The pictures are of the day Anna and I went to the zoo a while ago. It was a beautiful day before preschool!
Speaking of preschool...Anna loves her new preschool this year. It is amazing. Every day they make the neatest things or charts or a class book. Just like when the boys were at their preschool (the one Anna went to last year that had a new teacher). It is amazing. Her teacher has been there for 34 years, I think, and she is older, but the things that she does definately compares to kindergarten. One day they had to bring in a 1/2 of their favorite sandwich. Hard since Anna doesn't eat sandwiches. Usually she will roll bologna up around cheese, but on this day she did take a 1/2 of PBJ sandwich and ATE it. Amazing. She hardly ever chooses bread or buns, etc. The class then made a chart to see the types of sandwiches brought. Anna's class only has 7 students so far so they just add to the other class. All the kids in her class are girls. It seems like a very calm and quiet class, so I am sure that Anna adds some spunk!b They have done a lot of charting and little books. YES...we love it! I just wish there were more students
Busy week last week. I worked 3 days as a sub...one in Special Ed at the school Brandon just left and two in Music at the Intermediate School. No one ever gives the music dept enough credit. They work sooo hard. In a few of the classes I had there was oer 60 kids! Insane, but the teacher is sooo good that there isn't any behavior issues. The teacher said I could just show Sound of Music and other musicals for 2 days, but that isn't my style, so...I taught music and worked my butt off the first day. The second day the kids sang some and also did watch the video some. I had fun, but it was exhausting. The 6th graders said it was the best music class ever. Hard to believe because their teacher is just
House Update! OMG...we are waiting on the dry wall guy to finish the sunroom work. Then the carpet will go down. I guess we are going for a more family room type look in there now. It has served its purpose well as a sunroom/toyroom for many years, but I look forward to a new look now that the kids are growing up and we don't have very many toys around.
We are also going to get carpet in the living room, family room downstairs and the steps going upstairs and the steps going downstairs. NO bedrooms or den. We got it all picked out and also the entry ways and we are just awaiting the bid to see the total damage it will cost! Can't even imagine. Those are too bad, but the rest of the house and sunroom means about 1500 square feet of carpet. YIKES...I have been waiting for 8 LONG years for carpet, so this is exciting. Also means that I am going NUTS right now trying to figure it all out. The carpet lady has already called 5 times with questions today to make sure that we are all on the same page. With so many rooms to do, it is getting a little confusing! I will NEVER build a house. I am trying to remain calm about it all and start packing up the rooms at the same time. Luckily, the sunroom is already empty.
Barry has been a busy man lately with outside stuff and also some inside. I wanted to stain the deck, but he did...thanks! I will do the second coat, but it is raining today. We have been landscaping in the back in 2 areas and had to fix some of the boo boo's made by the new driveway. I am not good at the outdoor type things and have trouble picking out landscaping plants, etc. Barry also dug a hole in the crawl space yesterday for the back up sump pump to be put in. So, we are waiting on that. Could we take on MORE projects? With the adoption and raising 3 kids, we have put off things around here for way too long. Now, everything is needing done all at once!
The joys of owning a home!
Ok...enough rambling.
