wow.....

All I can say you all is that I am so.dang.tired after this week! What a week! I have 23 precious little firsties. 15 girls and 8 boys. So yeah, you can imagine the D-R-A-M-A I have already been dealing with!!!! :) I have Sassy Sue who serenades me every day during lunch. I have Wild Woman Wilma who is driving me CRAZY! Will not follow directions if her life depended on it. Then I have Hyper Hallie who refuses to sit still! Then, when she gets in trouble, she shuts down because she knows I am going to call her mama. She sits in the floor and throws a fit!! Yikes!! This is going to be a long year!!

the time is now….

summer break

I saw this on a blog this morning and it is so dang true!  Where did the summer go?  I start teacher inservice bright and early in the morning!  I am really going to miss my daily naps!

No more snuggling with my sweet Sippi, leisurely checking out all the wonderful blogs and facebook while sipping on my coffee, lunch where I can eat as slow as I want, soap operas, naps, cooking dinner……memories!  Here are a few more scrapbook pages.  I don’t know how many of you do Creative memories, but their storybooks are on sale in september!  20% off!  I can’t wait to order mine and see it!!  I have been working so hard on this thing ever since our cruise.

1st day of school pic.jpeg

I love to take pictures of the kids on the first day of school.  I like to have a sign that they hold.  When I do my end of year DVD of all the pictures I take, I think it’s so cute to see the brand new firstie pictures!!!
