| Wearing my qaspaq |
It’s almost May. Where has the time gone? Seriously, this
year has flown by! I cannot believe that I only have three more weeks of school
left!
This month has been wonderful. The weather has been warmer
and we’ve been able to enjoy lots of outside time in the sun with occasional
rain showers. But what’s spring without a little rain? April showers are
necessary I guess…especially if I am expecting to pick my fair share of berries
this fall.
We had a wonderful Easter celebration here in New Stuyahok.
One of my coworkers invited a bunch of us over for Easter lunch. It was
amazingly delicious! We stuffed ourselves full of food. Overflowing, even. The
sun was shining gloriously all day. I spent sometime reading in my “backyard”
wearing shorts and a tank top. Yes, shorts AND a tank top. Yes, I live in
Alaska and it was that warm out. Then, we enjoyed some time outside just
hanging out with our magnificent neighbors. I also made my first qaspaq thanks
to a TON of help from the amazing, Brielle! My first ever sewing project is
officially complete.

This past weekend I held my class sleepover. All year, my
kids have been working towards earning this sleepover and the many fun
activities that went with it. We had a great time playing in the gym, buying
food from the student store, tie-dying pillowcases (that my kids made
themselves), playing card games, board games, and computer games, watching
movies, eating popcorn and blueberry pancakes, drinking root beer floats, and
watching movies with a little sleeping in there too. We had a great time! It
was fun hanging out with my class outside of the normal school day setting and
it was a good way to help start wrapping up the year.
I tried to rest up a little the past two days. You know,
catch up on all my lost sleep and I got some, but definitely not enough. I’m
just hoping it gets me through the next three weeks :) This year has been a
really great year. I could not have done it without my awesome neighbors and
coworkers (who have even managed to feed me this weekend).
