This butterfly was huge and hung around the lantana for quite a while! It let us all get so close and didn't even to seem to care we were watching him! Thought I'd share a picture of it!
So, it's been a pretty slow week, and I don't mean slow as in we haven't had much going on....I mean, slow as in recooperating from our long Disney trip. I think we have JUST gotten back into some of our "normal" routines. The cabinets/refrigerator are re-stocked with groceries, we've seen lots of the people we missed while we were gone, I'm right back in full force with my school work, and Roger's back at work (BOO!)...so "our normal" has begun again! Oh, and...Austin has started football this week! I am proud to say that he actually looks pretty good out there this year! Him playing last year has certainly helped him for this year! He even likes it more because of what he knows! Hopefully it will be a very good season for him! His first game is August 10th (Sportarama)!
Another exciting tidbit for this week is Austin got his guitar yesterday. He decided earlier in the summer that he really wanted to learn to play and wanted one for his birthday. After playing with different kinds and having a few informal lessons on them all he decided he liked the acoustic guitars best. So, we went yesterday and had him fitted for one, and decided to go ahead and get it for him and not make him wait. His birthday isn't for a couple weeks, but we thought it would be better for him to have it now so he'd have more time this summer to learn and get used to playing it. He's loving it so far! He's also going to begin piano lessons when school starts. It will give him something to do while he waits for me to finish things up in my classroom, and it will help with reading music. Maybe with these instruments I can avoid squeaking and squaking of others when band is offered (fingers crossed!)!

I can't believe summer is coming to an end! I know I say this every year, but it seems to fly by so quickly! I already have plans to go work in my classroom next week. I sure am going to enjoy every last minute we have! I love this time with my boys! Teaching is the best "Mommy job" in the world. I'd love to be able to stay home with my boys all the time, but I think I have the next best thing!
