30 Days Of Summer +Day 1

Although I didn't get to finish my 30 days of spring, I'm starting my 30 days of Summer, in hopes I'll get to all 30. I think I can make it this time, don't you?

So here's to day 1...

At school we love playing outside, and since it's Summer, it is definitely outside weather.


This little gal just poses for me with one great pose after another. She is such a cutie.

This one takes great photos as well. She is extremely photogenic. You can see a few of her other photos I've taken here and here.

30 Days Of Spring +Day 10

This little girl is so photogenic... I really enjoy taking pictures of her, because of how well she photos.

This weekend was full of relaxing AND work. But the work was totally worth it, because I got a purse. :)
I was able to get a facial, it was fantastic. I had a chocolate mask, and it really made me want a chocolate candy bar. Speaking of candy bar, I would like one right now. :)
After I got my facial done I went into this thing called the Capsule. What happens is, you get into it and it closes down on you, somewhat like a tanning bed does, and when you turn it on it gets extremely hot in it, and the bed you lay on vibrates. And the heat is to help you sweat out toxins, and the vibration, I believe, helps you with cellulite. The place that we went for this is called Enhanced Image Med Spa, and they are located in Clarkston, MI. If your around that area you should check them out. They have many other great services.
Right now, I am hungry, but it's too late to eat anything. :( I guess I'll have to wait until the morning.

And then, of course, there is this little cutie pie. I always always always enjoy taking pictures of her. Her? Well, she is all for it.
I am now watching Desperate Housewives, so here is where I'll say...

Upside Down Day?

I guess it was upside down day, :) But that's okay, because they looked cute doing it.

I swear, we don't teach the kids how to pole dance, she did this all on her own. She had Miss Marla and I laughing. She is a hoot, I'll tell you that.

Besides kids sitting upside down and pole dancing I've been pretty busy at work. I have been coming home from work just relaxing. I don't really want to do anything other than that. Jeremy made pancakes for dinner and it was AWESOME. AND, I didn't have to cook so it was fine with me.

Since Jeremy and I are going to California I need to get shorts, so I tried to cut my pants that were floods on me and when they were long shorts they just looked to tight, but then I think I cut them a little too short. :) So we'll see, maybe if I tan enough they might work for beach wear. Maybe... we'll see

Well, I'm watching American Idol...

30 Days Of Spring +Day 9

At school, there is this one little blonde girl, she is the cutest thing ever. Especially when I caught her on the picnic table, this is what she did...

Yeah, she is adorable.
It's been so much warmer here in Michigan, which I am so excited about, because I can go outside and not wear a coat. :)
Also.... New Moon :Twilight Saga is coming out this year! WOOT... here is a trailer for that movie


Pretty exited about it and I can't wait. This is one of my favorite series of books. The author did such a great job writing it. :)
You can't tell me your not interested after watching that trailer, :)
Well, I'll catch ya'll later.
Gonna watch The Office with my wonderful husband.

30 Days Of Spring +Day 3

Take a guess on who that chick is... if you gets it's me your right! :)

The kids thought it would be FUN to grab Miss Crystal's legs and take her down. Okay... it was fun. And no one got hurt, :)

See I have no sock? They took it! But don't worry, I got it back.
Oh yeah, and I need a hair cut!

Also... I am going on a photography adventure with Briony, Tabitha, and Tab's husband Chris. I am so excited to see what we come up with. Don't worry, I'll share the photos later. :)

30 Days Of Winter +Day 28

As some of you may or may not know I have been keeping up the Learning Zone Preschool website. I have loads of fun doing it, and I am continually thinking of creative things to do with it. If you would have seen it before what it looks like now you would have thought, "OMG, this website is everywhere!" I had colors up the wazoo, ("whats a wazoo?") and things here and things there. It was literally a website mess. But looking back at that and seeing all the things I've learned and accomplished I really feel proud of myself. I'm not trying to sound conceded, believe me I'm not. I just had that epifany, and thought to share! While were here take a look at this....
Meet Rodney, He is looking for a hot chick.... pretty lady.... a woman...



