5.26.10 The Dumping Room a.k.a Nursery Before!

This is the room we will be turning into the new baby's nursery. It is currently our guest room, although with my copious amounts of stuff coming home from school for the summer, it has become the dumping grounds. I think I have alot of work ahead of me this summer...good thing we don't get too many out of town visitors! (although I wish we would!!)

5.25.10 Lesson Planning

I am so excited to go back to teaching art next year, that I have already started my lesson plans for next year! I'm hoping that by the time school starts, I am pretty much done with lesson planning for the year.

5.23.10 Giants of the Savannah

The Dallas Zoo opened a brand new exhibit this summer. Actually, it opens next weekend! Because we are members of the zoo though, we were invited to a sneak peek of the new stuff. It was really awesome, and soooo big. Which is great for our elephants. There are also pretty cool enclosures for the lions and cheetahs, and you can even feed the giraffes! Jakob is really starting to enjoy looking at the animals too, although he still calls most of them dogs. =)

5.21.10 Playing Dressup

I don't know why, but Jakob loves putting his daddy's hat from an old costume on. I managed to get a picture tonight, which is rare. Usually as soon as I go for my camera he stops whatever he is doing.

5.20.10 Limo to Chuck E. Cheese

Mr. Charles owed me lunch, and since he is in charge if special events, I had been bugging him about letting me go on the fundraiser lunch for kids who sold 5 or more boxes of chocolate. When I saw the limo pull up in front of the school, I tracked him down and demanded he let me go (I luckily had no classes that afternoon). It was my 2nd time being in a limo, but this one was much larger than the one I rode in the night of Jeff and I's wedding. We had a really good time playing games with the kids and eating our pizza.

5.19.10 Trashcan Kisses

A few weeks ago, mom gave us this mesh trashcan. We have yet to use it, but Jakob found a use for it. He likes to wear it as a hat or put it on our heads, and especially likes to give kisses through it. I hadn't thought it before, but now I think that may be kind of gross. Oh well. The things you do to make your kids happy!

5.18.10 Jeff turns 27!

I tricked Jeff into coming to work to help me load stuff up from my class, when really I had his gifts there hiding from him. He has been wanting to learn to grill, so I bought him a charcoal grill that is also a smoker. Jakob gave him a season pass to chill at the water park with us.
