Long time no blog

I wish that I had something cool to say or something that is very interesting but I don't. Life is going well and going by fast. Did anyone else notice that Halloween stuff has been out for weeks and that they already have Christmas at Costco. I'm glad that the stores are trying to help me get a jump start on the holidays but no, I think I will be stubborn and procrastinate like I do every year.
Preschool is going so well. It is just a joy to teach my class. Now that we have gotten into a routine, the kids are catching on so quick. I love the observations that they make and all the connections they are making with the sounds. I really should be taking more pictures of the fun things we do. Here is one of the kids favorite activity using play dough to make their name.


In the afternoons Max is my little companion. Yesterday he was a good sport and went to the mall with me. The little guy fell asleep in the dressing room. I guess he took the shop till you drop thing literally. Now before you go on thinking that I'm so mean for making Max shop for hours. The shopping trip was only 1 1/2 hours and two stores. It is was worth it b/c I took back some shirts that I ordered and got some that I love. The day was a success. Today he helped me fold clothes. He now knows that he can fold all the dish towels and washcloths so that is his job. As a reward we played Hungry Hungry Hippo. This week I was reminded again how truly blessed I am to be home and to love what I do. I love playing with Max, I love being home for Lilly when she comes home from school. I even love cooking dinner and doing laundry. I'm just so grateful for the moments that I have with my family.

Everything you blog about is interesting!! Love the playdoh on the name. Can I steal it? I love the story of Max falling asleep. Ha! And I especially love that you are loving being at home and are not taking it for granted. I have to remind myself of that EVERY DAY.

You are so awesome! Staying at home rocks my socks too.

P.S. Please email me your preschool lesson plans and ideas :) I would love them.

What a sweet post (I mean sweet as in tender, not as in awesome...although you post isn't unawesome, it just has a sweetness to it!) Isn't being a mom the best?!
