I PASSED!

I found out this morning that I passed both of my tests. I had a feeling that I had but you just never know with those things. It was definitely a relief to find out. A lot of districts won't hire you until you have passed so it is a good thing to not have to worry about it anymore. I also found out yesterday that I got an A on my Teacher Work Sample that I turned in a few weeks back so that was good news as well.

I was able to go eat lunch with Brecca at school today. That was fun. They had Chicken and Noodles, which was always my favorite thing when I was in school. They weren't too bad today either. I picked a good day to go. Brecca was excited I was there although she did have the choice of her and I sitting together in a special booth or sitting with the rest of her class. Guess what she picked????? Sitting with her friends, of course. I wasn't suprised though. Last time Nate and Papa Dave went to eat with her, she got through the line before them and didn't even save them a spot at her table. Once they hit Kdg., they are just too cool!

Happy 4th Birthday Braylee

Today was the big day. Bray Bray turned 4 years old today!!! She was about as excited as she gets about things! :) Not overly thrilled with it but still seemed to enjoy herself. She got a lot of neat presents and had a really cute Tinkerbell cake. I'm not overly creative nor am I a great baker, so we ordered it and it turned out cute. She did get a Baby Alive doll and after Grandma told her that she had to change its diaper, she decided she wanted to return it to Wal-Mart. No diaper changing for her! We got lots of cute pictures so I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Happy Birthday Bray!

Sisterly Love

I just had to put this picture on here! The girls are actually sitting next to one another AND smiling. That just doesn't happen very often so I had to get proof.

My last day!

The entire class

Well, today was my much dreaded but also exciting last day of school! It actually was a little bittersweet. I am so happy to be finished but also so sad to leave. I have really gotten attached to the kids in the last few months and am really going to miss them! They were sad to see me leave but I do plan on subbing next semester so I promised I'd be back. I go back to Pittsburg on Monday and then I am officially finished. Woo Hooo!!!

OK, scratch the fact that Brecca was on the playground when she threw up. She was still in the classroom - getting ready to go out to the playground. She said Miss Claiborne got the trashcan and Ms. Methvin held back her hair. What great teachers! Sorry for all of the details. I just feel we need to tell it like it is! :)

Still sick!

I almost posted on here last night that Brax was on the mend - and then he threw up! Not fun! Luckily it was only the one time and seems to be feeling fairly well. Not his usual self but not too bad. Luckily Grandma Julia was available to watch him today so he didn't have to go to the babysitters. Around noon, she got a call from the Elementary school. Brecca had thrown up at school! She was on the playground when it happened, lucky for them! So they went and picked her up. She slept most of the day and is asleep again so hopefully it won't take her too long to feel better. Keep your fingers crossed for the rest of us! :)
