Ok so I am so excited about Fall Break. I have not had this many days off in a row in over 4 years, since I was a stay at home mom. So I am elated to say the least...... I love my new job even more at this point. I really do love it. It is going really good. Darlene my assistant is a huge help!! I am so proud of my teachers they work so hard in their classrooms. I love how they take care of getting a sub for themselves if they have to be out. They are so creative in the classroom.
Today and yesterday the Fire Department visited us for Fire Safety month. Most of the kids enjoyed it but of
course several were very scared of them. The firemen decided to make me the
Ginni pig and put me in the outfit from the boots, to the oxygen tank and the mask. OK well I am very
claustrophobic. I was seriously about to panic in the suite but I did it. Oh man am I glad I am not a fireman. Yuk it was an awful feeling. The whole thing almost weight as much as I do. I hated it but the kids were not scared of me so it accomplished what they were trying to do.
Of course my teachers were taking pictures of me looking so lovely as a firemen. So sorry I don't have one to post.

My Madie taking mommy for a little ride. She is so precious!!
This was about an hour into the park and I totally got sick on this ride and was sick the rest of the day but I kept going and going.....
This was my sweet husband painting my nails. I asked and he did it. We had way to much time on our hands and now I have way to much paint on my hands. 
Karly receiving an award for Honor Roll and Perfect Attendance.
Madie received three awards: Honor Roll, Perfect Attendance and the one we were most proud of she was picked as The Timber Wolf for all of the Third Grade. Timber Wolf is a character trait that they are working on for that six weeks. She got most responsible, our Madie most responsible. WOW!!
This is Karly's science project an edible animal cell, yum! She is turning it in Friday, so we do not know what her grade is yet.
Madie and Karly on their first day of school August 11th 2008.
This was Karly's reading project and book report on "Spring Break". It was so good. The girl could not go on the Washington trip because she broke her leg. So Karly printed off pictures of Washington and hung them from the ceiling over the girl, like she was dreaming of being there. It was so cute. She got an "A" on her project. Way to go Karly!
