So, I was excited to see this test on the Sweet Shoppe Blog Quizzer. I have always loved to type! I am much faster on a regular keyboard than a laptop. Here is my keyboard score:

From Our Blog To Yours 9/18
I'm playing along with a Sweet Shoppe Design Blog Challenge. It was to take a quiz "Could You be a Vampire?"
| You Could Be a Vampire... If You Had To |
 Living forever doesn't sound half bad, if you could live forever with the people you love the most. But do vampires even love? And would the vampire version of you even be you? It's all too much to contemplate. Luckily, the chances of you ever becoming a vampire are astronomically low. What you would like best about being a vampire: Living forever What you would like least about being a vampire: Blood stained teeth |

Gotta Play Catch Up!
Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. Life's been crazy busy -- imagine that! I've been lining up volunteers for Colby's classroom, making an "All About Me" poster for Chandler, and volunteering in Shyann's class Wednesday afternoons for an hour. I must say I LOOOOVE Uniforms! (So do the kids)
Colby's teacher asked me to find parent volunteers who would be willing to come in and talk to his class about different countries they've lived in or visited. That's been pretty fun. I had a mom who works at Clearfield Job Corp who was able to bring a group of boys in from the Marshall Islands. They did a dance for the 6th grade. It was great! My new niece was able to come and talk to his classroom about Australia. And another mom was able to talk about the places she lived in Mexico. He has asked me to continue finding parents through the end of October now.
Chandler's been busy with a few projects. One fun report he had to do was called "Shoe and Tell". I plan to make a scrapbook page about it because it was so cute. It was a report where the shoe had to talk about Chandler and the things they've done. Then his "All about me" poster was a research thing. We had to find out newspaper headlines and other information from the day he was born. Surprisingly, not all headlines were about Y2K.
Shyann's class has been easy, reading with kids. The class captain had scheduled me for every week, but I'd only asked for the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays. When she scheduled me for each week, I was ok with it because I hadn't heard from Shelby's class captain. THis past week I finally heard back from her so I talked to Shyann's teacher and told her I'd only be able to help out every other week. She was so ok with it!
This last week and the week before, my friend, Kayla, invited me to come over and scrapbook. It's great because I get two pages done each time. I'll post some layouts later.
Well lots more is happening, but I've got to upload some photos

First Day of School!
The moment has come... all my kiddos are in school full-time. It was actually a very sad moment for me Sunday night, but it's all good now. Yeah, I know school actually started on Aug 25 and you'd think I'd have time galore to keep up with the blog. However, I have had a line up of projects that needed done; a pantry to organize, a fridge to scrub, volunteer work to organize, etc.
This year we decided the kids needed a change of schools. Chandler had the opportunity to attend a Spectrum school and the other 3 were accepted to a Charter school.
Shelby is so excited to be in the 1st grade. I separated her and Shyann this year. She likes her teacher, Mrs. Moss (who's from Spain and is teaching them Spanish), and since she's a social butterfly hasn't had a problem making friends. She thinks it's pretty cool that she has a lunch box, but was way excited about Pizza Hut Day on Wednesday. The charter school has uniforms (awesome), but still has fun deciding what to wear and how her hair will be done. She gets to decide what she wants to wear after school and still comes up with her wonderful fashions.

Shelby, age 6, 1st grade

Shyann, age 6, 1st grade
Shyann is having a great time in 1st grade, too. She thinks it's pretty neat that she gets to eat lunch at the school. She's not much of a lunch eater so for the first couple of days her sandwiches ended up coming home with her so now she has a more simplified lunch. She really likes her teacher, Mrs. Broceno, who will teach them some Spanish. There's a little girl from our ward in her class and they have since become good friends.
Chandler, age 8, 3rd grade
Chandler struggled this year about going to a different school. He was excited that he was going to learn more and in different ways, but worried about the loss of friends. He's made up for it! He loves sports and most shirts he's worn so far have some sports something on them. He just joined a "running club" at his school and is really excited about this. They do it during recesses and a few minutes before school gets out. They can walk if they want, but of course, he's excited to see how long he can run. Today he just did a "shoe and tell" report. He had to report like the shoe was talking and give some info about himself, it was cute.
Colby, age 11, 6th grade
Colby is so excited about being in 6th grade. The charter school made a wing on their new Junior High building for the 5th and 6th graders. He has a great teacher, Mr. Alarcon, who is from Spain. He was so happy to find out they were getting lockers this year. He can't wait to learn Spanish. He came home and already had a few sentences he had to say to us. He's had some interesting things that he's had to do. He's going to have a fun year and I think this change of schools was the best thing for him so far.
The happy crew (just as their ride pulled up).
I sure hope you kiddos have a great year! Good luck!!!
