Nothing new..

Realized I had updated in awhile..but it's THAT time of year!! Getting ready to go back to school! This year I'm a mentor for 2 of the new 6th grade teachers, along with being new to 3rd grade and serving on the building leadership team. I had gotten better while the girls were much younger about NOT doing as much at school...but alas it's come around again. This week has been 2 afternoons of training/working with my mentees, 2 FULL days of learning how to use the FOSS science kits! Though they were full days I'm loving learning my new curriculum for 3rd grade! this sound unit was soo much fun! Only drawback is the 2nd week of school I have to have 2 more days of training for the other science kit we teach in 3rd grade!

County fair is in 2 weeks. Both girls will enter their quilts, Ana might cook some blondies or such, but we're not pushing it much. Both girls and me (the new and improved future girl scout leader for Karina's troop) will spend some (quite a bit) of time at the girl scout booth! Ana will have the chance to sing either Friday or Saturday on the BIG stage as part of the Junior Nashville Star. Brett has even volunteered to work the Republican booth in the one building :)

We have a little more than one week left until school starts andd I know once that happens this year will FLY!! Ana is doing soccer, both girls are taking piano lessons and doing girl scouts and I'm sure we'll find one more thing to keep them busy in the winter! :)

Have a great day..week everyone! Probaly unless i get some fantastic pictures of something..won't post until the first day of school! *sigh*

Getting ready for school....

if only school was ready for us! :) Due to the construction at the middle/high school, we are starting school 3 days later than normal. Karina's okay with it.. Ana on the other hand cannot stand that it's being delayed! She's ready and willing to start school!!

Both girls have finished their quilts. The pictures aren't the best but you'll get a general idea of what they did. I take no credit for the production of these quilts. The ladies @ Needlyn Time do wonders with 4 days of 5 hours each! Amazing!!
Ana's quilt- music themed..go figure!



Karina's quilt..doggies :)



We also just got back from 3 days @ the lake with our friends. It was perfect weather..not too hot, not too cold! Some pictures of the girls having fun!!



and of course today.. the last of the photos... Ana got her hair cut..short well not super short but shorter than it was :) Here she is :)

Not much more to say... the getting ready for school is hitting me too.. I have a meeting on Wednesday and then Tuesday-Friday the next week.. uggg it came way too soon!

Nothing Blog worthy

we are the "baum"s are boring:) We've done nothing that is really blog worth! Good news on my mom front...she is home in her own bed and loving it!! She still needs to be keeping up with the PT and exercise to keep those legs strong!

Brett played last weekend and the weekend before that in the club championship. The first weekend you have to place in the top 12 to go on. So going in as #2 he got to play this last weekend as well! Once again he came in #2...says he's so tired of being #2..someday soon I'm sure he'll be #1! :) *hugs to ya Brett*

Karina is taking the quilting class this week. She's having a bit of problem reaching the pedal easy but she's determined to finish this project! We were a bit worried she wasn't mentally/physically ready but she managed the first day well!

We go to the lake with Headleys this weekend. 2nd annual affair:) Weather should be warm but not too warm and no smoke this year for a more enjoyable experience.

School is speeding towards us. Can't believe that it is just around the corner! I spent some time in my room today while Karina was in quilting class (trying to save on gas and not drive back and forth!) Should have it all looking good soon. Ana is coming with me tomorrow so she can work on bulletin boards for me. Love that she wants to do that kinda thing :)

I'll leave you guys with an ad for the SBB August ezine! I have an article, a freebie and a layout in there!! You can buy it here at SBB! EZINE
