Our week...

This week was Red Ribbon Week at our school.  So, we used our school
spirit to say NO to drugs:)
Monday was College colors day!
 Tuesday was RED day.
 Wednesday was Sweats day - no pic:(
and Thursday was PJ DAY -- my FAVORITE!
 random: On Thursday night we also made cupcakes, we are getting
sooo excited about HALLOWEEN!!
 Friday was Lake Pointe colors day!
It was also the annual MOMS AND MUFFINS day.  So, Joshua and I got to enjoy some early morning time together:)  And the muffins this year were VERY good!

 
That's it! 
Only 3 more weeks till THANKSGIVING BREAK, which means a WHOLE week off for us!

Masterpieces!

I LOVE my kids work.  I save a lot of it, just because I cannot part with it.  I love their little hands and their handwriting. 
It just melts this momma's heart!
 
 
Keegan has been bringing home TONS of artwork from Pre School.  He has an alphabet book where he turns every letter into something cute...I'm loving it already and we've only just begun:))
 


 
SOOOO proud!!
 



 
And Joshua brings home some pretty AWESOME work too.  His writing is getting so good and I just love seeing his thought process.  This little story is about catching a frog in a bucket in the backyard one day.  Who would've known....it would have been something to write about?!?!
 


 
And look at all the 100's on his spelling tests!!  Now, I have to be honest.  At first I was convinced that he must be cheating.  I contemplated over talking with his teacher...just to keep a watchful eye.  But then I started testing him at home after the test...and he got 100's!!!!  I'm sorry I was doubtful, or surprised, but I am SO SO SO proud!!!  Second Grade has been really good for our boy!

School Days

A few weeks ago I got to stay home later than normal and see the kiddos get off to school.  The mornings have kind of been a rat race lately, getting clothes ready, lunches, etc...but oh, how they still love to go out and go off to school.
 
Keegan just LOVES going to his big school!  On T/Th, Ms. Ashley swings by to pick him up:))
Joshua likes school too...he is just getting a little "too cool" for my pics:)
 Ms. Ashley and K - off to Grace Place!
 The Crew - Aidan, Finn, Josh,
Mya, Hannah, and Keegen.
{I LOVE our neighborhood!!}
 

 
 Such wonderful "school day" memories:)

rAnDoM:)

So...I seem to have really gotten caught up in life and I have soooo many pictures that I have never gotten to.  {I have a whole blog that will come one day soon about our Easter:) That's how behind I feel.} 
So, here are some highlights that will take us back into the summer. 
Kind of a phone/camera dump, if you will:)
 
 
Here is my sweet K - he recently learned to ride his bike with NO training wheels...HE IS 3! 
And SUPER fast.
 
Joshua and his 2nd grade teacher {Mrs. Smith} on the 2nd day of school:)  I'm kind of struggling with being the mommy I want to be and also, a teacher this year.
 
 We have a new niece in our family.  Sweet baby Nora was born on Meet the Teacher night:) 
SO PRECIOUS!
