Quick update.

I.have.no.brain!

Started school only 3 weeks ago and feel like we have been doing this forever! Not sure if that is a good or bad thing, but it is definitely hard to believe that we have only been in school for that short of time.
Last week, I observed a secondary school which was nice, but gosh the kids are soo smart. And then I started observing a primary school today and I loved it! I was with 6 year olds yesterday and it was so fun and I just felt at home with it all. I am so glad I had the observation period in both as I saw alot and always wondered if I wanted to teach Geography/History and now I have my answer. Primary is where I want to be and where I have the most fun. (and the half day on Wednesday is nice too)
I feel like I have no brain though and I don't have any real assignments due yet. I don't have time for studying and at the end of the day and the little time I have that is really not what I want to be doing. Last Wednesday I completely forgot that Charlotte didn't have school and went to pick her up there only to be reminded by silence that she was somewhere else, doh! Hopefully that doesn't happen again, man. And then I have this ability to not be able to say no to people. So I have started teaching small children english with games, etc.. and then I have older children's parents calling for lessons as well. It is fun and I can do the same subjects more or less, but I have now added more to my plate. I must say I like it though..And because I like all this so much and have my head spinning in every which way, I now must go to bed as my new bedtime is 9:30. Zzzzzz....

Hi Mommy. First time with face paint everywhere.

C as a princess. She loved all the live shows and musicals.

In the moment of watching a show. Disregard the man at the end, don't know him.

New train set which is tons of fun!

So, September is here and all of us have started school again. E goes to daycare all day, C is at school all day, and now mommy is at school all day. I have started my PGCE studies here in Geneva at the International School. It is a partnership with Durham University in the UK so all of my classes are in english and this is counting towards Masters credits. Hopefully at the end of these 9 months I will be able to find a job teaching in one of the many international schools that we have here. So, Monday through Friday all the Gamez girls are busy and at school. Wish me luck!
Also, I have started an English playgroup here out of the house on Saturday mornings. 1-3 yr olds from 9-10 and 3-5 yr olds from 10:30-11:30. I am hoping that these two projects coincide with my studies and everything runs smoothly. Today was my first day and there were some surprises. Timing, activities, and the idea of having my own children present with some of their best friends. Mommy is no longer mommy but teacher mommy and the kids can't go directly to Charlotte's room to play but have to listen to me speak a language that they are unfamiliar with. Fingers crossed this turns out well as I would hate to be known around our little community as the woman that "tried" to play in English. Here is alink to my website www.littletotsenglish.com
So all  in all, we are headed for a very busy year. One that I hope flies by!! Wish me (us) luck!!
