Pear's are my favorite

I got this in an e mail from Grace's teacher today.

" I had people come observe my class today and Grace really shined! She was such a great talker, singing along, answering questions, etc. It was JUST what I wanted them to see from our class! :) "


I am so proud of Grace. I can almost have a conversation with her now!! Granted if you dont know her lingo, you probably dont get much but it has helped me alot!

Top 10

10 things I learned the first week of school.

1. I am positively giddy when the school bus rolls away at 9 05.

2. I can bake 3 times as much in 3 hours while Grace is at school than i can in the same 3 hours when she is home.

3. Eddie makes friends fast ( I actually already knew that.)

4. Eleanor will watch Dora and Diego the whole 3 hours that Grace is at school if i let her.

5. Eddie's room CAN stay clean for longer than 8 hours at a time.

6. Eddie will not eat breakfast at home but he will eat breakfast at school.

7. By the time Grace gets home from school i can have all my chores/errands done and can sit on the couch until it is time to get Eddie.

8. Going to the grocery store is a million times easier.

9. Grace and Eleanor home together is a way different dynamic than last year when Eddie and Eleanor were home together 3 days a week.

10. Grace is going to learn WAY more in the PEAR program than she ever did in PPCD, i am already happier with her class than i ever was last year.

HORRAY FOR SCHOOL!!!!!!!

FIrst Day of school

Tuesday was the first day of school. Eddie started Kindergarten, which he loves. I think he was made for school.

Grace started her new speech program. She is so excited to get on the bus every morning and they have been learning abut Dinosaurs this week. She is gone for about 3 hours every day.


So that leaves Eleanor home with me until little brother gets here in December. We have had alot of baking to do this week but she is a great helper and when she gets tired of helping she watches Dora. So nice and quiet...

Look at my little widget!!! 140 days down, 140 days to go. I am half way there!!!

Happy 4th of July.

I saw this on another blog that i read...Have a happy 4th.

Announcement

Well if the little widget at the right isn't a big enough clue.... We are having a baby!! I am due December 29th and am still in the midst of major morning sickness (curse all of you who don't get morning sickness). I figure in 9 more weeks or so i might actually start to get excited about being pregnant!

Poor Blogger

Hi I am a poor random blogger. Sorry i don't update very often, i find reading about other peoples lives is more fun than writing about mine. BTW, The cakes in the previous post were not very well labeled. The wedding cake was for my sister Ada's wedding reception in April. The Boobie/Belly cake was for a lady who we made the grooms cake for her wedding, back when i was pregnant with Grace, and now she is having her first baby.

I have been selling bread at the Pflugerville farmers market. It has been exhausting, but well worth it. Standing out in the 90+ degree heat for 4 hours is not pleasant, but at least i get out of the house for a couple of hours.

Now that you are all sufficiently updated...... The next post will be more exciting, I promise.
