Car Wash

One of the last days of summer here and decided to have the kids help daddy (bc I have to take pictures and supervise of course) wash the cars. It was a good time! Tate gave up as soon as he got wet, but Gracie and Benny embraced the whole water fight thing.

Ready to go! Soap-check! Scrubber- Check! Sandwich-check!


So glad whale could join us














So long, summer!

Movie Night

Starting some traditions with a Family Movie Night. So far, we've discovered that all Disney movies are a lot scarier than we remembered. Here are some cute pictures of the kids excited to make popcorn anyway.




It's coming out!

Making sure daddy adds enough butter for mommyus.

Ready to be traumatized by the hyenas in The Lion King! Hooray!

In a few words

Still playing catch up with life. Transitioning from 2 jobs to one, the house is a mess and I feel a lot like this:

(I set up a photo booth for class birthday pictures)

So here is an update on everyone in a few words.

Grace: "Mama you don't ever say that again! You go to time out!" aka sass as usual
Tate: "My doggy is sleeping. My doggy's birthday is today. Maybe we should get a kitty a doggy and 3 horses!"
(his imaginary doggy friend is still with us)
Benny: "Don't want to! My do it! YEEEEEEEEAH"
Daddy: Working mandatory overtime for the next 3 weeks.

I think that summarizes things nicely.

Back to School!

Ahh the smell of freshly sharpened pencils and laminators!

I got hired back at my old elementary school to teach 2nd grade this year! I am beyond excited and that is why I have been MIA this week. I have 7 days to get my classroom ready while still working my other job. Yes, I am exhausted.

Pictures of my new classroom to come!
