YEAH! School Finally Started!!!!

Actually we just finished our second week and it feels great! My kids are a lot of fun and super chatty so far. I've been trying to get to know them and making sure that I make some time for each of them each day. Some days it's not till the end of the day when I realize that one kid has been in my class all day and I haven't said much to him/her or called on him/her. They are quick learners, but I for sure will be working on handwriting, even if it means a handwriting club during recess...their names are all over the place.

With the starting of school, it also means it's Fall and that means Football. This year is the first year in a long time that I don't know anyone close by that is playing high school football, so I guess that means I will have more time to watch college and the NFL. So far my teams are doing pretty well.

And this Fall, I will be participating in my first ever 5k. I'm really looking forward to it and to see how well my "training" or lack there of will help me out. It is tomorrow! Never did I think I would participate in one, but a friend sent out an email to see if anyone wanted to do it with her, so I thought sure...I'd like a new t-shirt! I will travel tonight up to Bellingham and stay at my friend's house and then tomorrow morning at 0-dark-thirty we will get up and make our way to starting line. Wish us luck!
