At the end of a long day this is my view before his Daddy walks in the door. Books on the floor, kid on the floor, diapers to be put away, kid playing with Daddy's shoes.

The one where I miss teaching.

I miss it.

I walk through the grocery store and see glue sticks and remember they last about 30 seconds with a class full of my hispanic kids.

I can't seem to get my mind around not having Art in the public schools here. Hispanic kids are no where to be found. I left it all back in TX and it makes me frustrated.

Right now I get to teach my little boy one on one. Most of the time it's fun - some of the time it's not. It's always rewarding.

I get to teach T at Camp Rock one day a week and mostly that's fun. People tell me T is changing, growing up, acting better. So if that's all my teaching I get to do right now I guess I have to be content with that.

The one where we love Olive Garden.

K loved it first. Olive Garden was his favorite so we went there a lot in Dallas. He is the one that said it's ok just to get salad and breadsticks. Yum. There was one close to my school and it was never really crowded. I always went to Macaroni Grill growing up, but there never seems to be one close. We went for K's birthday a few weeks ago, and went Sunday after our amazing worship service. Yum.

You could win a $100 gift card to Olive Garden by going here.

The one with a Love Collage.

The one about the mess maker.

I had apples/cherries baby food in my purse. I put my purse in the backseat where I guess he could reach. A got the food out and made a big mess with it.

Cutie.

The one from A.

My daddy gave me a haircut Saturday. I think it's pretty handsome.

My mom saved all of my hair. Sigh.

before my haircut outside

after my haircut tired and drinking yummy milk

Playing before my haircut - I put all of my toys in my dump truck.

The one where we get dark clouds and people start running for cover.

I taught elementary art in a portable outside of the main building for 4 years in Dallas. During those 4 years we've had our share of storms and snow. We could hear the wind blow from inside. We could hear the rain hit the windows like it was raining sideways. We heard lightning like it hit very close and loud thunder. We had to step over or into big puddles of water, We had so much snow in the parking lot it was hard to drive out it was so slippery, but never did we get out of school for 'impending' bad weather. We kept our emergency kit close and our cell phones and flash lights closer, but Really?

Ok so they did cancel classes for ice. But that was ice.

But impending weather? You're not even guaranteed it will come.

Come on.

The one where he's still asleep.

Little Man woke up this morning at 4:30 a.m.

Changed his diaper....Dad got him milk...he drank the whole thing.

It's 8:27a.m. and he is still quiet in his room.

Mother's Morning Out starts in 3 minutes.

Who cares...let the boy sleep.

The one where he is playing by himself.

This moment brought to you by lots of prayer.

Little Man loves his room, his new house, and we do, too.
