Time Flies

Time flies when you're having fun! I can't believe that it is almost February. We've had an unusually warm winter so far this year. We did get some sleet and snow on Friday; therefore, I got out of school early. It was nice to get to start my weekend a couple of hours early! We haven't accomplished much this weekend, except purchasing a new chandelier for our dining room -- nothing too extravagant, just something nice and new! Well, other than that, we've been doing stuff around the house and relaxing! Next weekend we're heading out to Indiana for my cousin's ordination! That'll be a fun weekend trip! :)

Here's a picture of Cooper and I last year while we were working on our living room. 

Jeff & I went shopping today, and he finally got his chainsaw. Here's a picture of his chainsaw! Sorry if it's not so clear! 

A Nice Weekend At Home!

Well, Jeff & I had a nice weekend at home. On Friday, we didn't do too much. I worked on organizing pictures a bit, and we ate, and just relaxed at home. Saturday, we got up and around, went to the store to buy fritos for supper, ate lunch, went and washed my car and then went and washed Jeff's Truck. It was nice having REALLY Nice Weather! Then, we came home and took down the Christmas tree and put away all our Christmas decorations. After that, we finished cleaning the living room. Then, I made Chili for supper. While it was cooking, we cleaned off the dining room table so we'd have somewhere to eat! :) Then, we ate and then we rented "War of the Worlds" I was convinced that I was going to have SCARY dreams. LUCKILY, I did not! Well, today, we got up, ran to Target and bought a ladle, picture albums, and a bag for our computer. Then I came home and finished organizing all our pictures, while Jeff worked on his workshop in the basement! Now, it's time to work on lesson plans for school!

Back to the Daily Grind

Well, today was our kids first day back after Winter Break! It wasn't as long of a day as I thought it was going to be! My morning started out with my 2nd & 3rd graders writing a story about what they did over break. Then I headed to 1st grade where we did a lot of counting, color, shape, letter review. Then it was back to math with a 2nd grader. Overall, it wasn't too eventful of a day.

Now, that I'm home, I'm putting all my pictures organized in picture albums. I just ordered 388 pictures off my digital camera -- yes, I'm like those commercials where the kid is suspended in air because the parents won't take the pictures off the camera. Yes, I'm similar, my pictures make it from my camera to my computer, but then get stuck there. I think I'm pretty well caught up now. Now, I just have to reorganize my picture albums.

Next comes the tastk of taking down Christmas stuff and putting it away! ARGH!! I think Christmas trees should be left up all year round! :) Just kidding! Well, off to picture organizing!

Happy 2006!

It is officially the new year! Jeff & I had a good New Year's. Our weekend started with us going to meet my mom so I could go to my Great Uncle Roy's funeral on Friday. Then Jeff came up and picked me up from my mom's. Then Saturday, we went to Iowa and had Christmas with my family. Actually, we just met at a Pizza place and had some good quality family time. Then we got back to the 'Ville and went to my brother-in-law's house for a New Year's Eve party. It was a lot of fun. We ended up going uptown at about 10:30 to ring in the new year. We had a lot of fun! I hope you all have a GREAT 2006!
