House Hunting...

Image
We are currently trying to get this home! We are unfortunately having problems getting ahold of the owners. Its a beautiful home and is newly remodeled. Its right around the corner to where my moms lives and is in the same city that Jaime works in, and the school that Megan goes to, which is why this home is our first choice. Im praying hard we get this house. Ive always been in love with it.

Halloween Crafts

 I love Halloween. Its the one time of the year you can be any one you want to be.  I have to admit though sometimes people go over and beyond with Halloween. There are some neighbors around the corner that have some pretty scary houses.We have one or two decorations this year.  I always like to make some crafts during Halloween and we finally had some time to do them with Jaime. We bought about 2 pounds worth of construction paper and began to make some Halloween crafts. I went online and googled Halloween crafts for kids and so many images came up. It was such a fun little thing to do with the two of them:) Have you done any crafts with your children? I did some other crafts but they didnt come out so great.   This weekend I will be making some little Halloween treats for my students and for Megan's classmates. I think I am going to be tired at the end of the day but it will be worth it. I still have to find the last part to my costume but it's not going to be a

This Weekend I....

  This weekend was kind of uneventful and was a pretty low key. Jaime had to work a couple of those days, so Megan and I decided to spend the weekend at my mom and dads house. I went to class Saturday morning and found out I got a 90 on my Mid-term!! Woohoo! I worked really hard for that grade. I studies for 5 days straight and tested myself everyday to see what else I missed. So it was a really good morning so far. Afterwards I went to my moms because Megan had spent the night over.  We decided to go to the movies to watch Brave, Or as Megan calls it, "Red". She calls it "Red" because of her Red hair.I love that movie it's the cutest. We had seen it before but it was nice to see it again. Megan fell asleep the last 15 minutes of it. Megan LOVES the movie Hotel Transylvania and when we saw the cardboard characters at the movies Megan wanted to take a pictures with them. Megan has been asking for some new dolls almost every weekend. She's const

Can it be December already?

Hello bloggers, I know I have not posted here in awhile. I'm honestly not keeping count how many days or weeks because geez life is just speeding, which I am not complaining but I have not been able to breath. I have said before that I can not wait till the end of November, when there is no more school till January. I will be reading books and catching up on some Netflix shows.  So I just wanted to pop in and say hi and let you all know what I have been up to. I will say though, we may be moving once again. I know, its terrible but this time we are looking for a house, not an apartment complex. The problem is actually finding the house. We just started two days ago and have not found a good one.We did find one, that is around the corner to my moms house, but the people have not answered their phone calls. For now we are just looking, by December we should have found something already. Sisters 20th Birthday Last weekend was my sisters 20th Birthday and we celebrated at Roadhou

Well it's official...

I am dead tired from a day of doing a lesson, fire alarms and observing. I am so tired...I think tired is an understatement though. Oh my god how I'm tired. This is just one full day...I can't even imagine doing this day in and day out.. I think it had more to do on the shoes I wore. Never again will I wear heel unless it's a Monday. I dont have much to blog about except that Im so exhausted. I will write about how my observation went with my field supervisor and how things are going to my mentor teachers another day. Here is a little pictures of Megan. We were doing some picture taking at home.

Life of a parent

Image
(Written 10/2/12)I watch the show Parenthood, and this past week there was an episode that made me think about the discussion I would have with Megan regarding about life. Such as race,gay marriage/love and other discussions. I also started to think about the kind of things I said I would never do that I do now. When I became a parent, I was so scared, as Im sure most of us were with our first child. I remember promising myself that I would do certain things, and that I would spend as much as I could with her so I would not miss a thing. I think one of the biggest things for me to teach her was to be a good person. I think I am a good person but that just me, I cant say that the man upstairs would say the same thing. What I mean is I dont steal, I would not tell horrible things to a complete stranger, I will always try to do the rights thing, i will not hurt someone to get further. I know who I am and I always believed being a good person earns more respect than a person who is mea

Weekend Recap

  All of last week Jaime and I planned to visit a museum that I had to visit for a Cultural arts assignment. I thought that It would also be a great idea to take Megan with us to see all the pretty dresses. I had a pamphlet with me and I realized that The Children's Museum was right next door "The Costumes of America"(which was the museum we wanted to originally see).Megan had a really good time, and was a little reluctant to leave but who can blame her its a room filled with imagination potential. She was a Dentist, a news caster, contrustion worker, she grocery shopped. I mean who would not want to be there all day:) She didnt like The costumes of America all that much but I liked it and it was really amazing to see different dresses. The dresses reminded me of my grandma, I think it's a memory of when I was a little girl and it's not crystal clear but I remember the dress she wore long ago when she used to take care of me. That night Megan staye
