I need Help...

I am doing another class project- and I could use your help!!!
I am looking for photos of families/ children doing the following activities:
- Eating a family meal together
- Playing with toys
- A child sitting in a booster seat in the car
- And a family spending time together- playing and/or interacting!

If you can go through pictures and send me a great picture you have of one of these events you would really be helping me!!!  My project is to create a family magazine!  It is a group project- one of my parts is to collect photos to be put into this magazine!!  If we win it will be put out at the preschool on campus! (Yes, the one I work for!)  The main age group I am looking for is preschool and toddler.  That would be the age group we service at the center.  Please send your photos anyways!!!  Thank you!!  I will post the ones I use and will send you a copy of my completed magazine!!!

There is a time frame here: I could really use these photos by next Tues. Oct. 4th!

Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.

Thank you Aristotle...



I am taking a Humanities class about Western Traditions and right now am learning about Aristotle...
our last class gave me something to really think about..
It was a cartoon the teacher put up to demonstrate Aristotle's thinking, which is written by an unknown author:
If you want happiness for an hour-
take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day-
go for a picnic.
If you want happiness for a week-
go on a vacation.
If you want happiness for a month-
inherit wealth.
If you want happiness for a year-
get married.
If you want happiness for a Lifetime-
Learn to LOVE what you DO!

I am learning from Aristotle- Thank you Aristotle and Thank you Humanities Class!

Back to School!

 This is Jenna and her teacher- Mrs. Draper!
She is very excited about 2nd grade!!

 This is Peyton with his 1st grade teacher- Mr. Smith.  He is excited and a little nervous!!

The first day of school- showing off the new shoes!!

 Peyton is a bit of a ham! He loves showing off!  And he sure is cute!!



They had a great first day and a good first week!!
They are meeting new friends and getting the hang of the routines!!  We have hope for a good school year!!!

My semester is not half bad either- I seem to have great proffessors and a decent schedule!! 
(If only I could understand Math and Hummanities!!!)
