First Week of School

WoW!! It has been a crazy couple of weeks, but I have survived another first week of school.  I wasn't sure if my room was ever going to be ready for the kids.  Normally we get into our classrooms the week before all the teachers are suppose to be back, but this year we couldn't get in.  So we only had 2 teacher workdays to get everything together and do lesson plans.

Monday morning came, though and I had to be ready because my kids were coming :)
I am so excited for this year and I am already in love with my students.  They are so sweet and fun!

We haven't been able to do much with out Etsy store because all of our time was spent on my classroom, so we finally got back to getting things made this weekend.  My mom and I worked all weekend long getting things to put on Etsy.

Check back later this week for some of our new items!

Back from Vacation

After a long week of driving, I am glad to be back home to sleep in my own bed.  Colorado was absolutely gorgeous and everyone had a blast.  I was so surprised at how well Peyton did on her first road trip.  The first leg of our trip was 9 1/2 hours long!

We stopped in Raton, NM fort the night and boy was Peyton excited to be out of her car seat!  We weren't sure if she was going to go back to sleep or not.  But once we turned off the lights...we were all fast asleep!

We woke up the next morning and headed to Durango, CO.  This part of the trip was a 6 hour drive but it the scenery was great and so different than here in Texas!  When we pulled in, we stopped at the visitors place that had a great playground for Peyton to run around and stretch her legs.  We had barely seen Durango and we were already in awe!
