Oops, 1 Month Already.

Wow, it has been a whole month. Uhmmm let's see. School is kicking my rear end this year. I have teachers that aren't....well they are not very good at what they should be doing. So me with my spazzy pregnant brain and teachers who stink don't mix well. Not to mention the classes are squeezed into 8 week sessions instead of a full semester, so everything is soooo fast and papers are due constantly.

I have been subbing about twice a week. This hasn't been going so well either. Every time I go to Heartland Elementary, I get a teacher who leaves absolutely NOTHING for me in the classroom and I have the joy of ad-libbing. Not so bad for grader 1st-4th but if it is the older kids they do not stay interested and if it is a class that has some kind of special needs, I want stick my head out in the hallway and scream for HELP!

Collin has good days and bad days at school. Very rarely an in between day. He is very popular with the teachers and staff and they all love him. He just gets naughty a little more often than most. He is going to be tested for gifted in October and hopefully that will be a good outlet for his "creative" mischief.

Quintin is happy. He doesn't really talk still although he is improving on imitating sounds. He says bye-bye now with enthusiasm at the appropriate time. He is very lovey, social and very smart. He just doesn't talk.
It amazes me how complete opposites Collin and Quintin really are.

Baby is uhhmmmmm still a baby I guess. We are going to have another ultrasound on Monday to check on growth and all that jazz. I am excited because it will be another confirmation that it is a girl and not a "I think it's a girl."

And to finish off, here are some Collin's 5th Bday pics that I keep forgetting to post.

Geez and I thought teachers had PERFECT spelling :) Sorry the pics are so small. They downloaded funny. If you want a bigger pic, let me know.

When teachers retire they lose all ability to edit or use spell check...just a warning in advance...it's a small price to pay for a great retirement plan from ASRS! No need for bigger pix, we don't look that good!!
