My Projects for Work

I made a giant Red Clifford for Red Ribbon week. I looked at a book and drew him. I then made paws to go around him. My next project is Oscar from the book The Hallow-Weiner. I drew a giant winniedog and we are going to use him to sequence events from the story.

Luke and School

Luke loves Holiman and his teacher. I was nervous at first for him since he has never been in a classroom with more than 6 kids. At first he was nervous too, when he didn't understand something he would get teary eyed, but his teacher would reasure him that it was okay and that she is hear to help him (soooo sweet). I don't know what will happen when he gets a yellow though. I'm sure I will hear him from my classroom. Another wonderful thing is that one of my good friends has a son who is in kindergarten and Luke goes over to her classroom to play with him. They get along so well. If we have a meeting that's close to my room or she has a meeting, the boys come and play in my room. What both boys have done: So far Luke has hurt himself by jumping off the table while we were in a staff meeting. They love to play swords with our pointers and Luke got one up the nose. He also broke 2 of mine while playing baseball with them. They have both been soaked from playing on the playground after it has rained. My favorite is that they found a dead cat on the playground. Mrs. Hollway told the boys to come in her room while the man got the cat. She thought they shouldn't see that, but both boys wanted to so they watched the man put the dead cat in a bag. They are becoming really good friends.

This Weekend

This weekend I decided to make announcements for when we find out what we are having. Instead of calling, we are going to send one of these announcements in the mail when we find out. So, be checking the mail to see what we will be having. I hope I can wait and not tell anyone, but we will see. We also finished cleaning out the room that will be for the baby. I'm a planner and like for everything to be done very neat and asap, that's why it would be impossibe for me not to find out what I am having. Just ask the girls I work with, they get a kick out of my neatness. Kevin also cleaned up the garage, not that it was a mess, but I wanted it organized for baby things and Christmas decorations (I plan on getting all the decorations down from the attic the Sunday after Halloween, I want my decorations to be up for a while). I would like to have everything done for the baby when it is born so that I won't have to do much (decorating wise, I know we will be super busy) when it arrives. I think it's going to drive Kevin crazy, but I told him that he will be glad when we have everything done. We find out next Wednesday what we are having and then my mom and I are going to Austin that weekend to go shopping.

A boy or girl?

We will find out what we are having on Wednesday, November 5th. I can't wait much longer.

3rd Doctor Appt.

We had our 3rd dr. appt. today and Kevin was able to go. It was the quickest for sure. I gained 1 pound since last month. Everything looked good. The baby's heartbeat was 158. For dinner we ate at Mr. Gatti's for Luke's school. Luke loves school and really likes his teacher.

New Books

We got the baby 3 new books. They are so cute!

One of my friends is Pregnant

One of my friends who teaches first grade with me just found out she is pregnant. It is going to be a fun year. She is due May 13 and I'm due April 5.

Sunday

Kevin had a bowling tournament in Lubbock so Luke and I decided to go to the pumpkin patch to get a pumpkin. He didn't want to carve a jack-o-lantern, instead he wanted to do "Mr. Potato Head" pumpkin. I found these push ins at Wal Mart, they turned out cute. We also decorated our front door too. Here are some pics.

Boy or Girl?

My third Dr. appt. is October 20. My doctor said 2 weeks after that we will find out what we are having. One of my friends looked at this Baby Gender Predictor and Survey Base on an ancient Chinese Statistic Chart online and according to it we are having a girl.

Saturday

Luke stayed the night with his dad last night and came home this evening. This morning Kevin went dove hunting and shot enough for dinner. While he was hunting, I decided to try to make pinto beans (my favorite). They turned out very good! When Kevin got back we went to Expecting a store downtown and I got this shirt. As we were driving back home we decided to cook the dove. We went to walmart and got jalopones and bacon to wrap them in. They were yummy! I am also learning the game of football. I've been asking Kevin so many questions during the games. Oh, yesterday after work I was craving fried pickles. Kevin and I tried to make them. They were okay, we've never had them before so wasn't sure how they were suppose to taste.

Burn

I burned my arm on the oven door when I was taking peppers out.
