Projects

I have so many projects going on right now that I don't have time to blog, but I wanted to record my to-do list so that in several months I can post that I have completed everything!  Once again I couldn't do any of this if I didn't have the wonderful opportunity to stay home this year.  Let's hope it continues.

1. I am typing our favorite meals on my food.com account so that I can print everything out and put it in a binder.
2. I want to scan the thousands of pictures that are at my dad's house.  I already brought home 4 albums.  I took out a family picture from 1980 and framed it.  I also framed a picture of the boys and me from September 1977.  Can't wait for Tony to add them to our picture wall.
3. I want to create a binder for PTL that lays out all the different activities in detail just in case something happens and I am unable to do these things. 
4. I also want to organize the PTL receipts and bank statements.
5. Oh and I also have the school yearbook to do.  This year I am doing everything online.  I am not doing the cut and paste method that I have done for 10 other yearbooks that I have created.  Right now it is a lot more work, but I hope the end result will be better because everything will be in color and hopefully not so blurry.
6. We also have the seemingly never ending project of finishing the basement.  I am almost done priming the concrete walls and removing all the ceiling staples.  Next will be for Tony to put up walls.

The First Day of School - 2011

Today is the start of a new school year. The girls are off to school! Alexandra is in 2nd grade and Addison is in kindergarten. I am taking the year off from teaching. I am excited to be able to spend the time with my boys. I will keep you posted on how I am handling it. Tony also has a big year ahead. Since I am staying home, he will be teaching full time as well as being the principal. Time will tell how much we will see him this year. Can only one man be an amazing teacher, principal, and father all at the same time? Let's hope so!

Asher's ready to go to school too!

Our traditional shots out in front of the school with Dad. This year the girls are using their book bags from Grandma Sally with their names embroidered on them!

Out front with the flowers. Unfortunately the flowers don't look as good as last year. Don't they look good in their school clothes. I am so glad to be back to khaki and polos. No more fighting!
