Yikes.. How is it already October?! I am obviously a little behind on posts, partly because time I have been so busy and also, some storms knocked out our internet.... making it kind of hard to post about our updates. But Thankfully we are back in the game now and enjoying the Fall season!
I still haven't forgotten about my resolutions...

September Date Fun
Even though our school routine is now normal, we are still making time for some awesome mommy/son dates and playdates!!!
One afternoon we decided to check out a candy store in Downtown Wake Forest. Of ALL the things in that store, Blake picked out the dinosaur that poops jelly beans. HAHAH! I love my little boy! We even enjoyed sitting on the bench and people watching. It was a great way to end a busy school day.
Back to School wouldn't be the same without a playdate at our friends house! We mommas are teachers and we got to vent about school while the kids played in the sprinkler and toys on the patio. We are so grateful for our amazing friends!
Finally, Blake and I decided to make slim on another afternoon! It was a fun little science experiment and Blake loved getting to slime his superheros! :)
I am so grateful for these little peaceful moments in the middle of back to work chaos! It's what keeps me going!

When I grow Up...
The other Saturday, Blake and I went to Marbles Kid Museum in Downtown Raleigh. This is a place that I have been taking Blake to since he was a little baby.
There is just so much to explore and imagine....
One day Blake might be a pirate sailing across the sea in our pirate ship....
Or a hockey player (if baseball and basketball don't work out)...
Or he might be a Chef...
Maybe a Marine Biologist....
He could always be an architect...
Or a banker...

The world is yours, kiddo.... You can be anything you want to be!
But no matter where life takes you.... you will always be my little boy!!!

Blastball Finale
With the Summer coming to an end, so is blastball...
Blake has had so much fun playing Blastball, an intro to TBall. He has really practiced hitting the ball and is great at throwing! I think he has really learned to love baseball and he will really be ready to play TBall next year!
Blake will also start playing Multi-Sports next. That is a class where he will be introduced to several sports; including tennis, basketball, and soccer. Hopefully this class will show me what other sports wants to play. Finally, in the winter Blake will play Basketball! I sure do love my little athlete!

Back 2 School
We are officially in Back To School Mode...ready or not!
Blake is starting his last year of PreK at the Kid's Educational Center. His teacher is Ms. Teisha. He loves to play in the block center and he wants to be a race car driver or a police officer when he grows up. He isn't a fan of waking up so early, but he always has a good time playing with his friends. Blake likes playing with Cody and Bella... and Hunter will be back in January.
I can't believe he will be going to kindergarten next year!!
I have also accepted some new challenges at school. I will be teaching 10th grade this year, along with my 11th grade AP class. I have only taught 10th grade one other time, so there will be lots of lesson plan adjustments for me. I will also be busy with SGA (Student Government Association). This will be my 4th year doing it and I think I have it pretty organized this year. Hard work is paying off on that one! Finally... I may or may not have a student teacher. We will see!
Back to School time always is a tough transition. Lots of transitions ahead, but I know Blake and I will both grow and learn so much. We will also REALLY look forward to the weekends! Haha.

Summer Bucket List Completed
This has probably been the best Summer I have had with Blake. They just keep getting better and better...and harder to leave. We are gonna miss our Summer together! However, I think we completed about everything on our bucketlist!
Let's recap...
Could this Summer have been any more perfect!?!?!?
