Fun Wekend!

Mom, Melissa, and I went to Bellevue on Friday night to visit Mom's cousin Wendy, who is a 5th grade teacher in Issaquah. We went to her classroom on Saturday morning where Wendy shared many ideas and materials with Melissa. Wendy is a great teacher with so many creative ideas. I am sure Melissa's head was swimming with ideas!!

We got to go to our favorite - PF Changs - for lunch at Bellevue Square. So fun. So yummy!

Wendy wanted to take Melissa to the teacher supply store after lunch, so we spent some time around there. Melissa found some neat things for her classroom and got some good suggestions from Wendy of things that are needed for a beginning teacher.

We were all worn out by then and decided we'd like to spend Sunday at home, so we headed back to Connell.

We spent some time in Melissa's classroom this afternoon. Things are coming together and it looks ready for kids!! This week is going to fly by, but the beginning of school is always exciting!

Martina!


Here you go...real proof that we went to the Martina McBride concert. She is an amazing woman! My favorite part was when she sang "Hit Me With Your Best Shot!" Gotta love Martina paying tribute to the classic Pat Benetar!


I'm back to school now...made it through 1 day of Inservices today. Lots of talk of PLCs and such. I have so many better things I could be doing...oh well.


Cheer practice started on Monday - we are working hard on preparing a dance/cheer/stunt combo for the 1st Day of School and Eagle's Nest BBQ. They are looking really good and are working better together than I thought! I will be sad when the basketball girls don't practice with us anymore. :(


Mom, Melissa, and I are heading to Bellevue this weekend to spend time with Mom's cousin Wendy. She's a 5th grade teacher and has lots to share with Melissa! It should be fun!! I'm looking forward to the WEEKEND!!


Oh...by the way...tonight was Samson's third night at Obedience School. I'm not completely sold on it, but it does take a lot more at home work than I'm able to do. Samson does great though - he's such a stud. :)