This is a video Jeremy did for a Comedy Night we had at our church a few years back. It's silly, and extremely funny!

30 Days Of Winter +Day 19

At school on Monday we celebrated Dr. Suess' birthday by making some Cat In The Hat Hats...

Here is an example of the hats we made, the kids LOVED them. We also read the most famous book, The Cat In The Hat, along with the Cat In The Had Comes Back. The kids loved them both.

30 Days Of Winter +Day 17

Having a baby over night really makes me glad we're waiting a while before we have kids. Don't get me wrong, I love being with babies and taking care of them. I'm just so not ready to have one of my own. Jeremy and I had Tristan again the other night and he just did not want to go to sleep, so I got to bed at almost midnight, when I'm used to getting to bed earlier than that. BUT... once he did fall asleep he was quietly sleeping! YAY...

See... I LOVE KIDS!
I'm getting all my information together for my CDA. It's a credential (certificate) stating I can be a director of a daycare. I took my classes awhile back but now I'm ready to have my test. I have been working hard, getting all my information together, now I just have to mail it out with money, yeah, it cost me. :) Once I have my credential I go from Assistant TO THE Director to Assistant Director.

30 Days Of Winter +Day 16

I need to get crackin on my days of winter here, the spring is nearing closer and closer everyday. At least I want to think that it is. :)
I took this photo in the office, I was testing some things out, and ended up liking it. This lamp has helped us see through many a nap times! Thank you lovely green lamp!

30 Days Of Winter +Day 15

Birthday parties are so much fun, especially a 5 year old's birthday party. They are the best! We had our nephews birthday party to go to and it was at the Children Museum, never heard of it, but great place for kids. They had a whole grocery corner with miniature shopping carts, they had a restaurant where you can take peoples orders and go make some pizza in the "oven" and they had a fairy tale corner where you could dress up and pretend; it was awesome. I actually LOST Jeremy in all the excitement! I was with Baby Blue and we were playing with EVERYTHING, she was everywhere, I turn around and Jeremy is GONE! Finally someone told me he was in the dress up corner dressing up in little itty bitty kids clothes. He was cracking everyone up! I'm sure if you can picture a grown man in little kids clothes... yeah... it's funny! Gosh, I love him!

*****
Kids can find fun in the smallest of things... like pouring popcorn kernals into another cup...
or folding towels... seriously... it's fun... especially for the kids at my work. We have LOTS of fun with RUGWORK... hence the rugs.
Find the simpliest thing for you child to do and THEY WILL HAVE FUN!

Try it with your kids... keep it SIMPLE!

Compliments

I like em, you like em, we all like em. Getting compliments can really boost your self-esteem, or make your day just that much better. But when you get a compliment from a 3 year old you just think it's so cute and it makes your heart melt.

Yesterday I had one of my kids (students) ask me what a compliment was, so I told him, "It's when someone says something nice to someone else. Like, 'Your hair looks nice today' or ' I like your shirt'. " So this whole week all my kids have been showering me, and some of the parents, with compliments. It's so great to see how their faces light up after they know they just said something nice to someone else. They have even been giving each other compliments... isn't that great. When you can get a group of children to give each other compliments without being told too, you got something GOOD going on!

Remember when I went to Washington D.C. ( You can read about that HERE and see pictures from it HERE & HERE ) Here is another picture from the awesome trip! :)
I like making faces... in case you were wondering :)

I just love children...

As some of you know... I work in a daycare... and one of the best daycare's I know of. Working @ a daycare I get to hear some of the funniest things EVER. And today... was one of THOSE days.
I walk into work and the Director has an extremely funny story to tell me...

Director: Omg, I have to tell you what Stinker (Not his real name) said.

ME: *SMILING* What did he say

Director: I set up a veterinary center for the kids as they were coming in. And Stinker said as he was checking a bird, " This bird is weak, and his pecker is bad too." *Laughs*

ME: *LAUGHS LOUDLY* OMG, that is to funny! He meant his beak?

Director: YES!

So... to make sure there is NO confusion, this little guy meant the Birds beak, LOL.
