Riding it out...

Well, it looks as though Gustav will be here tomorrow. It could arrive anywhere between tomorrow morning and tomorrow night. Justin has made the decision for us to stay here (notice I said Justin). It's not that I'm scared of the storm, I'm just not looking forward to being out of electricity! I know Anna will go insane. I'm not too worried about Jay though. He will play lights/air or no lights/air. The air went out last week and we kept the lights off to keep the house cooler. Jay did not seem to mind one bit.
I think we are prepared, hopefully I won't be proved wrong. I went to the store and got enough formula, diapers, and wipes to last 2 weeks. I bought bottled and gallon water, canned veggies and fruit, breakfast bars, bread, sandwhich meat, batteries, tylenol, paper cups, toilet paper, and paper towels.
Now that I've filled you in on my grocery list feel free to let me know what I've forgotten. :)
As soon as this place is back to normal, I'll fill you in on the fun we have!!

Back in the swing...

School has offically started! I had to report today and the students will start Friday. I am not ready for summer to be over! It seems like just a few weeks ago we were telling the bus drivers "MOVE THAT BUS"!
We actually have our first two weeks lessons planned but I have a long way to go before my room is ready. I decided to rearrange my classroom and decorate big time this year. Hopefully I will have it finished by Friday when the kids arrive. If not, they will be looking at half done bulletin boards for a few days.

For those of you who have been waiting for pictures here are few that Justin's granddad sent to me that he took the last time we were up there. Hopefully I will figure out my new camera and how to download the pictures soon!

This is a picture of Anna putting on make up. Anna just LOVES SueSue's dressing table and the fact that she will let her play in all of her neat stuff!

Jay seeing what all he can get away with!
