SUMMER

Wow it is so close I can taste it....Madison has 12 days and I am down to 18!!! Yahoo! Let's get through open house, articulation day, a field trip to the park and I am home free!! That means only 27 days to get in shape for our vacation to St.Maartin! I better get my butt to the gym!

Coyote of the Month

October was an exciting month for Madison...not only is it her birthday and halloween, she was selected for Coyote of the month at her school. It was so wonderful to be able to see her receive her award and hear all the fabulous things her teacher had to say about her. She has perfect attendance, does her homework plus extra, is responsible, respectful, meeting all the standards and is an all-around great kid!!

My Open House

The week after Madison's open house, I had my very own open house in my kindergarten classroom. It went really well. Madison and Mackenzie drug daddy along since they don't want to leave my side :) well, sort of, we had chicks hatch and Madison really wanted to see them.
My open house was a farm theme so of course Madison had to wear her cowgirl hat!
