Haley and Dayna glue chocolate chips onto my "cookies", they were such big helpers. I think Haley snuck one chip to eat, but Dayna resisted and didn't eat any!
Jenna, Eva(on floor in front) and Ellie took all the books off my bookshelf and alphabetized them by the authors last name, it was quite the job!
Today was a school workday. Meaning that "all" 5th-8th grade parents were to show up and get the school ready for the new year. We all went. While Jeff worked around the building, I worked in my class. There were several students from my 4th grade class last year there ,with their parents, so I put them to work for me! Eva, Ellie, and Kia put up a couple bulletin boards for me, put name tags on my desks, and organized my library. Kia had to leave before the above picture was taken, sorry Kia! I even put the little ones to work. Haley and Dayna, who will be in Pre-K together, had a job of gluing chocolate chips onto "cookies". There are a part of my bulletin board that says, "A New Batch of 4th Graders!" I will post that bulletin board when it is done, I need to take the students pictures on the first day of school and put them in the middle of the cookies, it is really cute. I am feeling pretty good about my room. I am going to go one more time either Monday and Tuesday to work a couple more hours before in service starts on Wednesday.
Jeff and I went out for our anniversary (by ourselves this time :) ) tonight. We had our trusted babysitter, Vanessa, over to watch the girls. It is so nice to have a babysitter that the girls just love and when we come home, they tell us to leave again! We went to the movie Hot Rod. THE DUMBEST MOVIE EVER MADE! Jeff really likes comedies, I like more suspense and drama, but I let him choose this time. Even he deemed it the worst movie ever. We then went to Olive Garden and had a yummy meal. On the way home we decided to drive around and look at all the new sub-divisions being built etc. With Jeff being a realtor, he can get into any house with a lock-box. We went into several, they are gorgeous. I found a house I absolutely love! (didn't know I was looking!) The backyard is wooded and 5 deer were in the clearing. Jeff didn't really like it because the backyard was sloped, which is true. There were some other lots that would be gorgeous to build on. We have always batted around the idea of building. (This is probably news to my family!) We sometimes wonder if we are "too far out" of the loop, with not much of a neighborhood and no friends for the girls to play with. I guess that is how I grew up, and I turned out "ok." Anyway...we'll see what happens.
