Bad Blogger!

Ok, ok. I know I've been a bad blogger! I have a million things to tell you about (not one of them being knit related) and not much time before I fall asleep sitting up. Today was the first day that I had my own classroom to myself. It was a little awkward at first because I, of course, do not do things exactly the same as the woman who was in there before. But, once things got rolling, we all had a good time. I'm going to try not to overwhelm you with too many pictures of everything, but I have so much to show you! :)


Here's a picture of my classroom before I spent all weekend tearing it apart. It looks A LOT different now.



This is the other side of the bulletin board area that has since changed, but I love the orange-red piano. Don't you want to be in Kindergarten again? 



And here's the back of the classroom, complete with miniature chairs and tables that come up to my shins. 



Here's the great view I have outside my classroom window. The weather has been hot but absolutely gorgeous. Can you tell? 



Here are my sister and I at Dland. We had the best time surprising Mom. 



And here's Mom with her queenly set of ears. The diamonds light up when you press a button! That was just one more added surprise to our fun day! 



This was one of the best parts of my trip down south. AJ is my nephew who just turned one. In order to get my class ready for today, I had to miss his birthday party, and I am still really sad about it. :( I'll have to wait and hope that I'll get to see it on video. 



Here's a better picture. 



AJ playing with his new toy and broom. Does this kid ever love to sweep! Don't you dare try to take away his cleaning supplies! 



After I got back, I finally got to meet Kelly! I met her on Knitter's Review, and she moved out here at the beginning of the month. We spent a great day in Santa Barbara while I showed her around a little. Our next tour will be to the local knitting shops! Anyone else want to go? 



Anyway, I've now spent far too much time in my classroom and am hoping to find a system soon that will allow me to have a life again. Is that just wishful thinking? I have a crazy week ahead of me still, so I'm going to try to keep my blog up, but I'm finding it's like exercise...the first thing to go when there's barely enough time to eat or sleep.
