All about Anistin

I was told that I do not have enough pictures of Anistin Grace.  Here are few to satisfy some unhappy followers:)  For now, at least!

Anistin loves to swim.  She has discovered that with goggles, she can see underwater.  You will very seldom see her without her goggles.  Even if they are not becoming on her!


Anistin has become quite the brave swimmer.  Now she does have a float, but she is getting better with her moves and techniques.  Here she running and jumping in the pool.
As she is running, she is saying cannon ball!

We were headed to lunch when for no reason Anistin decided that she was unhappy in the car and that talking and music was not enough.  I found this neat (free) Toys Story App.  It reads the story to you and has some other cool features too.  This gave Anistin some peace and the rest of us some quiet!

Working in my classroom



Our school's theme is teamwork this year.  Megan, a friend of mine, created these awesome pictures to help me make this year a grand slam.  My sister-n-law, Amanda, helped and is responsible for my cute cushions on the crates below.  I still have a few things to do, but so far, I am moving in the right direction with the help from some amazing people.  I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life!

My all-stars will enter here.
This is what is in my hallway....the students will score every time!
My reading area - I bought some really cute green rugs from IKEA to go here.  They will get there soon!:)

This year instead of bean bags, I will use crates with decorative cushions. 

I still have some work to do, but for now, I am enjoying what I have so far.  School will be here before I know it.  I am really excited this year because my son will be attending the same school where I'll be.  It was a tough decision to leave our old school, but God continues to guide us and He will never lead us astray:)
