We attended Orientation Day for our co-op and lots of things have changed :( But thankfully I attended the Parent Meeting last Thursday so I new that change was in the air...(and not just a new building)....and through God's wisdom I was able to prepare my kids in a way that made yesterday work for each one of them. Thank You Jesus!

When we got home yesterday I went through each and every supply list for my kids and then I started on dinner ~ as I was cooking my phone rang and it was my friend who also happens to be our Pastor's wife and the Commander of Awana at our church, I'm one of the Directors. She had some new info & changes for me since tomorrow is our 1st Awana night of the year.

Wow I thought to myself when I got off the phone......I'M GETTIN' BUSY......deep breathe.....

Everything is in full gear - I'm teaching 3 classes at co-op this year (well actually 2 because 1st hour I'm in the Nursery) and I'm heading up Cubbies in Awana and all my kids are into their school studies!

Field Trips are coming out of the woodwork ~ this year is going to be FUN!!!

I've had my first bought with a grumpy attitude from one of our kids this school year and I'm not too thrilled about it. Added to that I woke up before 4 this morning with an absolutely painful sore throat - so I made a cup of tea and tried to rest ~ of course once I was awake I was awake -- feelin' it now but such is life -- and then Elijah must've heard me up so he got up a few minutes after 6, Praise that he is finally down peacefully sleeping. I was able to school Luke & Isaiah this morning ~ a little bit with Sis and Noah did some online Phonics over at Starfall! We haven't ventured through the entire site but he LOVES #2 which is their 'Learn To Read' button!!!

I have about 2 hours before I'm off to the doctor's for my check-up (blah) so I should go and finish up school with Ashley and get some school done with Noah.

Isaiah is doing awesome being a soccer ref ~ he's anxiously awaiting his first paycheck which I think should be here next week.

Noah's reading is coming along great! It's so fun to have a Kindergartener!!! Everything's so simple & exciting!

Luke is doing great ~ he enjoys his studies, especially Literature and is anxious to start AWANA!!!

Ashley is glad to be back at Co-op & to start up Awana!!! She is in a big class for science this year but extremely thankful that she knows her Table Leader!

Elijah is awesome! He's a busy 2 year old * but what 2 year old isn't!!! He is talking more and we are starting to work on the wonderful life lesson of sharing!

Busy * Busy * Busy
