Having Fun in Lower Alabama

This past Sunday night I had nursery duty, so I snapped a couple of shots (not good ones) of Justus and his nursery buddies. Justus is the oldest. The other boys are all 15-16 months old.
We also squeezed in a family mall trip. The kids rode the carousel.








Everything is business as usual around here-busyness! We have many upcoming events at the church. Several ladies' and I are attending the Deep South Ladies' Conference this Friday and Saturday. I am looking forward to it. It is being held at our school's home church. There will be about 300 other women there. The theme is "Under Construction." In a couple of weeks I have another ladies' LIFT meeting. My theme this time is "Turn Up the Heat." The focus will be on not being a lukewarm christian. The decorations and food will all be chili peppers/Mexican. The other events coming up mostly have to do with the holidays--from Fall Festival to Thanksgiving Service and Meal to Christmas Pageant to Choir Cantata to New Year's Watchnight Service to Valentine's Banquet to February Missions Fundraiser to April Missions Trip. WOW!! What a list!!
School--I had one student slap another student today in my homeroom!! The thing is it wasn't a girl that slapped someone. A boy slapped another boy. Then we had a student have a seizure during chapel today. He is fine and doing well. He has had problems with seizures for sometime. Needless to say, it was an eventful day!!
Progress reports came out yesterday. Chloe did alright she had 4 A's and 3 B's. That is not her best. We found out that her B's (other than penmanship--she has terrible writing) are due to her not completing her homework. She also received one "Needs Improvement" check and the rest "Satisfactory" on her conduct/participation/attitude. She has lost her t.v. privileges until this improves. We have 3 weeks until report cards come out. Abigail did very well. She got all A's and all Excellents in her conduct/participation/attitude. The results from the progress reports are sort of ironic to us, because we have lots of problems from Abbie at home right now and hardly any from Chloe. :)
Enjoy your week!

STUDY????

How am I suppose to study? I can't keep this crazy cat off of my books. He plops himself down on my books everytime I sit down to read. Seriously....when I move, he moves. When I sit down to read, he lays down on the book.

Today was our first day of school at our new school, Lighthouse Baptist Academy.
The hairbows that I made for about $4.00. They sale these in the stores for $16.00.

Aaron took tons of pictures of him. This isn't even all of them. I just laugh everytime I see ALL of these.

The kids in front of their new school.



Abbie by her desk. She is in 1st grade this year.
Asher in his desk. He is in K-4.
Chloe in her desk. She is in 3rd grade this year.
We all had a great first day. The kids came home very excited! They really like their new school.
I had a good first day too. My students were very good. However, my classroom is VERY HOT!! I have lots of students in a little room. I have got to get a BIG FAN in there.

Best Friends

Abbie has a best friend, Savannah. Savannah lives in Indiana, but....Savannah's aunt and uncle live right here in Mobile. Savannah's aunt is our girls' piano teacher. Soooo Abbie and Savannah will still get to see each other every now and then. Savannah's family was here this past weekend. We invited her over to spend the night. Even though it had been 7 months since they had last seen each other, the two girls were back together and giggling like it had only been a few days. Abbie was so happy.

The BIG slumber party!







The hike to the beach from our beach house rental.


The kids did not like having to walk through the tall grass.

A late night card game. I have no clue what it was, but they had fun.
