My baby is a Kindergartner!!

Today Malie had her first day of Kindergarten, after a week of telling me she wasn't too excited and that she just wanted to stay home with me, she met her teacher and than it was goodbye mom and hello school. She had been so excited the past few nights to start school and today I wondered if either of us would cry. I knew that if she did I would, but she acted like it was just another day! She walked in and sat down and started coloring with all of the other kids. So Josh and I decided not to stay too long before the tables turned and we were a hot mess. It is just crazy to me that we are at this point already. I am back to working full time and I really like it and Malie is in school, real school, and it is going to go soooo fast from here on out. When I think about her getting older it makes my tummy hurt. I do get excited for her to mature a little but I also want my little baby back too.

One thing that has helped with the anxiety of her growing up is work. I am really liking being back at work, more than I thought I would. We don't get any kiddos in our room yet for a little bit so we have just been getting things ready, but it will be fun to get to know the kids. Oh and I have been pretty proud of myself too because I have been keeping up with house work!

This last weekend the hubby and I got to spend some time together and went to the Alterbridge concert to see one of our favorite bands and Josh's idol for guitar. I got some good pictures and I wish I was in a better spot to get even better ones. Maybe one day I could actually become a photographer, but for now I will keep it as a hobby, but I am really happy and in my own element when I am taking pictures. It's weird because I feel like it just crept up on me too. Maybe that's just the way it goes. But I better get to bed because I have work in the morning!!! Time to play some Majohng till I get too tired to keep my eye's open. Good night!!

Going back to work!

I had an interview a few weeks ago to go from being a sub to a full time para and I got the job and I will be working at Malie's old school, at the preschool. I am excited to bring in some extra money!! This means I will be taking another break from school again, but I would rather get us caught up on bills and even ahead. So since I start work soon and Malie starts school again soon we are trying to spend some more time together so we went to Lauritzen Gardens the other day so I could take some pictures and she could see the trains. Brittney and I put together her cop car so she could drive around in it. She does really good, it's funny to see her driving like adults do. She likes to park it and than back it up and turn around. Tremonti loves to follow her in it and he barks at it too. The weather has been so beautiful the past few days we haven't even had the air on, saving money!! So below are some pictures that I took from our day at the gardens. I let Malie run through one of their sprinklers that day so a couple of the pictures her shirt is wet. Hope you enjoy!
