Job Report!

I got a job!! I've known for about a week, but it became 100% official yesterday when I went to my hiring authorization and signed my contract!! :) I'm so excited. I will be teaching 1st grade. I'm in a very very diverse school and I think I'm going to have some great experiences. I start November 28 and have no idea what I'm doing on that 1st day/week because my students I will have and the parents have no idea their children are being moved. The classes are high in numbers so they hired another teacher (me) and will be taking so 6-7 students out of each class and moving them to me. I know it's going to be quite the transition but I'm up for it! Being a parent, I think it will be harder for the parents than the children. Anyways, I have absolutely NOTHING for a classroom so I'm hoping to get some things this week/weekend so my students do not come to an empty room. I'm not even sure if I will have one on Monday because the principal was having to ask another teacher to move...so I'm a little anxious of the unknown but really excited to finally have a classroom of my own!!  God is so good and I'm so thankful for this blessing right before the holidays! So much pressure and worry will be taken off our shoulders because of this job!

Halloween 2011-Picture Overload

Happy Halloween!! We had a fun October month. We took the boys to the Pumpkin Festival at Stone Mountain. We had a really good time, but I would love to get a membership so we do not feel like we have to stay all day to get our money's worth. There was so much to do and after 4 or 5 hours of walking around, the boys were tried. Josh and I were tired and there was still so much to do. So, it would be nice to have a pass and be able to go whenever we wanted and could just spend a couple hours there each time. We also went to our Fall Festival at church which was a lot of fun. They had all kinds of games, a hay ride, and smores! The boys loved it! Then of course we took the boys trick-or-treating. This was really the first year we lived in a neighborhood where there are lots of kids and lots of house to trick-or-treat at. We ended up walking around for 2 1/2 hours and the boys have WAY too much candy now!! It was fun though!

Now for pictures!! :)

                   The boys before we left for Stone Mountain. We had a transformer and Spiderman! I really wanted them to be Woody and Buzz from Toy Story, but they had their minds set on their costume and it wasn't worth the battle. I really thought I would have one more year to choose for them though. They are opinionated....not sure where they get that from ;)

                                    The Bubble Man and his huge bubbles! The boys loved this!

They had pumpkin scarecrows you could dress. We didn't dress them but Josh stopped to give one a kiss ;) hah!

                                                       Of Course, we had to go on a train ride!

                                                                           So pretty!

                                                                                  On the train!

 They had this cute game show called Pumpkin Palooza. Before it started, they had all the kids dance up front.
