Angry Birds

Isaac and Isabella thought they they should both wear their Angry Birds shirts to school on the same day a couple of weeks ago.  These are their Angry Bird faces to match their shirts!

Finding Out Our Teacher

Isaac and Isabella had to wait until a few days before school started to see who was going to be their teachers.  Isaac was the most anxious and excited to find out!

The expression on Isaac's face is priceless as he reads the letter from the school that tells him who is first grade teacher was going to be! 

Isabella jumping for joy when she finds out Mrs. Boerner is going to be her Kindergarten teacher.

First Day of School

As you might have noticed school has started and my posting has came to a stop!  Isabella was SO excited for her first day of kindergarten.  Isaac was excited because Isabella's classroom is next to his, and she got Mrs. Boerner for kindergarten, too!  We were so blessed to have Mrs. Boerner again.  Isaac was ecstatic to get Mrs. Conwell for first grade.  Mrs. Conwell is just who asking was hoping for!  I think he is even more excited that Mrs. Conwell is Catholic and goes to our church.:)

My 21st year of teaching has started off smoothly.  I have a very nice group of students that are going to make the year very enjoyable!

Bus Safety Contest

Isaac is still waiting patiently to see how he did the State Bus Safety Poster Contest. Entry forms were due in May. He loves to draw, but only in miniature version. He is not BIG on drawing BIG items. I love all the details he puts into his drawings three of the red buildings with flat roofs are schools. The other is a red house.

Teacher Gifts

I love Pinterest! There are SO many ideas at the tip of your fingers, but it can also be a time consumer too, if you let it. One easy and affordable idea I found was teacher gifts, for Isaac and Isabella's teachers. It was basically just a picture frame, tag board, glue, and a box of crayons. I think they turned out marvelous! See what you think.

Last Day of School

The last day of school was SEVERAL weeks ago, but I am trying to make up for lost time. Isabella was SO excited for summer to begin. Isaac on the other hand was very sad and teary eyed anytime that the last day of school was mentioned. He really had a an awesome kindergarten year, and he didn't want it to end.

There is always someone that doesn't want to cooperate for pictures.

Love this picture!

This does mean know that I officially have 2 school aged children!  Wow where did these first 6 years go? 

Summer Projects

Trying to get the stain off.

 

The Stain is almost off, except around the door handle.

  

Partial Done

One of my summer projects was to refinish my front door.  This seemed to literally take ALL summer.  I did great getting the stain off, but then July hit.  With all the 100 degree days I was not going to chance staining it in those conditions, plus who wants to have their door off when it is 100 degrees outside.  Finally the last weekend before school it cooled down enough for me to get the job done.  I still need to repaint the white trim around the door, but that it why they call it "Labor" Day.

In the background you can see my beautiful looking door. 
(It doesn't look like I am too excited for the first day of school.)

First Day Of School

First Day of School 2011

This past Monday my little boy (Who is not so little anymore.) had his first day of kindergarten.  Isaac of course was very excited, but a little nervous because he didn't know what to expect.  However, he has had a great week and LOVES kindergarten.  Isabella asked him if he loved it better than preschool.  Isaac said yes very quickly, then back tracked.  He made it known that he still LOVES Miss Kathy, his preschool teacher, even though he loves going to kindergarten.

Isabella was also back to preschool this past Monday, too.  For her it was like the summer never happened.  She still has the same teacher and most of the same classmates.  She is no longer at West with me, since the new remodel of Central Elementary.  She and Isaac are both at Central for the next three years together. 

First day of Pre-K.

 Let's go!

Isabella loved the sensory table with oatmeal in it at school.

Isaac is the one that cried this morning.  He wasn't going to have Isabella to play with.  Isaac starts school on Monday.

Isaac's Last Day of Preschool

Isaac's last day of preschool was on Tuesday.

He did let me get a picture before my camera battery died.

First Day of Preschool

Yes, it is hard to believe, but our little Isaac headed out for his first day of preschool today. He was SO excited he woke up at 6 o'clock. The only tears today were Isabella's. She of course cried because she didn't get to go to preschool, too. Isaac was so excited he didn't really care that I was walking out the door at The Gingerbread House. He did at least yell bye mom. Isabella pouted all the way to Hope's house about how it wasn't fair that she couldn't stay, too.

going to get to stay with him at preschool.
Isaac is SO excited about his first day!
