kids and back to school!

So, here are my lovelies that decided they wanted to be human canvases and draw on themselves with markers. Yep, never a dull moment around here!

I'm offically part of the working world again. Started with kids last Monday and have a week under my belt. One class is challenging but you have to have at least one to keep you on your toes! I LOVE my new school and staff. We are like a little family, which is something I have never had before. And, most of the staff is on the same page as far as student achievement goes, which again has never happened.

The kids have started at an in-home day care that is right behind my house, literally. They call it the "white house" and they really like going. It makes my heart happy to see that they LIKE going to day care. They are both getting so big, and I can't believe Em will be 2 in less than 2 months! CRAZY!! They have been going through an "I don't want to listen to Mommy" stage which I REALLY hope ends soon. So trying on my patience, which is a virtue that I lack!

Heading to good ol' Chadron on Friday for a little road trip/get outta dodge, and am excited to see my friends. It's been over 5 years since I've visited! Excited to eat some China House and maybe even some Common Cents nachos! Will post pictures when I get back!!

Oh Emmie!

My little one decided she just couldn't finish her fries before passing out! TOO CUTE!

Hazen AND Emmie for hire!

Well, this year I had to hire both of them to wash my car instead of just Hazen. They did a pretty good job. Were a bit obsessed with the soap, but the car ended up nice and shiny!! :)

Emmie's cast

In the middle of July, poor Em had to get a cast on her arm. Mean brother pulled on her arm at just the right angle and pulled her elbow out of joint. After 2 doctors tried to put it back in place, x-rays and 2 visits to the trauma center, they decided to give her a cast for a week. Here are some pictures to show off "Emmie's purple arm" as we called it...
