Noah's 1st School Project

Noah made his first school project this week. The Kindergarten classes are celebrating the 100th day of school. They had to learn how to count to 100- Noah got a stuffed dog he named Rufus for counting to 100- given to him by his teacher. Their projects had to include 100 pieces. Noah really likes the Eifel Tower, but it was too difficult to make so we went to the next best thing- and Egyptian pyramid. He had fun painting the box, and gluing the sugar cubes and making the pipe cleaner camels and palm trees. All the objects add up to 100 pieces used. Noah is very proud of his creation.

Time Flies- and some ramblings

I can't believe how fast time is flying by right now. Noah started back at school last week. My name can now be added to the "Worst Mom Award." Noah gets out of school early on Wednesdays. I completely forgot him. He was waiting in the office for over 30 minutes wondering where I was. He said he was scared, but he put on a brave face for me.
Daniel started back at preschool today. I was looking forward to this day for a week. I am glad to have some peace in the home for a few hours a week. I love him to death, but boy is he a hard kid to raise. Heavenly Father sure knew my limits with him! I am very excited for Daniel, though. After years of trying to get him interested in a bike Daniel is now riding one with training wheels!! We are so excited! Dustin gets to take the toddler seat off his bike and will no longer have feet and knees kicking him with every pedal.




Noah went to the dentist for the very first time and was so brave. Daniel had an appointment but we couldn't even get him near the chair! Noah inherrited his mom's and dad's crammed teeth. They told us to start saving now for braces in the future. Great, there goes my piano fund!
Dustin starts back up with his crazy semester next week. I know that this semester will fly like the others have. Time already seems to. It seems like January is all but over with all the craziness already starting. It barely started and I already had it fairly full of appointments, outings, and what not.
I have stayed up late and almost through the night reading some great Vampire books that seem to be very popular at the moment. I am done with that series and on to more books. I am also SUPER excited that Masterpiece Theatre started again. They are focusing on Charles Dickens this year and I am going to read Little Dorrit before the miniseries begins. Books, movies, and music!! Life is good.
