Busy...

I have made a to-do list and it's over 42 items long. Some are school/work-related things I need to finish and others are home items, such as getting Brynna's costume ready for our Halloween festivities over the next two weekends. I wonder how long it will take me to get all of the items on my list accomplished...

I must say, though, I have never felt so far behind at school as I do this year. The new schedule is killing me w/ loads of paperwork, as well as the fact that the district eliminated the TA positions at all middle and high schools. It's KILLING so many of us! Our TA's save our lives every day by helping us keep above water. Ugh..I heard a rumor that we are getting them back 2nd semester. I sure hope so.

Kids: I still need to take Baylen's 7 moth photo in the next couple of days or so. His first tooth has broken through! Finally--this was making him really cranky. His issue with the "runs" cleared up on Monday. Thank goodness.

Brynna is still pushing and hitting in daycare but now she's only doing it b/c she is defending herself. She's not intentionally going up and doing it just to start something. I'm glad she's sticking up for herself, but we don't like that she's doing it by hitting and pushing. I know it's a 2-year-old thing, so we'll just keep trying to reiterate the importance of being nice and not pushing, hitting or biting others.

This weekend I'm excited for a couple of reasons: craft show on Sat. a.m. and a Halloween festival in a nearby city that we're going to take the kids to, just so they can wear their costumes one more time.
