Finally!

I know... it's been forever since I've posted anything.  Can you tell school started for me?  Who would think that working from 9:00 to 1:00 would be so hard?  It's not that it's hard, it's that the kids are wearing me out.  At the beginning of the year they come in and are unsure of their new surroundings so you have to go above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and it's exhausting.  Either that or have a bunch of crying kids on your hands!  After a couple more weeks I should get in the swing of things and it'll be much easier (and less exhausting.) 

Zach has already had a sick day from school, the Wednesday after Labor Day.  He woke up that morning with a croupy sounding cough and he was breathing kind of funny so I kept him home.  Luckily school for me hadn't started yet.  I called the doctor and got him some medicine and he went to school the next day, he seemed much better.  He continued to get nebulizer treatments though and here was the perfect picture moment when he fell asleep getting one of his treatments.  Poor little guy!

Today my mom and I had fellowship after church.  We were to bring the food and drinks and my contribution was edible acorns.  I bought everything and Kristin and Megan put them together.

Even Zach made a couple which he promptly ate!

The finished product.  A hershey kiss, a mini vanilla wafer and a piece of pretzel all "glued" together with chocolate frosting.  Very easy and quick.

Soccer time again!  Today was Lauren's second game of the season for her travel team.  Last week they won but unfortunately this week they lost.  They're playing in an older age bracket this year so the competition will be much harder. 

I don't have any pictures but Kristin is also playing volleyball again this year.  Today was her second game and they won, they also won last week.  She wants to play volleyball for her school too whenever that gets started up.  I think Megan might try and play that too.  Now to find something for Zach!
