This is so neat!

Let me start by saying I have no idea how much these cost, since each one is a unique creation, I imagine that the price is different for each one.

However, I can imagine that the price would be well worth it...

The lady at this blog takes your child's drawing and turns it into a plush toy!

 


Is that not adorable?? And she does such a great job of capturing the drawing perfectly.
I cannot wait until my babies can draw cute little things so that I can have one made for each of them!

My birthday and a little more...

On Thursday night we went to eat with my dad, and then to his new house for a little while. It was a nice evening. Both the babies did really well at the restaurant. Also, my dad got me a new Nikon camera. It's pretty nice. The battery case on my other one was broke, so it wouldn't hold the batteries in.

Friday afternoon we went to eat with my mom, sister, and nana. It was a little more chaotic, but I still had a good time. My mom got me a cake, some balloons, a bride and groom rubber duck (for our wedding), and a book of pictures from all throughout my life. It's really neat. She had it made on Walgreens.com. From that book, I realized that Brentley looks almost just like I did as a baby! Some of the pictures of me could seriously be Brentley.

Then, when we got home Chris pulled out the cake that he got to surprise me. This is the most amazing cake I have ever had. It's a layer of cake, then a layer of cheesecake, then a layer of sliced strawberries, then another layer of cake, then a layer of whip cream, topped with chocolate and strawberries. YUM!

 I had a very nice 20th birthday :)


Today it felt great outside, so we decided to take the kids out.
Grace got to ride her tricycle, and she did really good for it being her first time ever!

I had two videos, but of course the won't load. I'll keep trying.

I get to teach!

Okay, so I am super nervous about this. I have never actually taught a classroom before, but I am excited about it at the same time! I think it is going to be a lot of fun! I got my placement. I am going to be in a second grade class. I have never worked with second graders before, so this should be interesting. I contacted my teacher, and I think we have decided that I am going to go in at 10 am on Fridays. Luckily it is at the same school that I have interned in before, so I know my way around.


I got my kit too. It looks like this...

Except the theme of my kit is "Our Community." We have fun activities like matching the job stickers with the building they go to, and making donuts (not real donuts, but still fun lol).
I'm not sure yet what Friday I will be starting. This is not a job or anything. Just some training that is part of one of my classes. I will keep you all updated as I actually get to complete my lessons.
I have five different lessons that I get to teach. I think this is going to be really fun!
