Ridiculous...

In the words of my sweet little 6 year old daughter when she saw this picture,"Oh, man!" (and with such expression that it made me laugh out loud). She truly is a girl after my own heart.  I think I'm going to have to try this soon, chocolate chip cookie/oreo/brownie bars (baked with hot fudge sauce).  BUT...the first day of fall is tomorrow.  I'm going to have to back some pumpkin bread this weekend.

First Day of School

 

 

Yes, I know, I'm 3 weeks late but I've been just a little bit busy.  Here's our first day of school pictures.  It was J-man's first day of 5th grade.  He loves being the big man on campus.  He was selected to participate in safety patrol for the first 9 weeks...big priveledge.  It was Z's first day of first grade.  She loves 1st grade and her teacher.  This past Tuesday, she started speech and the Lovely Girls Club which both led her to announce that Tuesdays are her absolute favorite day of the week (she has a really great speech teacher and Lovely Girls is awesome~check out the link). I'm also having a really good year so far too.  I'm now co-team leader of 3rd grade and teaching math.  I have a really great team of new teachers to our school.  My class is also proving to be very sweet and well behaved (drastic change from last year).  I'm hopeful and praying we all have a fantastic year.
