Oh what a week....need to get a grip!

Monday morning. Missed posting all week. I hate to post on here. It is ok to post but I always post with pictures and it doesn't cooperate anymore. Takes forever and won't do a group. But some people like my post so here I go.  I just may switch to Facebook though.
LONG, LONG week!!! The new kids from the other school are difficult to say the least. They whine, hit and the worst of it is they DO NOT LISTEN!!!!! Circle time is a nightmare. So I need to come up with a system this week. I am in control. We have up to 12 - 18 kids a day now and 4 more starting on May 1st. Not sure how things will work out. I wanted to quit on Friday. Seriously!!!! I am praying for a love for all these new kids.
We did Earth week because of Earth Day yesterday. It was fun projects.

This week we are doing LEARNING!!!!! We need to test them to see how prepared they are for Kindergarten....and who needs more help and with what.

In my other life we went to one of Jordy's games and one of Maddie's games. After Maddie's game on Saturday we took Lauren and Maddie with us. Got Maddie's bangs fixed, got McD's, went to my school, went to the library and traded in books for this week and came home so they could play. Made BBQ ribs, dirty rice, mac and cheese for dinner and the girls loved it.
Saturday night was a very interesting sleeping night.... see facebook.... and Sunday we went to the trailer and played school which they were great at....then went to a park on Bainbridge Island which they loved. They played and we fed the ducks and geese.

Blogger only let me put up half of the pictures. Oh well. It sucks. I need to go take a shower anyway.
But first..... Saturday was also the birthday of my youngest grandchild!!!! Jared turned 6. I love that kid..... he is a riot!  Happy Birthday Jared!!!!

Again...it didn't let me put pictures on I wanted to.... but these are so cute of him growing up! Hope you have a wonderful day and week!!!!!!! xoxo

My birthday week!

I am caught up on reading my friends blogs. I miss my Georgia friends!!!!!  And Julie! Been praying for her as she is in Iowa. Those midwest storms are terrible.  With family in Oklahoma and friends through out the midwest.... we keep a close eye on them.

Well... haven't had time to post all week as usual. I really don't like blogger anymore. I am not able to post the pictures right....it takes forever and multiple tries. grrrr... Anyway....I guess my posts are getting to be weekly.  So I will tell you about my week.  Mostly work...and softball.

Monday we rode the bus to Battle Point Park on Bainbridge Island. It was fun. The kids enjoy the bus ride and the park.
Tuesday Lauren had her first game.  The parents are NEVER late picking up the kids at my school...but lately they have been...a couple times!  So the games I want to see at 6:00 I am late for. Figures. We will have to post a note.
Wednesday Maddie's 1st game got rained out!  Of course, no parents were late that night! lol! But she played on Friday!  And Friday her and Lauren spent the night and the parents went to support Kevon's band in Poulsbo! Here is a pic...he must be having fun!

Maddie in her uniform...#8 like Uncle Kevon was!

Lauren played on Saturday, too!

My birthday was Thursday....it was the best birthday ever...even though I missed mama not singing to me for the first time ever in my life. I knew she was from Heaven. And Karla called me at 6:00 a.m. ....just like mom did. That meant the world to me. All the kids called and grandkids, I got a bizzilion facebook greetings, and at school it was awesome! They made this big sign and hung outside the school! Then there were cards and a quilt from pictures, candy, flowers, ... I was flooded all day with amazing hugs and kids!!!!!!

When I got off work Veronica was there to wish me a happy birthday and I talked her into following me home!  At home Karla, Dylan, Maddie, Ryan, Amanda, Andrew, Lauren, and Kevon all came for BBQ burgers! It was so wonderful and relaxing! 
Well.... I have to be to work in less than an hour so that is all I have time for today! Thanks for hanging in there with me! lol!

Easter Sunday

 He is Risen!!!!!!! Hallelujah!
Had a very nice, short Easter at my house.  We started at noon... and ended at 2:00. lol!  Heathers family had a 5 hour drive ahead of them.  Karla's family couldn't make it....Maddie had strep throat.  But we did good in two hours. Had brunch, an Easter Egg hunt, and Riley and Lauren made a bunny cake and the kids played Jo's game. Short time but nice. :D

Here are some pictures:
