Friends

Its nice having a friend to count on!  Mattias came up to Mommy's classroom today to play with Oliver and keep him company!  Mommy was thankful that he was able to come up with us!  We are making good progress.  




(Happy Saturday!  It is HOT!)

Classroom

Mommy picked up Oliver in the afternoon today and we headed back up the mountain to Mommy's school.  We've still got a lot of work to do!!!

Mommy loves the drive!  So does Oliver!

The hill probably isn't that good for our 
ailing Adventure Subaru though.

Bell at the entrance!

Happy Kid.
(Doors...)

Looking for room 10!

Found it!

Out to play!

Long funny story.  
(Mommy will tell you later.)

Socks on the floor, getting comfy in the classroom.

Mommy hopes he is more helpful tomorrow!
Mommy is glad he is home.

Donut Wednesday

We had a nice Donut Wednesday this morning at home!  We got our donuts last night so that we could eat the yums in the morning and be off for school early!  Mommy had a teaching interview up in Valley Center early, Oliver helped a lot by getting up early and being very cooperative!  

Looking for donuts.

Oliver's Donut holes.

Mommy's Donut hole.

Cuteness.






In the evening Oliver hung out with our neighbor Andrew and son, Axel while Mommy and his Daddy went to Back to School Night. 


Oliver's Self Portrait.

His real 1st grade portrait!

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.  Mommy didn't sleep well last night, hopefully she does tonight.)

Update:
Mommy's Third Grade Teacher Portrait!

Mommy got the job and will be teaching at Valley Center Elementary!
Its just a short, pretty drive "up the mountain" from our home!
(Mommy's hands look funny.
Mommy does that with her hands when she is overwhelmed,
excited, and feeling a ton of other emotions!)


Mommy will see Oliver tomorrow afternoon for a nice together weekend!  We will be setting up Mommy's classroom for most of the weekend!  Anyone reading this who wants to come and help, just call Mommy!

Sprinklers

Mommy said we needed more rain!  So she made some for Oliver in the backyard with the sprinklers!

Oliver made Mommy laugh with his
loincloth moves!

Fun in the rain!

We are loving our time at home together after school!
We are also looking forward to Autumn!  We are
tired of our backyard looking so dry and sad.  

(Goodnight and sweet dreams of rain and love.)

Breakfast

This morning Mommy was able to take Oliver to school.  She showed him how to get breakfast and then how to head out to the playground after eating!  Some days Oliver will be able to do this, now that Mommy will be substitute teaching!  He enjoyed the breakfast part, but was a bit hesitant about the playground part, he is still getting used to being a big kid on campus who gets to play on the big playground!  

Getting his chocolate milk in a bag.

Eating a peanut butter and jelly graham
cracker for breakfast.  Yum.


It started to rain just a little when Mommy 
watched Oliver walk into his classroom
from afar.  (We need rain.) He is so cute 
and Mommy is proud of her little guy!


Happy Monday!
