The Surprise

Naomi's birthday is coming up, so the girls and I made her a little present while she was at work on Friday. I told them that is was a surprise and they shouldn't tell Mommy about it. Here is how the conversation went as soon as Mommy walked in the door...

Twins: Mommy!!!
Amélie: "We did not make you a present!" Shaking her head.
Mommy: "You didn't make me a present?" Big smile.
Abigail: "Yeah we did make you a present." Guilty smile.
Mommy: "You DID make me a present?" Bigger smile.
Amélie:  "We did NOT make you a present!!"

Press repeat for a couple minutes, and you get the idea. Getting two year olds to keep a secret can be entertaining...

I got some good news this week as well. I sent out a few open applications to schools in the area. One got back to me quickly. I had an interview with them Thursday night, after hours. It seemed like a good match - I was what they were looking for and the school sounded really good to me.

Friday they contacted my references and told me they would arrange things so that they could offer me a job. They wanted to set a meeting for the next school day to work out the details. Seems like they really want me since they are pushing things so fast! Too bad the next school day happens to be two weeks from now...
