set the story straight! My given name is Eulalla- pronounced U-Layla (gotta love those silent e’s). I was named after my great grandma on my dad’s side. He loved his grandma so much that he promised his first born girl would take her name. All my life I have gone by Layla, with the exception of a 2 day Eulalla trial period full of “Hey you- Layla and Ukulele jokes from my family’s friends.  Well after that trial period my parents decided it was easier to go by Layla- which was the nickname that my great grandma went by as well.  All my life my real name was my GIANT deep, dark secret! My mom even enrolled me in school using Layla rather than Eulalla.  When I looked up the meaning of my real name it means well spoken, which I like.
