fall break 2013

We had a nice Fall Break at home.  Our school started a balanced calendar this year, which means that I got a whole two weeks off during that time.  However, I chose to work Intersession, which helps kiddos who are behind in reading and/or math for the first week for half days.  Mom, Amie, and Lisa all helped me watch E-Bear, which was a huge help.  We still squeezed in some time for fun before our BFF's left for Disney World :)

 

Happy Birthday, Chris!

disney on ice

For the girls' birthdays, Ellie and I got us all tickets to go see Disney on Ice at the Yum Center.  The dads went for drinks downtown and dropped us off while we watched the show.  The girls were all mesmerized (except for this little one who fell asleep after the intermission).  They all did so well.  I am thinking maybe a yearly tradition?

parade time!

Ellie got to help her Daddy judge the ClarkFest parade down Eastern Blvd. today and had a blast.  She loved waving to all of the people, cars, floats, bands, and horsies as they went by! Of course I didn't get any pictures of her in action; I did snap this one after it was all said and done and she was tuckered out :)  What a great Labor Day event!

real piggies

Ellie's hair can now go up into real piggies, just not halfway up.  I don't know whether to celebrate or cry!

It is super cute though.

twins?

Nah, just Ellie and Aunt Caitie at one year. 

 



is ketchup a vegetable?

I hope so, because Ellie eats a ton of it :)

Ugh. 

back to school

This mom survived her first week back at school, all while missing her baby girl so much.  So very blessed and thankful for amazing family members to watch her while I fulfill my dream of being a teacher.  I have to share this funny moment before I forget it forever.  On the first day of school, we always wear a Wilson polo shirt so that we can be identified by parents, students, etc.  I was in a rush to get to school to finish a few last minute things (and to get out of the house without waking E) and as I was walking up the steps to my classroom, this is what I notice:

Yep, first day of school with two different shoes :)  Hope this isn't an indicator of what my year is going to be like :)
