Walking without papers!

How can things change so quickly?  Well....maybe I stirred up the waters?  The kids at my school were awesome Monday - Wednesday.  Thursday?  Things went south so quickly!!!! The only change we had was in the room. I rearranged things into more organized centers.

I put the reading area by the cubbies where the parents pick them up.

Here is our circle time...to the left is all the building materials...blocks, leggos, train set, lincoln logs, etc...

And to the right is Imagination Station...they have their Home living area with a kitchen set, babies, puppet show, cars, doll houses, etc...

 I think it is really cool! It worked out really well for the kids play time....but they were as wild as moose milk!  No listening at all. So they hardly got any stars. This morning they are getting books on manners!!!! lol!

Here are the sun's they painted. Some are so cute and some a bit scary! haha!

And they built sun catchers. That was cool!

I could have easily walked yesterday.  I was out at the playground mentally figuring out the bills and we could do it easily enough.  But then kids would come up and hold my hand or something sweet and I would forget about it.

I have decided today is going to be a good day no matter what.  I woke up at 5 and took my shower. I am having my coffee, the sun is beautiful coming up over the water, and it is so quiet and peaceful now. I love it. The day is going to be a good day.  Ice Cream cookies!

I love my hair. The stylist did a great job....exactly what I wanted. I will return to her.

It was just washed so the bottom is wet. lol!

Had a death in the family the other night. Pete's wife, Laura, passed away from cancer. They just diagnosed her and within weeks she was gone. It was everywhere...in her heart, lungs, bones. It was a nasty form of cancer that never even gave her a chance. She was such a nice person. The last time I saw her was last July at our home for Lanny's retirement party. (Pete is Lanny's cousin)  She was younger than me....has kids and grandkids. Such a big loss.  Praying for the family. There will be no service.

Well.... Lauren spent the night. Today her and Papa are picking her daddy up at the ferry. He's been on a work trip for a month. She is excited.  Best go....got some work to do! Have a great day!
