Catchin' Up

Busy, busy, busy. That pretty much sums up the last couple of weeks here. Nothing that grand has occurred, but I have found myself working at lot at night on things that I don't get done at school, which means no blogging. Let's catch-up.

I turned the big 3-0. Woohoo.  Friends decorated my classroom door and my students were very sweet with birthday wishes. It also felt good to come home with three cuties on the steps shouting, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Other than that, it was like any other day. I didn't have an emotional breakdown by the fact that I was leaving my twenties behind or anything. :)

We went to the fair in Madison last week. The kids had a really good time. We used every ticket although we feared that we had bought too many. They rode everything that they possibly could, and, of course, they had to get some "fluffy." That is what they call cotton candy.

School is going great for the kids. They are happy to go, which makes us happy. I am so thankful that things worked out the way that they did. Choosing to send them to FUMC was a last minute decision, but it was definitely the right choice...for all of us. Three half-days seems to be the perfect fit. The kids are exhausted by the week's end, and I know that they would have not been ready for five full days. The small environment and loving teachers have also been a blessing.

See, nothing too exciting! Here are a few things that have made me smile:

After gymnastics one day, I came home to tell Cameron that there was one boy in the class. He seemed excited and interested. I asked, "Cameron, do you want to go to gymnastics?" He gave me a sideways look, and said, "No. Maybe dat boy can go huntin." He was as serious as he could be...like that boy REALLY needed to try something different. Cameron is a true country boy!

No story with Faith, but do you know what she calls one particular kind of spiders when she sees them? "Long leg daddys."  HAHAHAHA! It's so cute!!!

Mallory, is really enjoying school. She likes to show me her school calendar and say, "Pete da Cat is comin to my stool momma!" The kids love Pete the Cat. Mallory was super pumped about his visit to the school. I am so happy that we made the decision to put her in school, as well.

BUSY weekend ahead. Will post at some point! :)
