First Week of School

...was a huge success!

• Carley came home each day saying "Kindergarten Rocks!"
• Behavior chart was all green smiley faces every day.
• Jeremy's classes went well even if middle school kids are "different"  ;)  Love ya babe.... God bless you this year as you make a difference in the lives of some unique youngsters. You are a great teacher and coach and they are blessed to have you.
• Carley loves her teacher, new friends, and having new classes in the mix this year (Art and Music in addition to P.E.)
• Home made lunchables are super awesome (easy, cheap + add a little fruit or yogurt and it's even on the healthy side.... and it all gets eaten, wahoo!)
• Jeremy's football teams are off to a great start for the season (Big wins on Thursday and Friday night, yay!)
• Zoe was a great helper this week as the two of us got to do all kinds of stuff I don't think I've ever done during a school week before: cleaning the garage & my car, organizing closets, putting stuff in the attic, party planning with a friend (Carley's upcoming birthday), a road trip to meet an old friend for lunch, a mid-day nap, working on projects for my art business, all of my laundry and house cleaning, whew! and this is just the first week..... I'm LOVIN' this stay at home mommy gig! ;)
• Only thing was, by the end of the week I had aquired some kind of nasty sore throat and lost my voice... but it was back above a whisper by Friday night when we went to our first out-of-town football game with friends.
• Thank you Jeremy for being such a wonderful husband, father and provider for our family. Thank you for encouraging me to stay home this year and pursue my dreams of being a stay at home mom and full time artist. I feel so very blessed. You are such a hard worker and I know your hours can be quite grueling but you handle it with such a positive attitude and we are so very proud of you. We love you!

Happy First Week of School!
