Blog of Little Words

If it weren't for you faithful readers, I'd be skipping this week, but I don't want to let anybody down. This blog of little words will have to do. I've forgotten how hard it is to be a new teacher...well I mean, new to the building. I feel like a first year teacher again. Let's just suffice it to say, "WHEW! I'm TIRED."

Highlights of the week gone by: Landon's taken a liking to coloring with his crayons. He's been spending lots of time choosing one crayon and making one mark on each page of his coloring book, then choosing a new color and starting over. He says, "Come Sit Here! Come Sit Here!" to whomever he can sucker into obeying. However, don't you dare try to color WITH him, he just wants you to watch. Hmmm....we're gonna have to work on that.

We found that Little Miss Mehring is of normal weight, erasing all of our concerns (or hopes) of an early delivery....I say all, but probably most, at least for her mom. I mean look at her dad for crying out loud, let's be honest, the girl isn't gonna be petite. (Don't worry Kelly. It really will be fine. If I can deliver an 8 pounder, you can handle at least a 9. You're way tougher than me.) Here's Momma and baby at the shower.

Soccer is in offical full swing. Sitting on our doorstep one afternoon this week was the annual package from Eurosport containing the goalie gloves of the season. We couldn't resist trying them on Landon. This picture reminds me of something....hmmmmm......Hamburger Helper anyone?

And lastly, for all of you hanging on the edge of your seat to see Room 101 of Rochester Elementary...wait no longer. It's pretty anti-climatic actually. I think it's way more impressive in real life. At least that's what I'm going to say to make myself feel better knowing all of the HOURS I've put into this room. No one better post any ho-hum comments about this classroom. I'm a sleep deprived mom of a 19 month old, teacher of 20, 3 of which are "hand fulls" (direct quote from principals/former teachers), and wife of a coach who is IN SEASON. This is all I've got people. Please be kind. I'm on the edge.

Enjoy the video of the future Beckham. Hopefully when the whole world's watching him, he'll wear some pants. :) The kid's got talent....and I think we all know I can take absolutely no credit for this. Hold your comments on that as well. :)
