A First Lost Tooth!
It was so teeny-tiny! The Male Tooth Fairy came and left a toothbrush and a gold coin. So nice the price of a tooth hasn't gotten out of hand in our family. I admire a tooth fairy who has to work with a budget.
Picnic Lunch After Church
A fun gathering for the neighborhood that our church members where invited. It had cabins, trails, picnic tables, tractors, and a boy/girl scout kinda vibe.
You can rent the campground....but it was too pricey for our family.
It was fun to dream.
Perfect weather for a hike.
So blessed!

It's Soccer Season!
It is so much fun to be with my family as my niece and nephew play in their soccer games!
My niece is a beast when it comes to scoring goals. The shots below are of her kicking the ball and making a goal.
Even on defense.....she runs down the field; getting open; I can hear the 'Eye of the Tiger' theme song
Mean while, my nephew and I found a goat in someone's back yard. We thought he looked a little hungry.
Then we practiced our running form. I don't want to change his running form for anything.....so cute!

And the New School Year has Begun
It is a strange feeling to be playing sports again with students when I've been mastering the art of classroom management for the past 13 years. To put that skill on the back burner so I can relearn 'gym management' is stressful but I see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Once I got the first week under my belt I took on the huge task of Fitness Testing. I've got a lot of work ahead of me with teaching the proper push-up. Sit ups are looking good.
Did the 12 minute Run/Walk test instead of the Mile Run Test. This was definitely less stressful.
For the Kinders, I decided to put together an obstacle course.
Got some fancy new tennis shoes from my Aunt! These are definitely Texas Tennis Shoes!
I'm in charge of the Jr. Coaches who help out at recess. The craft stores beckoned me to bedazzle the coveted red pennies they get to wear during recess.
After Fitness Testing the Soccer Unit had the green light to proceed since I couldn't find any footballs in the P.E. inventory The footballs have two more weeks to show up.
Here we are 'punting' the soccer balls since my boys love to kick the ball as hard as they can.
My first graders are so cute when kicking and trapping the soccer ball.
These two pictures make me smile every single time!
And what a cute idea to promote the Otter exhibit at the zoo!
5th grade was ready for a soccer scrimmage. It went much better than thought. Hopefully, this week the weather will be nice and we can play outside.
One of my responsibilities is Run for the Arts. The money your school brings in pays for amazing performances presented to our students. This guy had an electric cello and our student's wanted to clap to the beat for every song.
Here I am kicking of the Run for the Arts......so not my thing.....except for bedazzling my T-shirt. Pictures to soon follow.

Family Unite!
The ceiling fan.....so many steps.....colors....pieces....and running back and forth to turn the electricity on and off. It turned into a family project.
My brother-in-law...working from the reclining chair.
It was so much fun watching how all our gifts and talents were able to compliment each other while trying to complete this project. I am very blessed to have a family that likes helping each other out.

Extended Weekend
My body is adjusting to the germs of my new working environment. So having a three day weekend was much needed so I could get over this nasty cold. With the extended weekend came the chance to run over to the beach to enjoy the company of family and friends.
A little raining getting over there.
But sunny enough to play a game of Bocce Ball
Even though my sister had terrific form....my team still won.
The clouds made the view very interesting.
Loved how my toenail polish made things twinkle around my feet.
Can't believe the kids got in the ocean! I was so cold.
Digging for treasure....I think.
We headed home to get cleaned up and eat some dinner. We finished just in time for the sun to set and cook smore's!
I will be coming into school tomorrow sounding like a man but physically ready to start the 12 minute fitness test.
