Super Husband on TV, and Lions in the Classroom

It's been  two weeks since we started our new... lives.
Now our schedules are more or less stable, and we've adjusted once more to living apart during the week. Adjusted, but maybe not accepted.
Super Husband has, in addition to being swamped by homework, picked up a few extracurricular activities to help him with his Chinese. He is now a voluntee r English teacher/tutor at a public school on Thursday evenings, as well as the cohost of the English music section of the university's TV channel, and the English editor for the whole broadcast.
Although all of these activities mean that he has less time to hang out with his lovely Wonder Wife, I am extremely proud of him. It's not every day someone becomes a TV host, even if it is a university channel. And I think he hopes that being around little Chinese speaking tots will help him with his Chinese, while he helps them with their English.

I am set to take over the Red Lions (all of the classes are a color of lion, red, pink, blue, grey, and even maroon lions) this week. They're a class of 3-4 year olds whose English is pretty good. I've spent some of this morning, and most of the lunch break today organizing my classroom, getting it sorted out and made pretty. I'm having some huge difficulties with the door, for some reason. Nothing will stay put. I think it's just old, not sticky tape, but I'm getting really aggravated.
Because Easter is coming up we're going to spend some of this week coloring, painting, and generally creating decorations for the windows, doors, and even ourselves.
I have some really cute ideas for paper plate bunny masks.
We're also having an Easter celebration on Friday that should be a lot of fun. Face painting, egg hunts, egg dyeing, egg-and-spoon races, all kinds of family fun. The parents will be invited out, and we're going to make a whole Fair Day out of it.

Last week the team I'm on for Pub Quiz won first place. It's my first pub first, and I hung my ribbon with pride over the collection of third places I've acquired over the months. I really enjoy going every week, and I've decided that we'll have to get a team together and find a place once I get back to Houston.

Now my break is over and it's time to cavort with some Red Lions.
