It’s already June?!?

Monday, May 31st, 2010

May has completely flown by!  Between Fred and I wrapping up our school years, entertaining the boys, and “summer-izing” our house, it’s been a crazy month!   Here’s a few highlights:

Cal’s new glasses, isn’t he handsome!

Playing outside (on the deck, tasting home-grown chives of course!)

Testing out the new pool

And just throwing around the old football

We are both looking forward to this summer, where we can sit back, relax, and enjoy the nice weather with our two very energetic and fun loving boys.  Yes, Fred will be working his summer camp job again, but I’m hoping we’ll have time for lots of close to home and frugal adventures.  Hopefully I’ll have time (and energy) to tell you all about it here.  So stay tuned!

Busy As A Bee

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Fred’s been bugging me about posting here, since the last few posts have been from him.
But I have a good reason for not posting!
Two weeks ago I started a long term substitute job teaching kindergarten. The teacher I am taking over adopted a baby. As of right now, I’ve got the position until the end of this school year. I’m hoping that this will lead to a permanent position next year. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
As for now, I love the students in this class. I’m really having a great time, it’s like having my own classroom again.

In other news…

Fred (and Andy and Fred’s Dad) worked their behinds off this past week to remove all the furniture in the bedrooms and office, pull up the old carpet in the house (throughout the 3 bedrooms and hall way) and seal the floors with Kilz (just like in the living room). Then after the carpet was laid, they put all the furniture back (and cleaned up so I wouldn’t have to!).
** It looks great, I’ll post pics soon!

Fred and I repainted our bedroom, it’s now a nice robin’s egg blue!

I started another Grad class, so that’s 2 classes and the tutoring I’m doing one hour a week to keep me busy now.

Oh yeah, and the big news:

Fred finished his Graduate work! Soon he’ll have his Master’s of Education degree from the University of Phoenix Online in Curriculum and Instruction. He’s just waiting on his grade for his final class now. I’m so proud of him! He’s really worked hard for the last 2 years (almost) to get this done, even though he didn’t want to. I’ll post more about this too later, when he’s officially finished. But feel free to leave him a comment of congratulations or email him (he’ll check them when he’s not busy catching up on video gaming!).

Again, sorry it’s been a little slow around here, but I promise to post some updates in the next week or so. Just keep checking back!

Snow Day – No, Tax Day

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Today we had a Snow Day, so instead of calculating grades I calculated our Taxes.

The Calculator!
