Waterpark Fun!

We actually had a nice day yesterday with beautiful sun in the morning. SO, we took the girls to Great Plains park (off of Tower and Iliff...if you have never been there...you should go soon!). Anyway, we packed some watermelon, a blanket, and sunscreen and headed out to the waterpark. The girls had a great time!

I have been out of school for two weeks already. Time sure does go fast when you want it to slow down! I have really enjoyed spending everyday with Abby. She has grown up so much. I think she really likes have me home everyday. Every morning she says, "mom, you're not going to work today?" and I tell her, "no, I am staying home with you again," and she always says "yay!!" We have just enjoyed spending time together. She has run lots of errands with me...lol We have gone to the park a few times as well. I have really enjoyed the cooler weather. It makes park days more tolerable (I am not a hot weather person!!)






I am really looking forward to my new adventure as a 1st grade teacher. I have been shopping for things for the classroom several times since school has been out. I think I may just be ready. I am trying not to think too much about school and just enjoy my vacation but I can't help it. I am so excited. I know it is going to be a lot harder than 2nd grade (just because they are still such babies!) but it should be very rewarding. I am looking forward to watching them become readers!!

Abby and Brianna started soccer yesterday. I tried to have Abby play soccer last year and she hated it. I think she was just too young. But she had so much fun this time. I think she really likes having Brianna on her team. It was so much fun watching her. There is such a feeling of parent pride when you child is on the field. I was yelling and cheering. I hope I do not turn into one of those obnoxious moms! Ok, who am I kidding...I will be!!




Unfortunaetly, we al came down with the stomach flu this weekend. Brianna was first, then Abby, and then Tiff and I. Abby actually threw up in Joanne Fabric store yesterday. It was my first time experiencing that so it was a little overwhelming. She got it everywhere! And of course she was crying and scared and I was trying to run to the bathroom before it happened again. Luckily I had my mom and Tiff with me so they could help me. Poor baby! It broke my heart watching her get sick over and over again last night. I just wanted to take it away from her! So, when I started throwing up in the middle of the night and was sick all day today, Abby took really good care of me. She kept telling me to lay down and rest. Anyway, I think the worst is over now...man I hate the stomach flu!!
