Meet the Teacher

You might remember last Spring, Sugar Bear and I had a wish. We were so very thrilled when it all worked out, and Sugar was set to start at a new school this fall. We have anxiously awaited the beginning of this new journey, and last week....it was here. :) Monday night, we attended "meet the teacher" night, and it was so wonderful. It was just what Sugar needed to feel comfortable, and ready to go. We met her teacher, and she got to see the classroom, and pick a table to sit at on her first week of school.

She was very excited, and interested in everything that anyone else was doing. That's my girl. She is a what I call a "looky Lu!" She gets distracted pretty easily. She is a visual learner, so you'll often find her watching....and taking it all in.

She seemed to really like her classroom, even though it is painted in her least favorite color. My girl is NOT a fan of pink. She tolerates it...but would never pick it. A lot of the stuff was covered with sheets in hopes to keep some things a surprise for the first day. It added a bit of mystery. Sugar liked that.

I love this shot of the back of her head. She is playing with her hair, and watching everything around her. There was a little friend whom we hadn't seen in over a year that just took right to Sugar Bear and they chose to sit by each other on the first day.

All in all...it was a great evening. As you can see.....Sugar Bear just plain enjoyed it, and as all smiles. We are both so very thrilled with this wonderfully welcoming atmosphere.

Here's to a rockin' awesome First Grade Year!!!!

Week 48

August 22nd was the beginning of Sugar Bear's last week of summer vacation. We really wanted to make the most of it. She had spent the weekend with my parents, and I picked her up after work, and we had a fun stop at Wendy's for a frosty. Gosh we love frosties.....♥.

August 23rd I took my camera to Sugar's daycare after work. The Kiddos loved hamming it up for the fisheye lens. :) I just know Sugar is going to cherish these photos, as this was her last week at her daycare for the foreseeable future.

August 24th was the beginning of another journey. As you can see in the collage....I'm back to Weight Watchers. It works....it really does, and I wouldn't be back where I am if I hadn't let some really lame stuff give me an excuse for ignoring my health. I'm done putting food first. It's time I put ME first. Can't say, I won't miss eating whatever the heck I want...when I want...but I can say that I won't miss feeling uncomfortable in my own skin.

August 25th didn't bring anything out of the ordinary. Sugar Bear had some fun out on the deck with some bubbles in the early evening. Gosh we are gonna miss these summer nights. Fall is coming in fast. It is getting dark earlier and earlier.

August 26th I dropping The Sugar off at her aunt's house before work. She was OVERDUE for a hair cut. Aunt A took care of that. Here is the before picture. I love what the sun does to her hair in the summer. It is so pretty.

August 27th marked my first foray into "ladies night" with some really great new friends. I had so much fun. 6 hours of adult conversation. What's not to love?????? This is my lemon water....I love how the light shines through it. Earlier that day, I had the opportunity to volunteer at Sugar Bear's new school in an effort to help them get prepared for the new year. It was lovely getting to know her teacher, and feeling proactive. It really built up some excitement for the new year.

August 28th was a quiet day at home. I enjoyed watching a grey squirrel eat some nuts in our backyard. I love that we have nature all around us. ♥

Life is good!
