The Crazy Men in MY Life

These are the crazy men in my life. My husband and my two sons. They make me laugh.

What a Great Day!

Today was just a great day. The guys were working on the boat getting it ready for next week. Everyone came over and we had a barbecue. My parents, the kids and the grandchildren, I love it when we are all together!

My Buddy

He is Buddy our puggle. He is a mix between pug and beagle. He runs to the door when we come home and wags his tail to show us his joy when we pet him, hold him and especially feed him. When he was a puppy he dug a hole in the wall in my kitchen right into our laundry room. He chewed the bottom of all our kitchen chairs and dug and frayed all the corners of our rugs. We paid $350.00 for a dog trainer which helped a lot but certainly didn't fix everything. In spite of it all he is our Buddy and we love him very much.

Working With Children

I have now owned my own preschool for 5 years and before that I worked as a preschool teacher for 12 years. The question I get asked over and over again is "how can you work with kids"? First of all the children at preschool (it's not a daycare) come to school between 2 and 4 days a week for 2 1/2 hours per day. For example 3 years olds come M-T-W from 9 - 11:30 a. m. The kids come in all excitied to see their friends, they play games, do arts & crafts, learn their letters & numbers, sing, dance, cut, color, learn and have a lot of fun. They love their teachers and love to come to school. The chidren don't talk behind your back, or care what your hair looks like or what you wearing. They don't judge you or worry about who has the designer purse or shoes. They come and give you hugs for no reason and their laughter can cheer you up when you're feeling down. So my response to people when they ask me " how can you work with kids" is ........................"how can you work with adults?

Lucky, Lucky Me

Today I got some great news. Today I found out that everything has been approved to start my new preschool. Now I will have two schools, I am so excited to begin. If everything goes as planned the new school will open in September.

Spring Break - "Iwasgonna"

This morning I woke up to realize that today was the last day of spring break. Oh no, I starting getting myself all upset because I didn't get anything done that I had planned to do. I stated to think of all the things "Iwasgonna"do. Iwasgonna wash the windows, Iwasgonna clean out the closets, Iwasgonna catch up on laundry, Iwasgonna clean the house from top to bottom and then when I was done with that, Iwasgonna paint the family room. Feeling frantic I went and got the paint that my husband and I picked out for the family room and before I new what I was doing I moved the furniture and started painting. I only got one wall done but now at least I feel like I did something! (Crazy isn't it)

Brotherly Love

Here's the boys together. So far Zack just loves his new little brother.

Three Generations

This week my mother, myself, my daughter and my daughter's friend went away together. We laughed, joked, and enjoyed each other's company. Everyday I thank God for Jen (my daughter) for being the teriffic person that she is. The more time I spend with her the more I realize just how wonderful she is and the more I know that she gets it from her grandmother. They are both so special to me!

My beautiful gandsons

What could be better than this! They have brought so much joy to our lives.
