These days

I’d say these days are just about as opposite as can be. You went from an active busy two sport playing boy to a boy who will have to improve his LEGO skills. How did we get someone like you...that can hang with an injury and not complain or really cry about it. Or did you and I ignored it...I hope not! 

These days the weather hasn’t left us with an in between either. It was hotter than heck and full of mosquitos when I wanted to visit the orchards with you, to the following wet weekends and now this weekend it was 50 and snowing the next day!!

Now that I’m back to work we sure are 

Return of BASS BOY

Dad says you have a different walk...I say you have a fishing story to tell!

I’ll take any temp of coffee and I’m too tired for beer

Life is good. I have a new purpose and my family is rising to the challenge. For 6 years I haven’t worried about bedtimes, morning routines, after school routines or really much of anything. We just went with the flow and I somehow managed to feel like i haven’t accomplished much

I have the privilege to help and care for kids that aren't' my own and I love it. I love teaching now that you guys are in school and I have a comparison. I understand the boys who can't sit still, the girls who are super sweet and a role model for others. I understand the boy who is good at math and ok at writing. I understand that it's ok for some numbers to be reversed as long as you understand what you are trying to do and what strategy you are using. I understand the need to feel wanted and the importance of having a plan at recess. I understand boys and girls are trying their best and the need for brain breaks and fun! I understand not everyone is going to get it on the first try, but boy it would be nice.

I understand that teaching is more than something you can just show up to do and put together last minute. I'm ready and excited for the challenge to get a new identity back. This time I really want all students to say, Mrs. Evans is your mom? She was the best teacher!

Sweet days
