Goodbye Summer.

Well, Irene has been gone for a while now and I've still not finished the blog I promised I would write.  I have no aftermath pictures because all-in-all...we had no aftermath.  Unless you wanted to look at a few leaves in our yard, there were no pictures to take.  I am glad to say we never lost power--a few flickers scared me but we were super lucky to have faired like we did in Irene!

It's sad to say--this is my official last day of Summer.  Ready or not--those kiddies are coming TOMORROW!  I can't believe it's already time for them to come.  I guess I have all day to get my life back in the swing of things.  Classroom looks ready--big question is..am I?  I guess the easy way to answer this question is I'm ready as I'll ever be.  Bring on the school year--I'm ready for the excitement and the challenges!!

I am going to try to keep the blog updated but as we always know--it's so easy to get tied up into the life as a teacher that at times the rest of our lives get put on hold.  I'm still learning the balance between school work and life and I hope to master it this school year.  Until next time..I'll be "diving into Kindergarten" with lots of young minds to moldddd.

I'll leave you with a few pictures from my last weekend of summerrrr:

 Great night with great friends. 

Goodbye summer.
