3 weeks down...

...6 weeks to go...yes I know that's a count down...everyone is counting down till the last day of school at my house...school is going well for me...I come home tired every night...but really that's no different than before I was teaching everyday...I do miss not being able to get up and run every morning...now I need to fit it in late in the evening...which makes me that much more EXHAUSTED...I miss not being able to scrapbook and make cards...and sew...and I miss not being able to be there for MY own kids when they need me...but this weekend I was able to get a couple of digital LOs done...and since I didn't have a lot of extra time...with Camryn's TWO soccer games...and both of the boys' baseball games...Jessica Sprague's digital templates were the way to go!!! It felt really good to make some pages...
...yes...that is Hope Solo...Camryn and I got to meet her a few weeks back...She was really nice to Camryn and chatted with her about playing soccer...Camryn loved getting the chance to meet her and I was really proud of Camryn for not being shy and opening up and talking to her! Thanks for taking a peek ;)

...the now...

...six years ago I gave up my teaching contract...it was a very sad day...I knew that one day I would return to the classroom...but for several years as each new school started I would be sad that I wasn't starting too...well today as our kiddos are returning to their classrooms from Spring Break...it will also be my first day back to teaching FULL TIME...I am excited!!! For the last few months I have been spending time with these first graders...they are so sweet...I look forward to finishing the school year with them.

...the BEST and WORST for this month:

Let's start with the BEST: the kids' sports are back in full swing...I love watching them play!
...and the WORST...Mason having to get 5 stitches!!!
