Who says....

Who says only the students get to have fun!

Who says the Central Office is stuffy!

Who says you have to grow up!

Who says adults in an office setting aren't creative and unique??

This is the kind of Holiday Cheer we have at Newton-Conover City Schools!!!!!

Go PACK!

This past weekend we went to Raleigh to visit my sister, bro-in-law, and nephew. We had a ball watching NC State beat Boston College!!!!!

Lots of reading was done!



We tried on the boys Halloween costumes- and Chatham was NOT a fan of the hat. So I am hoping round 2 and 3 of Chatham the pro golfer will produce better pictures. Thomas is a MIGHTY FINE dinosaur though!

What a good looking bunch! GO PACK!

I love getting together with family- and I really love how much the boys interact with each other now!

FUMC Fall Festival

Sunday was our Church Fall Festival and the weather was PERFECT!

We love spending Fall Evenings as a family outdoors.


Suzy and I got to be the twins this time!

Chatham tossed the football around before settling into the bouncy house for some fun

He and Cara loved jumping from my lap to Suzy's. They are SO sweet!

A whole plate of food (hot dogs, potato salad, brownies, pickles, and potato chips) and ALL my kid eats is TWO cobs of corn!!! HA

C loved sitting in the big boy chair too. What a little man we have on our hands!

A Day In The Life

I did this once about a year ago- and was interested to see how my daily routine has changed....

6 AM- Alarm goes off (hit snooze)
6:09- Alarm goes off (hit snooze)
6:18- Alarm goes off, get up
6:20-6:35- pee, brush teeth, take shower
6:35-6:45- get dressed, wake up Devin, dry hair
6:45-7:00- wake up Chatham, get him dressed- he plays with Devin while I straighten my hair and put on make up
7:00- leave the house- take Chatham to school and head to work
7:35- get to work, turn everything on, go get water
8:00- start actual work
11:30-12:30- go home for lunch (or go visit with Mama)
12:30- back to work
5:00- leave work, go get Chatham from school
5:30- home, make dinner, play with Chatham, catch up on Devin's day
6:30-7:00- sit down as a family to eat
7- 7:30- play with Chatham while Devin does dishes
7:30-8:15- Devin bathes and reads to Chatham while I run
8:15- put C to bed, go take a shower
8:30- Cover Chatham up one last time, get this ready for the next day
8:45-9:30ish- TV time with Devin then off to sleep

So there is A LOT more sleep time than there used to be! Also I like that we've found a happy routine to include my new love for running! Maybe I can convince myself to stay up to 10:30 (like normal people my age do) then I can get some of Chatham's 2nd year scrapbook done!
