Here you'll find my observations about teaching art, unit ideas and results, and any other life-bits that might coincide with teaching 500+ little kiddos.Ms. Kristen-Crayonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315739080618666914noreply@blogger.comBlogger118125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665505138705422442.post-35814280691519081912018-01-25T17:15:00.000-08:002018-01-25T17:15:14.687-08:00Life looks a little different these days.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Browsing through old posts, and my, how life looks a bit different! In this exact, potentially fleeting moment, I'm considering getting back to blogging. In the meantime, thought I'd share this updated photo. Since my last posts I have: 1) gotten married, 2) popped out two babes, and 3) I'm in my SEVENTH year of teaching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The baby art teacher has grown up, and for the most part, that feels really GOOD.</div>

6. - 10. NYC is my favorite place in the world. N.'s birthday present to me was a day trip there. We saw the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2013/PUNK">Punk: From Chaos to Couture</a> show at The Met, walked the <a href="http://www.thehighline.org/">High Line</a> for the first time, ate at <a href="http://www.shakeshack.com/">Shake Shack</a> and <a href="http://www.halloberlinrestaurant.com/">Hallo Berlin</a>, and generally, loved life while we were there. In that last shot, I thought I looked very German in the German bier garden with my braids and beverage so, in other news... I looked more German than ever (I have German in me from both sides of my family).</div>

5. On April 20, 2013 I ran my first 10k (first ever <i>anything</i>), <a href="http://soleofthecity10k.com/">Sole of the City</a>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">After lots of ups and downs in my training (mostly surrounding being sick <i>all the time</i>), I wasn't sure if I was even going to go through with the 10k, especially because at the last minute my running partner backed out because of a work conflict. But I knew that if I didn't TRY, I'd regret it. I told myself that if I needed to walk parts of it, that would be okay. I told myself that it would be an adventure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">So on Saturday morning I woke at 6am and planned on taking the <a href="http://www.charmcitycirculator.com/">Charm City Circulator</a> down to the race area. Went to go wait for it around 7am and after a little research via iPhone found out that the CCC doesn't run 'til 9am on Saturdays (good job planning that one, Ms. Kristen-Crayon). Woke N. up to let me back in the apartment (no keys on me) and he *thankfully* offered to drive me to Locust Point, where the race would begin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">It was surprisingly cold on Saturday morning, in the high 40s. I was freezing, even in a hoodie. There was no bag drop-off, so everything you needed had to stay on your person. Check-in was a little chaotic - 3,300 runners had signed up! I had to pick up my shoe tag and bib, and people were passing out blue and gold ribbons to honor the Boston Marathon tragedy. Before the race I talked with a nice guy-- we were mutually confused about where the start line was. Eventually they announced the location and we made our way over. Opening remarks were made, had a moment of silence for Boston, National Anthem played, and we were off!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Had a rough start from being so stiff from the cold, and Anne Hathaway's version of "I Dreamed a Dream" came up second on my playlist (not all that motivating, haha). The light was beautiful over the Inner Harbor, and I got pretty sentimental about leaving Baltimore come June. This was the first time I had ever run outside and there were definitely challenges-- wind, puddles, cobblestones, hills (we ran through Federal <i>Hill</i>, after all!). There were highs and lows, mostly involving comparing myself to other runners, but overall I'm <b>SO PROUD</b> of myself for running my first race, alone, somewhat out of shape from being sick so often, and definitely intimidated. I wonder what other running goals are in store for 2013?</span></div>

5. - 6. Tuesday was a professional day. Super-impressed with the kindergarteners' paint jobs on these pinch pots. Super-amused by this first grade fish saying, "Work it, girl." I love my job. It's amazing what you find when going through piles and piles of grading. Too bad I worked so hard on the prof day while feeling sub-par... didn't make it into work on Wednesday or Thursday. Nasty head cold wiped me out.</div>

I enjoyed a sampler... one beer, two beer, three beer, Ms. Kristen-Crayon hits the floor... they were all delicious. Met up with one of N.'s good law school buddies and her boyfriend.

I had an incredible experience at <a href="http://www.garnishboutique.com/">Garnish Boutique</a> (highly recommended if you're in the MD area-- amazing staff, adorable shop). Went with just my mama, as usual. This was the fifth attempt at finding a dress, and thank goodness, the last. There were tears. Huge weight lifted off of our shoulders! Had to break it to N. that despite what we anticipated, I WILL NOT be wearing a burlap sack down the aisle :)</div>

1. - 2. We're getting closerrrr! Loved the selection at J. Crew (went to their Georgetown location), but didn't find "the one." My mom immediately vetoed the one in the first pic (so I immediately threw it up on Instagram), and the second would have probably been my dress if it had come in white. The search continues!<br />

3. Post-wedding dress shopping, we went out for a delicious lunch... which I had a severe allergic reaction to. Check out those eyes! Sexy, huh? I rode the metro with my sunglasses on so I didn't scare small children, while my mom watched me intently thinking that I was going to pass out.</div>

17. On Saturday, we went over to our friends' Amanda & Ryan's place. They're currently renting an amazing house in the Stone Hill area of Hampden, in Baltimore. The house was built in the 1840s and is packed with charming, original details, owned and maintained by a local artist. The stairwell that leads to their third floor was hand decoupaged in the above motif. I was obsessed.</div>

15. - 16. Finally finished <i>Game of Thrones </i>(which I mentioned eons ago in this <a href="http://mskristencrayoncan.blogspot.com/2012/07/summer-reading.html">post</a>)! Snapped a shot of my pretty doodled bookmark before chopping it up and scrapbooking it.<br />
<br />
I really do hang out with people, sometimes! We went out for N. and his sissy's birthday (their birthdays are two days apart), but I didn't manage to snap any photos. In fact, I usually don't take pictures during the most eventful moments in my week. I mostly tend to capture quiet moments that document my routine. Clearly not a photographer :)<br />

5. I am SO stingy with pencils. I hoard what we do have, because I don't want them to go any faster than they do. My dream is to have real drawing pencils in the art room. But until that day comes, we will stick with good 'ol #2s.<br />

9. Friday was a 2.5-hour early release! We barely had any school this week. With N.'s encouragement, I forced myself to go to the gym as soon as I got home, and the walk was rather unpleasant (my gym is about 5-6 blocks away). Very cold, wet snow to contend with. I rewarded myself with pizza and beer... and it tasted AMAZING (helps that I picked up delicious Brooklyn Winter Ale :). So maybe I undid my time at the gym...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
But N. joined me on Saturday! So much better to run with a buddy.</div>

13. My mom and I were beside ourselves to go dress shopping this time around (after two unsatisfactory excursions), and we had had this appointment on the calendar since November. But unfortunately, despite this shop being adorable and chic, and my assistant being sweet and cute and fun, the appointment was a... disappointment. We left more confused than enlightened about "the dress." Oh well. We're looking elsewhere in mid-February. Wish me luck!<br />

It was during that block of time when this happened:<br />
<br />
B. is out of his seat, doing a running-skipping jig across the room. He is supposed to be reading silently.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Ms. Kristen-Crayon:</strong> "B., you need to get back in your seat."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>B:</strong> "But I'm so excited!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Ms. K-C:</strong> "What are you so excited about?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>B:</strong> "You're here! You weren't here last week, but now you're here!"</span><br />
<br />
Two Fridays ago I was out sick, with the very awful, no-good flu. And B. was very happy I was back. So was I! I love love love little moments like that, especially with a class that is on the more challenging side. It's like, hey, someone did miss me, someone values my presence, and that someone is a student! Best thing ever.Ms. Kristen-Crayonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315739080618666914noreply@blogger.com4
