was lost but now i'm found :)

i can't believe how long it's been since my last post...the first day of summer vacation 3 months ago!! wow! i definitely enjoyed summer! it was one of the best ones in a long time. the end of summer meant a new school year began. this new school year brought with many challenges--10 extra students, the dilemma of fitting 10 extra desks in my small classroom, long work hours, and stress that wasn't there in summer. but i have a wonderful class and a great group of parents too. this has made all the challenges much easier to deal with. i'm looking forward to a terrific year!

first day of summer!!!

woohoo! the day i've been waiting for has finally come. :) i plan to enjoy each day, do what i want, go where i want...just be. this summer will be filled with swim practice and meets since both kids our now on the swim team. hanging out by the pool, staying cool, and relaxing is going to be wonderful after a long and challenging school year. summer, here i come!

pre-school graduate

today was connor's last day of pre-school. it was celebrated by having a picnic at the park with his classmates and their families. the crazy wind didn't put a damper on the fun and activities. it was cute to see connor with his friends. i can't believe how fast he's growing up!

tulips

i love tulips! any color will do. they remind me of spring every time i see them. they make me happy just looking at them.

happy easter!

the easter bunny hid the eggs inside the house this year. kaleigh and connor found all the eggs, looked over their loot, and ate some candy in record time. ha! we had a laid-back easter this year, which was really nice. we took the kids out to lunch and then to see "diary of a wimpy kid". we read books, watched a little tv, played games, had breakfast for dinner, and ate a little bit of easter candy in the evening. so relaxing!

the easter bunny left connor a big boy scooter, which he rode through the house all day and night.

it's not easter without a chocolate bunny!

sigh...

i love spring break! it's only been 2 days but it's been fantastic so far. i make it sound like i took some terrific trip to a far away place but no, i've just been home. :) my break started with kaleigh having a friend over to spend the night (yikes! a couple of hours into spring break; it made kaleigh happy so it was fine), i've read 4 books on my nook, stayed up late, slept in, picked connor up from pre-school (don't get to do that since i'm usually working), and scrapped a little. what a life!

spring break is coming!!

only 2 more days until the official start of spring break 2010! i am soooo ready for it. i'm ready for some time to relax, organize, read, scrap, and sleep. as with every spring break, i always have big plans of things for me to do at home which never get done...but this time, maybe i'll get through half my list. ha! anyways...woohoo to spring break!!!
