Daycare Expansion

Well, at the risk of completely losing my mind, we've decided to expand the daycare. Since a dear family friend owes me from a car loan I gave him, he's going to pay back part in building some custom playhouses for the back yard. Here's the pics I took to give him a starting "idea" I love how it looks like giant brio blocks. So we're looking for a larger house, to expand the daycare, while I use the next 2 years to finish up my degree.

been really slacking

Ok it's been ages since my last posts. Been busy with college and teaching, but I will try for a weekly or bi-weekly post. Here's a pick from legoland a few weeks back.

pics

For some reason I haven't been able to get pics to load in my last two pics, here's the ones from the B&B website, which seems that they will load for us.

Back to school night

Tonight is back to school night for the kid's charter school, so I'm printing out pages of reports etc. I'm still adjusting to a full 5 class courseload, and teaching the kids too, I know it sounds nuts, and it may be, but it helps to keep focused on the results. The town we want to move to, has a good school, with small classes, and I think Evan may do well there.
Here's some pics of where we stayed on vacation, I'll be adding some in fall & winter as we're going to spend more time up there this year, they have 4 seasons unlike the 9 month summer we get here.

Back to our groove

The days in the mountains were lovely, it was part vacation and part business trip (you better believe I'm taking it off my taxes). The town we stayed in is lovely, and without a preschool, there's a single school for all grades k-12, and no preschool. It's also been voted in America's top 25 art town for the last 17 years, and there's a lot of artsy-hippee types in town. It was wonderful. So I think we've found the place,and I have the energy, now I can attack my next round of classes. Soon as I find that blasted memory card I'll upload some photos of the town.
