School Daze

The last week hasn’t been any less of a blur than the 3 before. Training started last Thursday and is getting me kind of used to the schedule because we have gone 8:00-3:00. I’m still finishing up the last 4 real estate deals I have going too, so it’s been a little crazy! Tomorrow all Bossier teachers are back and reality hits Thursday when the kids come. We had Meet the Teacher yesterday and I was so nervous, but it went well! 

I’m going to be teaching 168 6th graders over 6 classes so please pray for me! I will say the school, district and parents have already spoiled me with meals and gifts and I feel like I’ve got lots of support.

Matt took Katie to meet hers and she likes her teachers, but didn’t know anyone in her class. She’s in all AP this year so it’s different from the group she had, but I know she’ll make friends again quickly. 

The last weekend of summer was fun too. I had a girls night with some friends, the girls had some friends over to swim and they played board games, and we went and got our nails done. Priorities! 😉

Extracurriculars are in full swing with pep squad camp last week to learn all the football cheers. Katie is officially a GOLD level at Gymnastics and tonight is her first class doing that. Lillian had her freshman orientation today and got her schedule (She and Koy have a class together for the first time since 6th grade so they are excited).


The girls will be home alone until about 4 o’clock Tuesday and Wednesday and will spend their last two days of summer just vegging out (which is probably exactly what they want to do), but my mom guilt is getting to me because those days were usually reserved for lots of fun. But the whole summer has been great and I’m excited for this change!

Summertime!

Yesterday was Bossier’s last day of school, but we’ve been in summer mode since they got done LEAP testing a couple of weeks ago. It’s honestly so dumb that they had 10 days of school after testing because they did NOTHING. There was a whole lot of movie watching and playing on computers. On top of the fact that grades were due over a week ago, so it’s not like there was much they could have done. We stayed out on school nights, had pool days and skipped half days to hang with Pops, or friends or just to bake.  Katie had her awards and field day last Wednesday. She ended the year with Straight A’s and a member of National Honor Society. It was so fun to watch her compete in field day events and get to meet some more of her school friends too I checked Katie, Madison and Britney out of school when it was over, and they spent the afternoon in the pool and then we all (with Koy and Lil) went to Josie’s Tball game that night. It was the second one we’d been to in a week and I swear it’s th

I think someone may be a little spoiled....

  So Lilli has been sick the last two days with a croup cough.  She's had fever and the cough has been nasty so Mom has been making her stay in.  I think she is getting a little stir crazy and decided what she wanted to do instead.  It started when I told her we were going to see Yaya for lunch tomorrow.  Yaya is being so sweet and going to entertain her for a bit while I get my hair cut and then we'll grab some lunch.  I know someone that will be excited to get out of the house but especially to see her Yaya!

For Christmas last year, Pops and Honey gave his 3 daughters and 4 granddaughters a weekend at a “dude ranch” for a gift. We picked the weekend because it was Anna and Piper’s spring break and it’s harder for Anna to miss school as a Junior than the other 3. The weather couldn’t have been anymore perfect and the timing worked out perfectly for us to celebrate Allie’s 40th birthday on the 4th too. They came in Thursday and Matt grilled steaks for her actual bday. I didn’t get one picture that night but it was a nice evening. The next morning, we got up and drove to El Dorado to the ranch. It was the “rancher’s experience” and we got in 3 rides, plus the kids got to help care for all the animals Dad has his own cabin and all 7 girls were in a bunk room together. After we were settled, we went to catch the horses in a field to take them to the stable to be saddled  The wranglers were very patient considering there were 8 of us and none knew how to help very much. But there was lots of tim
