A day in the life
My children’s lit class is probably the most unexpectedly fun class I’ve had. When I first got the syllabus I thought for sure I’d drown in all the readings, even if they weren’t specifically hard (and they aren’t hard books). My final project is a diversity project, where we are to chose children’s books to [...]
“That was sweet!”
We took the boys to the circus on Saturday. I remember going a couple of times as a kid and I loved it. It was the first time the boys had ever been and they didn’t really know what to expect. While on our way out, we asked the boys what they thought. The first [...]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
Halloween marks the start of our busy season around here. After Halloween, we prepare for Thanksgiving and Brian’s birthday. Fortunately, this year they aren’t the same day! 15 days later is Alex’s birthday. His Godfather will be in town that weekend to celebrate his birthday and Christmas with the boys, which means that sometime before [...]
First Day of School – A Wordless Wednesday post
Ryan and Zach’s first day of school. Not too many pics since they start second grade. However, Alex starts kindergarten tomorrow and you can bet there will be lots of pics for that! Sphere: Related Content
The countdown begins
As of today, it is T-24 days until my first day of classes. I am both incredibly excited and incredibly nervous. I don’t think I’ve been this nervous before. Or at least not in a long time. And I can’t really say it’s a bad kind of nervous. More of an excited nervous. Does that [...]
Finally!
Other than my post in CT last Sat, I haven’t had time to post anything! We’ve been super busy since we got back Sunday afternoon. Sunday evening the boys and I went off to the kick-off party for the Steve Tasker March of Dimes Golf Tournament. Monday was the tournament. It was a long day, [...]
Happy Birthday, America!
Today is a great day (although, admittedly, I’m really tired. I haven’t been sleeping well at all.) It’s a beautiful day and I’ve shooed the kids outside to play. We will be joining some church friends for a barbecue and fireworks later this evening. I am excited to see what Rochester has to offer for [...]
Green inspiration and piggy busses
I often get inspiration from my kids. Sometimes I’m inspired to take pictures. Sometimes I’m inspired to do a scrapbook layout (which I haven’t done in forever, btw!). This weekend, however, I was inspired to do something completely different. It’s the time of year where I purge winter clothes, and sometimes summer clothes, that are [...]
It’s that “school” thang….
Lots of school stuff going on today…well, this week, actually. Tuesday we had a parent/teacher conference with Ryan’s teacher and had an impromptu meeting with the speech teacher as well. Today, Alex had his kindergarten physical and 4 immunizations. What a trooper that kid is, I tell ya. He didn’t really cry for the first [...]
Happy cows come from California
What you can’t see is that behind the cows, on the wall to the left, is a big California postcard. I couldn’t resist taking that picture! I haven’t graced my blog with pictures lately. In fact, I haven’t graced my blog with much of anything lately. Now that I’m finally starting to feel better I [...]
