New Job!

Well after a lot of thought and prayer I have made the HARD decision to go back to teaching full time. I was very fortunate to be able to find a job this early in the summer! I will be teaching 1st grade (my favorite grade!!!) at Austin Elementary for Coppell ISD. It is so close to church so that's fun! I will be close to Lynlee while she continues to go to Butterfly School. Daycare plans are still in the works for Kyndall. I will ask for prayers as our family make this adjustment this fall.

Bad Water Babies!

Lynlee had her very first program a couple of weeks ago. The theme was "God's Mighty Jungle". Lynlee's class sang "Eensy Weensy Spider". They wore spider "hats". Her teachers cracked me up and made a big deal about "what was Lynlee going to do with a hat and no bow"! I assured them that Lynlee could go a couple of hours with no bow. But they insisted it just wouldn't be her so they made little bows for all the girls and clipped it on the end of the spider leg. So cute! They also just left her normal bow on under her "hat".

I don't know if you can see the tiny bow but it's on the front left leg.

Lynlee completely overwhelmed!

This is what Kyndall thought about the whole thing!

I don't know if you can really tell in the pictures. But Lynlee's face was completely red and swollen at her program. The day before I put Waterbabies sunscreen on her before school to protect her sweet skin at recess. When I picked her up she looked pretty red like she had a sunburn. Well the next morning she was really swollen also. I thought it was just from the sunburn. So I put more sunscreen on and took her to school with some tylenol. Well I picked her up and they said she acted fine all day but her eye kept running. She looked worse to me so I took her straight to the doctor. Turns out she had an allergic reaction to Waterbabies sunscreen and he told me to give her Benadryl. (I love paying a doctor to tell me what I was going to do anyway!) She was acting fine so we still took her to the program and she had a great time. The crazy thing is we used Waterbabies all summer last year and nothing. So it's time to shop around for new sunscreen!

The Letter R and Little Gym

My sweet friend Kelly got married back in October. One of their wedding favors were these "R" suckers. So cute! Well after the wedding there were some leftover and one night when we were enjoying supper at her house she was handing them out so I thought, that would be perfect for R week at school! So she generously gave me enough for my class.

Well we finally had R week. Here are my sweet kiddos enjoying there R suckers! Thanks Kelly!

Last night Little Gym had their Spring Fling. It's a free open house where the kids can play, eat snacks, win door prizes, etc. We had not been to one of these yet so we decided to venture out last night. We had a good time! Lynlee had a blast!

Doing all our tricks with Daddy!

Making a new friend!

More playing.

Just having fun!

First Day of School

Today was our first day of school. Unfortunately I didn't get to take Lynlee to her class because I had to be with mine, but Jason took her and just dropped her off and left. He didn't wait around to see if she was going to get upset or not. She had a really good day. She didn't take a nap and then refused when we got home so I am hoping for a early bed time and we will see how tomorrow goes!
