Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!! Josh got his braces, so he did not go out this year, but he had fun handing out candy here at the house. I decorated the house for Thanksgiving while he was handing out candy.
Well, like I said Josh got his braces. They are only on the front four teeth for now. They hurt him a couple of days after he got them on, but he is doing fine now.
Molly got her operation this past week...she was spayed. She is doing great. I was so worried about her, but she has done great.
Thursday night was Family Literacy Night at the preschool. It was fun, I am going to post a picture of me reading.

There were four of us reading. They were girls from my class at the college. We had to do this for our class, but it was so much fun!! We had two groups reading, so you see the side I was on in the picture, then on the other side of the room were two more girls reading to kids. At the end we did a leaf activity with the kids and it was a blast.
I am working on a lesson plan for my practicum class now. I am supposed to teach vocabulary from the Pledge of Allegiance. How boring right? This is what the teacher wanted me to teach. I didn't really get to chose. Well, I found a book...the same author as Brown Bear, Brown Bear...it is called I Pledge Allegiance. I am going to read that and talk about the vocabulary with that book. I think that will be more fun that the worksheet the teacher wanted me to use. I do not care for worksheets, they are boring. I will be done with the practicum right before Thanksgiving Break and then we go back to our classroom for lecture.
That is what has been going on. I am totally covered up with homework, so I do not have a lot of time to do anything. I hop on facebook and mess around when I have some extra time, but that is about it.
I better get going. I hope you are all doing great!!

resting...

Josh's orthodontist appointment went well. The doctor said his palate has moved the amount he had hoped it would at this point and they told me to keep turning the key on his expander to expand it and they will check him in 2 weeks.
I also got the curtains washed at the preschool and my bus driver called, so I think we are all set for school to start. I am really excited to get started this year. Our director has made some changes and if she doesn't change her mind, they will be good changes and it will make my day much better, less exhausting. The classes will start earlier and end earlier, so that will give me more time at the end of the day to do lesson plans. I will learn more at the staff meeting, but I am excited.
Today I am planning on doing nothing. I do not have any plans to be anywhere. I will visit blogs and do what I want. I want this to be a day off and just enjoy before I go back to work.
Ok, so I started using this hair product, it is moroccan oil. Well, it is not the actual moroccan oil, but Argan oil. Have you used it? It takes the frizz out of my hair and makes it looks shiny. I love it. I work with a lady that got some for me at State Beauty Supply, but they have some at Sally Beauty a lot cheaper. I love it, let me know if you have heard of it, or use it. I have this crazy naturally curly hair though, so I have to put stuff in it so it isn't frizzy. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you.
Have a great day!!

orthodontist visit...

Josh and I stayed in yesterday because I had a little sunburn. I got the bedding washed....sheets and blankets and I also washed the curtains. I needed to get that done because once school starts, I will be tired and busy. I also ran the new vacuum again. It is fun just to see what it picks up from the floor. We also got Josh's schedule for this year for school. It will be a busy day for him. I also had some online training....(videos) to watch for work, so I watched those while the laundry was going. It was about 2 hours of training on bullying, substance abuse, child abuse and technology dangers.
Today Josh goes back to the orthodontist to see if his expanders are doing what they are supposed to be doing. They told me last time they would do an x-ray and then probably tell me to continue turning the key to tighten his expander. We can handle that.
When we get done at the orthodontist, I need to get the curtains from the preschool and get those washed up.
Have a wonderful day!!

swimming, silly dogs, new vacuum

I got Josh's closet cleaned out Friday and if you are on facebook, you heard the story, but we were cleaning the drawers, so we had underwear and socks out that were too small and they were laying on the floor. The next thing I know Mandy is in there and grabs a pair of socks and then comes back and grabs some underwear. Well, Josh and I kept going with trying on clothes. Josh goes to check on the dogs and he is like "oh my gosh"..."you have to come see this". I come out of the bedroom and here is Molly with the pair of underwear around her neck. It was funny. Here is the picture. I couldn't believe it.
Saturday I went swimming and Josh and Karl played golf. Sunday we went to church and the to Lowe's and got a new vacuum and area rug. We got a Dyson Ball animal vacuum. Have you seen those? I didn't get a picture from online, but it is wonderful, and the junk it picked up from the carpet was gross. We also got an area rug for our living room. I do not have a full picture of it, just one of Mandy sitting on it, but you will get the idea. We have a chocolate brown couch and chair, so it looks nice. Well, we like it anyway.
Monday Josh and I went swimming and I did some laundry. I also called the parents for my preschool kiddos to let them know when school starts.
Today, I was planning to swim again, but I got a little pink yesterday, so we will probably stay in and swim later in the week. It is another hot week near 100º. I will visit blogs today. Josh goes back to the Ortodontist on Wednesday.
I got some more cute siggies from Judy!!

busy week ahead...

I haven't been up to much. I finished my 5-10 page paper on Saturday. Karl and Josh went golfing, so I worked on it and got it finished while they were gone. I started working on it Friday night, so that helped.
I had some stomach problems Sunday, so we didn't go to church. I am doing better now. That is why I haven't posted though, I haven't felt well.
Monday I got the laundry done and Josh and I just hung out all day. He is with my parents so I can go to my class today. He will be back this evening.
We have a lot going on this week. Today is class, tomorrow I take Josh to the orthodontist to get his bands put on for his spacers...he gets those next week. Thursday is class again and Friday Molly goes to the vet for her last round of shots. I also need to work on my Final which is due next week. WOO-HOO!! I will be glad when this class is over. I cannot wait until I do not have to go to summer school anymore. For those of you who do not know, I have 2 years of school left, actually a little less, but I will go to summer school next summer and that will be the last summer.
I better get going. Have a great day!!

class day

I took Josh to the Orthodontist yesterday and basically they told us what they had previously told us, that they would start with an appliance that will spread out the teeth..a spacer that will fit in the top of his mouth and also one on the bottom, and that will stay on for a while, then they will put on his braces. I will keep you posted as things happen because I am not sure what all of these appliances are called etc. Then we went to the vet and picked up Molly's flea medicine. She needs more this weekend.
Today I go to class and turn in tons of homework. It kind of makes me nervous turning in so many things like this at once. This class is kind of confusing...well not clear anyway as to how things are to be done. Hopefully everything is fine.
Well, I better get going . Have a nice day!!

Orthodontist, vet, homework...

Today Josh has to go to the Orthodontist, it is a consultation visit to let us know exactly what their plan is, so I am not sure how long that will take. Then I need to go to the vet and pick up Molly's flea medicine, they were out when we went last time. Then I guess Josh is going to stay the night with his cousin and go swimming on Thursday. I also need to make sure all of my homework is finished and ready to turn in tomorrow.
I will be by to visit at some point today. Have a wonderful day!!
