Last week was full of prepping my classroom for a new year! I spent hours getting posters out and up, labeling items, putting up the bulletin board, and organizing the majority of my classroom books. Organizing books = OCD nightmare but it now looks wonderful with labeled bins by topic and books in the bin are numbered. Let's hope these kinders understand my
I knew I had to get lots of work done because I had a full weekend planned!
Friday morning consisted of getting on a big yellow school bus and walking some streets in Decatur to welcome some new students to Hope Academy! I wasn't looking forward to going, but it was a good time. Tip for next year = wear comfortable shoes!
Friday afternoon, we were on the fast track to finding a new kindergarten teacher. It was decided last week that we would open a new classroom due to the 60 kinders registered. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to get this done ... We chose one .. and I'm SUPER excited to add her to our K team! Looking forward to a good year!
Friday evening consisted of a much needed mani and pedi with Chrissy and heading out for a bit with some co-workers to ring in the new year. Good time!
Saturday started by heading to my nephews first JFL jamboree! It was very hot sitting in the bleachers, and he didn't get to play .. but it got me ready for football season. It makes me proud to see my nephew out there playing ball! Of course, after we left, my SIL called me and they had put Dyl in! Grrr! Next time, I will see him play!
Saturday afternoon, we packed up and headed to the Illinois State Fair. We used to visit the fair every year, but have slacked off a bit. We hunted for the chickens (my Mom REALLY wanted to find them) and were very unsuccessful. Needless to say, the Roe's aren't familiar with the livestock barns ... who is shocked?
We walked around and visited some normal stops while at the fair - the hypnotist, high dive show, butter cow, and ice cream. It was fun to spend some time together, but I felt like the fair was kind of a let down. We didn't get to meet up with my cousins because of lack of phone service. Sad news ...
Sunday brought a wonderful gathering of most of the family! Having almost 20 of the most special people in your life all together in one place is just simply amazing. We were able to gather the RoCo's together as well as my Grandma and Aunt. We were celebrating my SIL and I's birthdays. It was such a fun time together.
Do you think I took pictures? ... No... I was too busy talking. Use your imagination and check Amy and K's blogs for pictures. I'm sure they'll have some shortly!
Here's the only two pictures I took this weekend ...
Tomorrow is D-day! Happy School year!
