Waiting 4 the bus

This is Nene on her first day of school waiting for the bus that never came:



John took her to school but she was so disappointed.

First Day of School

We made through the first day of Pre K and 6th grade. A few fumbles along the way but all in all it went well. For whatever reason the bus company never called us about Stef's route so she didn't get to ride the bus, then the school tired to put her on the bus to come home but luckly John was there to intercept, Donnovan got off at the wrong drop off and had to walk in the heat (he said he wasn't sure if the bus driver was going to stop). Ben enjoyed a quiet morning to himself watching movies and not having to share the couch or anything.

I am still taller

A few weeks ago I needed to take Donnovan in to get his back to school shots, yes he had to get 3. There was a new requirement that all 6th graders have a 2 shot of the chicken pox, anyhow he was weighted and measured. He is 5'2. So I am copying a picture from my friend's blog and here it is:



I am still taller, but for how long?

Ben

The kids love playing outside on the trampoline with the sprinkler. I love it too since in this TX heat they can play outside for a long time, yes my water bill may be a little high but it is worth it. Well when it is time to come in I can bring them in one at a time and shower them and then so on to the next one, well Ben wanted nothing to do with the waiting so I wrapped him in a towel and put him in the sink, he couldn't get out but I got some great pictures!!!

Picture show

Here are a few pictures from camp and what Flat Stanley and I have been up to!

Update

I survived another year of camp! This year we had a nice wind storm. I've never heard the wind sound like a freight train before, but am now a believer! We had a good group of girls up there and just enjoyed our time.
I have about a week left of my first masters class- yay! I've enjoyed going back to school so far. I received the books for my next two classes so I guess I'm really in this.
We go back to school this week (teachers at least). I'm "excited" to start a new year because I'll be working with the K-3 grades. It'll be nice to not have to spread myself all over so much. I have some new ideas for decorating my room and am anxious to get going.
I'll post pictures of camp later.
Hope everyone is doing well. Good luck to all my nieces and nephews in school! Donnovan- a middle schooler?!?!?! Yikes :)

Big Red Glasses

The kids and I were going through tubs of memories this week while John was gone. I came upon some glasses that I had to wear while I was in HS. I put them on and didn't say anything to the kids, as soon as they saw me they were laughing so hard. They all wanted to try them on, then I got a laugh. Enjoy!!!
