Oh Dear

Random Picture of Edwin

So I need to tell you a story... Ok It is something I did but I don't want to admit it.



Yesterday when I was picking up the girls, like every other day, I let Edwin down to play while we gathered up our stuff. Well, the girls were ready to go so we started walking out the door. I made it all the way out to the front step and then stop. I was forgetting something. a I looked around I realized what I forgot.

Where was Edwin??

Yep, I had left him in the classroom playing with the toys.



I immediately turned around to run back in the building and to the classroom and right there coming out of the door was one of the teachers holding Edwin. She just smiled and said, "Are you missing something?"



Can I just say Wow I feel like a DORK!!!!!



Seriously how does that happen?

Somebody please tell me something that will help me feel better about this. Please?

Another Hair Story

Waiting for our turn.Here he is getting all ready.

What in the world is that funny noise and why are they tickling my head?
I think that is what he is thinking.
He is doing an amazing job!

Thanks Aubree for doing a wonderful Job.

Hair

Since school started for these two girls they have loved me doing their hair in the morning.
Si I decided to take a picture of today's masterpieces. they love braids, twists, and knots of all sorts.
I'm glad they let me do it, it makes me smile to know they like it to.

They have a lot of fun when they get to school to. There is one teacher who has to stop them and look at their hair every morning. they love the special attention, and secretly so do I.

My Not So Happy Boy.

This morning started out pretty great. We were all happy and playing together until,







A little boy got a little too crazy and fell down and did this to his tongue.

This only shows one side, we couldn't get a good picture of the other side. Just now that it looks just that bad on the other side. He didn't really want to have a picture taken either he just wanted mommy to hold him.

It has made for a pretty rotten day now. I haven't been getting my chores done and he only napped for 30 minutes.



I am glad he still has his tongue though, It would be pretty rough to loose the tip of your tongue.

riding..... soon

So do you remember that Rob got a bike for his birthday/fathers day?
He used it most of the summer to go to work/school everyday. until it just got to hot for him and he didn't want to be that stinky in the workplace.


I also got a bike. Our dear friend moved away during the summer and while helping them pack things up and throw things away she gave me her bike.


Now we just have one problem, four of them actually, Caleb, Hailey, Chloe and Edwin. They need bikes or someplace to be.


I've already decided that we are totally saving and hopefully we can afford some bike for the for Christmas. We will see.


I've also been checking Craigslist alot, everyday, a few times everyday even, and it has payed off.


I was able to find a trailer to attach to my bike or even Rob bike. THIS is what it looks like. And no I did not pay nearly that much for it.


So now we have two of the problems taken care of, we still have two more. Hopefully we can get them taken care of soon.


I love my little problems.

Pre-School

Tonight was the open house for Hailey and Chloe's Pre-school.

They got to see the classrooms, toys, playground, and all the other things they needed to see before classes start on Tuesday.



They were so excited to find their names on their cubbyholes and even on the door to the room. It was so much fun to watch them explore and make new friend with the teachers there.



Here is Hailey with two of her teachers. Jill, the head teacher, and Kelly a support teacher.

Her is Chloe with two of her teachers, Gavin, the head teacher, and Stephine, a support teacher.



There are four teachers in each classroom, one head, and three support, and there will be about 18 children in each classroom.



I'm so excited to have a couple hours in the morning with just my Edwin. This is going to be an awesome year.

While the boys are away the girls will play!

The girls had some friends over on Wednesday. What a fun day for them.

These are the only pictures I got but we also watched a movie and had races in the backyard, and lots of bubble blowing.
I think they had a super fun day.

1st Grade

This has been Caleb's first week of First Grade!!
Can you believe he is old enough for first grade?

He has come home this HAPPY everyday!

On Tuesday night we got to go and find his teacher and his classroom.

He found his Desk.

Here he is with his Teacher Mrs. Sontgerath. She just gave him a sticker that says he is officially a first grader. Pretty exciting!



He loves riding the bus, eating lunch at school, drinking chocolate milk everyday, learning new things, enjoying four recesses, filling his Locker, wearing his new Franklin t-shirt. AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

What's in the Trash?

When Rob walked past the Dumpster this morning he couldn't help but hear a little wild noise. So he looked in and found this cute little thing looking right back up at him.Doesn't this face just say, "Please mister, I need help out of here."
"I just can't do it alone."



The Maintenance people where around so they helped the little guy out.

If you can see him he is running towards the big tree, he is right in the middle of the road.
Pretty exciting for everyone,all the kids, who got to see.

Spacetime!

I came across this and just had to share. Hope you enjoy it.

In anticipation of school starting, brush up on your knowledge of outer space so you can impress your children (or at least know vaguely what they’re talking about):


8 planets, 5 dwarf planets
This has probably changed since you went to school. After Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet, “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas,” the phrase used by schoolchildren everywhere to remember the names of the planets, is without “pizzas.” (Proposed alternatives are, “My Very Excellent Mother Just Sent Us Nowhere.”) The 5 dwarf planets are (in order): Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.


Small Sun
Compared to other stars that have been found, our sun is small. (The largest known star, VY Canis Majoris, is at least 1,800 times the diameter of our sun, or at least 7 times our solar orbit.) Our sun’s diameter is only 865,000 miles (109x earth), but it is brighter than about 85% of the stars in our galaxy. It is nearly a perfect sphere. It accounts for roughly 99.86% of the mass in our solar system and consists of mostly of hydrogen and helium. It derives energy from nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.


Early Earth?
Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is the only object besides earth to show stable bodies of surface liquid (rivers, lakes, and seas, likely of liquid methane). It is also dominated by seasonal weather patterns, including wind and rain, and it has sand dunes. This moon is considered similar to an early Earth, although it is much colder.


Cosmological Redshift
This is the tendency of light sources far away to move towards the red end of the visible color spectrum. This phenomenon occurs due to the expansion of space (not that it is growing into anything outside itself, but that the parts are separating from each other).
