It's not easy being green...

So, our dryer broke the other day. Michael was out of town and didn't get back until the weekend, and I forgot to tell him until Friday night that the dryer was broken...oops! My Saturday was spent washing clothes in the washer and then randomly hanging them around the house and outside.

It was going well until it started to rain Saturday night. I was okay with hanging and laying all of the "colored" clothes outside but I had planned to take the "whites" to a friend's house. I forgot, and I was not okay to hang those out randomly on the porch. I would've taken a picture of all the "whites" strung out all over our kitchen cupboards, laundry room and anywhere I could find a place, if it wouldn't have been so sacreligious. Thankfully though, Michael and I did get them all cleaned up before Monday morning when our sitter came.

First Day(s) of School

The start of this school year has been a little crazy. I am in the midst of finishing my degree in Elementary Ed, and so I am doing my student teaching right now. Little did I realize that in doing so, I would totally miss all of the firsts for my kids this school year. Totally missed "Meet Your Teacher," I was at my school's "Meet Your Teacher;" totally missed the first day of school photo ops too. I barely was able to help Sydney fix her hair before I had to leave. It's been really hard, I'm glad for the experience but my timing is a little off.

Thankfully my friend Angela snapped a picture of Sydney getting off the school bus on the first day. Sydney has to go to her house because I have to stay at my school for an hour or so. =( I don't know what I would do without Angela!

Noah just started middle school this year. And the poor boy actually had to ride his bike on the first day and he said that when he went in the lunchroom and the administrators told the parents to say their final good-bye's that he looked around and there was no one for him to say good-bye to. He was a little sad. I was a little sad for him.

We have survived and thanks to Angela, Ms. Kim and Michael we finally got some first week of school pictures. A big thank you to them and Michael for making all of this craziness work!
