Classroom Readiness

Isn't it funny how high school teachers, (ie. Clint) never understand what in the world we elementary teachers DO all the time at school getting ready for the first day? I kind of envy them putting up a poster or two and calling their room "ready." hehehe But I COULD NOT teach those boy crazed, girl watching, no homework bringing, smart-mouthed, I like you today, I'll hate you tomorrow, chemistry taking, Algebra taking, pain in the kiester high school kids. So I'll keep hanging my bulletin boards, putting up cute little borders around everything, writing names on every blooming thing they bring and then some, making sure we know how to stand in line, and how to play nicely with others anyday! School starts Monday, Meet the Teacher is Thursday.... my room isn't ready... YIKES! Does anyone have a magic wand I can borrow? :)

Overly Excited

What they say really is true. "They grow up SO FAST." I know it's cliche` but.... true. I can remember rocking her to sleep, singing You are My Sunshine, watching her "crab crawl", and her wearing those little purple high heels outside helping her Daddy work with nothing else on but a diaper. Oh man... sigh... I do look forward to what all she will experience and achieve coming up but I am such a sap I can't help but look back at the sweet times we've already had and miss them, too. It has been so much fun and God has blessed us so richly with a healthy, precious girl. We are excited about Sweetwater Christian School! We went to get school supplies this morning and she was so very overjoyed at all the choices! Here are some pics of our day.

Birthday Month!

It's almost Remington's 5th birthday! August 24th. The first day of school in SISD. Man that's crazy. we are having a Mermaid theme swim aprty this year. Yeah! for the swim party we are always so hot at her parties! I just became digital in January so I can't post any pics of her as a baby, and no we don't have a scanner. So.... I'll just wait and post some of her bday party. It should be lots of fun!
