Goodbye Summer

Lanie loves the park. She especially loves the swings and the big slide.
I tell Lanie "Go love Buzz" and she runs after him and hugs him. She loves it and he tolerates it, sometimes. Most of the time he just runs away.

Becky and I hiked Horsetooth in Fort Collins two weekends ago. After the 5k on that Sat and the hike on Sunday, sadly I could barely walk on Monday; pretty pathetic! I must exercise more.

Today was officially my first day as Kindergarten teacher and I have to say that I am EXHAUSTED. Those kids go none stop. Here are a few of the things that could have been heard in my classroom today:

Where is my mom?

When is my mom coming back?

When are we going home? (20 times)

Teacher, Teacher

You can call me Superman.

I have to go to the bathroom. (That one is a domino effect)

I'm hungry.

I'm thirsty.

When do we get to color?

When are we going to lunch?

Please sit down. (at least 100 times)

My cousin gave me a scratch on my arm.

I don't like The Green Goblin.

This is my light saber.

In between all of this, I did manage to get a little bit of teaching in. I predict that my eighth year is going to be my most challenging thus far.
