Just stoppin' by for a quick post...

I realize I have not blogged in close to a year. I like to do an annual post. :) But seriously, I never blog on here because I don't have a lot of blogging friends and with Facebook, everyone stays caught up there.

Let's see. This past year lots happened. But let's fast forward to now. School starts back in a week. I report to work this week but I have already been back "unofficially" to start working on my classroom. This was the very first year I did NOT recieve a pink slip! Yay! So I got to enjoy my summer without the panic of not having a job in the fall and what we would do for my share of the income. A great teacher who had been at Discovery for as long as it has been opened actually moved to Australia this summer so I was blessed by not only being able to stay in Kindergarten (I have never been able to stay in the same grade 2 years in a row!) but I also was given the chance to move into her room! Exciting! Her room is an actual Kindergarten room whereas mine was a regular room. Her room is much bigger and equipped better for Kindergarten. It is also attached to the other Kindergarten teachers which is SO nice. The best part is there is a bathroom in the classroom. Those of you who know me well know how often I pee! So I moved in at the beginning of summer and now I am arranging everything and getting ready for the new batch of sweet Kindergarteners in a week! I'm actually really glad to get back to work. It's some needed structure and routine! Perhaps I will take a picture of my new room when it's all ready and post it on here. That would require me to post more than once this year though....Hmm....

I thought I would share some recent pics of my sweet kids.

My sweet Scooter. Fresh out of the pool. That guy is a swimmer! He's had a rough summer but hasn't let it get him down! We are hoping his nerve damage in his back will heal over time and the numbness in his hind leg will go away. But for now he is happy and not in pain.

My happy Baxter bear. He sure is a happy boy. He still has a "puppy brain" and I love it. Well, sometimes I don't because he is almost 4. He hates the water so he was enjoying the shade on the patio.

Diva Penelope. Penny was being a model for a photoshoot this day. I was trying to get a good shot of her and she was NOT cooperating. She insisted on lying down for most pictures on her side. I swear, she is a floozy. But we love her to pieces!

So I am still making signs. I have a blog for my signs but since I haven't been updating it regularly I want to make it private so I can do some clean up on it. But school is starting and I honestly don't see that happening! I thought I would share some of my recent signs on here!

For a teacher friend for her classroom. Super cute! I think one day I might make one for myself....

GAK is an acronym or something. I don't know...I just take orders and make what they want! Anyway, I designed this entire board. The client just said it was for a garden and to fly free. So this was the result and I really LOVE it. It was extremely time consuming but it was for a great client who has bought 5 signs from me so she gets the best!!

I think that is all for now. Let's see how long it takes before I post again.....
