Rockin Rogers Days

The small town I work in has a festival every year like most towns. They do a very good job. The kids I work with wanted me to come last year but I didn't.

This time I bought tickets ahead of time for the discount and committed myself to going. It was supposed to rain all day - even thunderstorm... it didn't rain once while we were there!

The parade was awesome and the kids got more candy than at any previous parade we had been to. I ran into several of "my kids" and we had a very nice time.

Cody and I discovered the "fun slide" and it was indeed very fun! We went on it twice!

the potty

Adrienne was introduced to the potty at school last week and although I feel it is really too early, I don't want to stand in her way if SHE is ready ;-) SOOOOO I bought her a potty and although she loves to sit on it, she hasn't went potty yet (not at school either) so we will see. It is there when she is ready. On a side note, her eczema is getting worse and I am not quite sure what to do about it - it is probably time for something stronger than what we have been using.

My little helper

When I picked Adrienne up from school yesterday, her teacher told me that she thought Adrienne was a very smart and caring girl. :-) She moved to the toddler room 2 weeks ago and there are up to 21 kids in her class on any given day. She has figured out whose blanket is whose and whose shoes are whose. If someone is sad or crying, she will go get their blanket and give it to them! If someone is missing a shoe, she will help them find it. My sweet girl! Just had to share!

Garage Sale

bombed... go figure ;-) My last 2 did as well but this one I placed an ad for and did not make my money back for the ad. It did help to sell Lloyd's 4 wheeler though and he has been working on his newest toy - a dune buggy. Both kids are napping now and I am finally relaxing. I sold almost all of my baby stuff on cragislist immediately after the sale! Go figure! Next time, that is definitely the answer and way easier!

A Crazy Week!

We got back from St. Louis on Monday (after spending all day at the airport on Sunday and not being able to get out). Monday started my "Summer job"... meaning I work all day and have LOTS of planning to do to keep 34 school age kids (or varying ages) busy and happy all day. I relaxed a bit today finally. ;-)

I made a slideshow of our St. Louis pictures because there were SO MANY! We had a great visit!
