L-and-N: October

It has been a while since I have posted because life has been very busy.
My back went out earlier this month and slowed some things down for me. I'm glad I went through that because I needed to see how much I was over working myself and how much Nick needed me. I was spending a lot of time in the classroom and doing way too much. Now that I have stepped back I feel better and I still get things done, but now I share my "To-Do-List" with my assistant. She has been a blessing and we are trying to work together to make things happen.

Nick is focused on school and trying to get into grad school. This will be a new chapter in our life and I am excited for whatever our future holds. Nick decided this week that his focus is going to be Neurological Psychology. We have been looking at a few different colleges and are in the process of applying to them. We are shooting for the stars and if we fall short, well, then at least we tried.

I have been addicted to Pinterest lately and if you don't know what that is or want an invite just email me!

We are shifting wards the first weekend in November and I have already been asked to give a talk (ON MY BIRTHDAY!)

I went to the Optometrist today and I will have glasses in two weeks. I broke my old pair about 5 years ago and never went to get them replaced. I noticed lately that my eyes have been giving me a hard time and I finally broke down and had them checked. This will be my Birthday Gift to myself.

Random picture of a moth.

The fuzzy moth we found in the parent pick up line.. he had a fuzzy tail! so cute!

I am starting some new centers Monday and I am very excited. I had a parent come and volunteer, she asked what she could do and I had her to organize the loft. It is my play kitchen area and the kids love playing up there, but it needed to be organized. SHE DID A GREAT JOB! I took pictures and posted them so the kids would know how to put things back. I also added a food wall, kinda like a word wall but it is pictures of labeled food. I am so excited to add more labeled food as time goes by. Here are some pictures of the organized loft.

We had our first field trip this past Monday and I wish I could post pictures but most of them have my kids in them. We went to the farm stead and we were able to see pigs and some other fun things. Here are the pictures that didn't have any children in them.
