Grateful

Today we had another busy day.  Mommy is grateful for a lot of things tonight.

Mommy is grateful for Grammie and Grandpa for letting Oliver sleep in and be lazy while Mommy took her Y break!  Mommy is also grateful for our neighbors who helped watch Oliver for a few hours today while Mommy went to her classroom.  Oliver had so much fun with the neighbors, he swam, played with pretend guns, went to Souplantation and played some more!

He loves going to play there!

Mattias made Oliver a pretend gun.

Oliver loves it.

So, here is a sneak peek at the work Mommy, Grammie, 

and Oliver (kind of) put into the classroom:

Mommy still isn't finished putting up her boards.

Grammie did a really nice job with the library!

Mommy will need to put her book labels on the

baskets!  

Mommy is grateful that her old friend Amy gave her

the ideas for decorating with reds, blues, and blacks

to create a warm friendly environment.  And one

that doesn't have to change much!

Mommy's "College Bound Wall!"

Each class is represented by a college!

Mommy chose Purdue!

 Mommy is ready for tomorrow, she thinks that

once the school year starts to get settled in, Oliver

will like that Mommy is a teacher again.  Hopefully

we don't have super crazy weeks like we just had!

(Mommy still can't believe how fast it happened!)

Mommy also hopes that she can more patiently teach

these rules to Oliver again.  She would be grateful for

more patience and hopefully more time to work with him.
