Let me start this post out by saying that I am not making light of what happened today. I completely support and appreciate the actions taken by city officials and emergency management professionals. The safety of our students FAR outweighs ANY inconvenience. That being said, here ...
First Homecoming Dance
My big girl attended her first homecoming dance this week. Now, just to clarify, this dance IS closely monitored by teachers and parents. The music was chosen beforehand and there were zero slow songs. It was for 2nd through 4th graders at our school and was a fundraiser for a 4th ...
A Library Visitor and Cute Target Stuff
Let me start this post by saying I know these photos are completely crappy. Yes, that IS a snake. Thus the reason for the crappy photos--I wasn't getting too close!Yesterday, as I was walking through the library, I noticed what I thought was a rubber snake in the floor. I thought ...
Back to School + the Last First Day of Kindergarten
Hello. My name is Courtney, and I am having an EXTREMELY hard time with my last baby girl starting kindergarten. It seems like just yesterday that I was bringing her home, and now she comes to school with me and Kyndall. I don't quite know how to take it.On Thursday night, we had ...

Friday Free-For-All
It's been awhile since I've done a wrap-up post, and boy do I have a lot to catch up on!! Kyndall is sailing right along in first grade, loving every single second. Libby is treading water in Pre-K... some days are great, some not so much. Shirts have been trucking along full speed, ...
Our Week in A Nutshell
I recently read a blog post titled "5 post ideas for when you have nothing to say." It made me giggle. I have plenty to say, just no time to say it! :)In the past week, we have had two birthdays (Mallory's and my mom's); 2 soccer games, Kyndall's open house at school, a full week back at ...
Hello August!
The last few days of summer are quickly dwindling away. I have 3 days left, but who's counting? We've been doing a lot of back-to-school preperation around here. Purchasing school supplies, picking out a few new outfits, and backpack shopping.I think shopping for a backpack has ...
Re-cap
I was going through my computer earlier, cleaning out files and organizing photos, and I came across a document I had saved when I thought I was going to start a blog. It was almost a year ago, but I couldn't bear to delete it, so I'm posting it here. It is complete randomness, set back ...
ABC’s, 123’s, and lots of Kleenex for Mommy!
My big girl graduated from Kindergarten tonight. It was bittersweet. I have been so amazed at the things she has learned over the past 180 days. Being a K teacher for 4 years, I've seen how quickly children mature at this age, but seeing it firsthand with my little girl has been a ...
Gullion Farms Field Trip
Even though we live on a farm, we took a little trip to another one with K's class at school. The field trip was to Gullion Farms and the kids were able to do all kinds of exciting things. If you are ever in our neck of the woods, I especially recommend visiting this place. K loving ...
