Super Pup!

So, I'm still in 4th grade and I am still alive! I survived the infamous "Mission Field Trip" which, by the way, consumed 11 hours of my day! Wow. That's just too much time. Anyway, the teacher who went out on maternity is scheduled to come back right on schedule. So I'm happy about that. I actually really like my class and I'm enjoying 4th grade alot. It's just not as fun when you don't get to start the class off at the beginning of the year. I'm stuck trying to catch up and figure things out in short periods of time. So although I love my class and am actually having fun...I am also excited for the teacher to return.

On another note, I was looking at pictures on my camera and found some pictures I had forgotten all about. When we went to Orange County a month or so ago, we found these outfits at the pet store on HUGE clearance. So of course, I HAD to buy them!

Penny looks so cute in her baseball shirt! We love baseball in our house, so it was very fitting!


Baxter will have to grow into his shirt! But he is still cute!


All 3 of my babies together. Not the best picture but well you try getting all 3 of them to sit still for a picture!!!


I'm sorry but this HAS to be the funniest ever! Ever since we got Scooter I wanted to get him a cape. He runs around the house and flies off the couch like Super Pup! I could NOT believe I found this!


To get the full effect. It really does have the Superman emblem on his chest!
Scooter the Super Pup!!


Well that's about all for now. I hope to post with some more pictures soon, but well, let's be honest...I am a little busy. I will get to it when I can! Until then!!!!

To be in 4th grade again....

Yes, it's true. I am in 4th grade again. But it's not what you think. I'm a long term substitute for a teacher who went on maternity leave. I survived my first week and I must say I did okay. There were no major problems, and that HAS to be a good thing right? I'm already excited for spring break though. It starts the 17th of March which by the way is way too early in the year to be celebrating Easter. But I will take it because I am ready for a break! I am "lucky" enough to have the mission report and projects during my time in 4th grade, as well as the infamous Mission field trip. So, things should be very educational for me! I will tell you how it all plays out. I'm scheduled to be finished April 18th, but as we know, pregnancy can be unpredictable. As of now, I have not heard word that she has even had the baby, and well, she is only taking the minimum of 6 weeks off (excluding spring break). So if she hasn't had the baby or there are any complications, she could be out longer.

As for teaching jobs, it doesn't look good. Most likely if I do get hired, it won't be until just before school starts or right after. So I stay in limbo until that time. I'm possibly pursuing the idea of working full time at the office I work at right now part time. I would get benefits and a steady paycheck. I'm going to give it a whirl in the summer and go from there. If a teaching job presents itself, then I will make my decision. I just can't stand not having a "career" by now. It's not what I had in the plans for myself. So, I will keep you posted on how that develops.

No pictures this time. The pups and John have been pretty normal lately. Nothing really to report. I will try to take some pictures soon but I am so crazed most of the time it is unlikely!

Until then....
