I wonder if I lost any of you. . .

I am now on FACEBOOK and loving it! It's so addicting, but I am trying to limit my amount of time on it. So, if any of you are on FACEBOOK, let's be friends. Today I was supposed to be observed but since my observer had to break up 2 fights, she did not come to observe me. I think that my students liked and learned from my lesson so that's a good thing. I will tell you that this new school that I am at, is definitely different from my other one. We'll have to see what happens next year.

Here are some pics so you know what we have been up to.

Here we are outside today playing in the yard. The kids loved playing in the leaves.


Here is Christian's 1st Harley!

What do you think of my new haircut? I love it but Archie thinks that if it's this short then I should just go bald!

They boys love playing together!

Bedtime- prayer time! They love this and I think it's SO cute!

Christian praying-

Caleb praying-

Caleb blowing kisses- another bedtime ritual- well, it actually started at bedtime, but it occurs throughout the whole day!

Christian stood and posed for this one- he definitely knows the camera! Good boy!

I took off a day of work last week and had the wonderful opportunity to bring Madison to school and to pick her up. It was SO much fun! Here is Madison after school holding the door open for her classmates. We had such a wonderful day together and when the boys were napping, that is when I became a FACEBOOK member!

A few weeks ago, Archie and I traveled to Peoria to attend a Murder Mystery party with our dear friends Todd and Becky. We had SO much fun! Archie was the character "murdered" and we all had to try to figure out who did it. The white flour on his face symbolizes his death.

Here is the whole gang that took part in this fun murder mystery weekend. We all had to dress up and become characters from the 1960's. Archie was "Billigan" a sailor and I was a famous Hollywood actress. If you ever get a chance to do something like this- DO IT!

This weekend we will be going to an apple orchard, watching Madison's soccer game, and celebrating my Mom's bday. I will show you pics again soon!
