School Year Ending

As this school year comes to a close, I am beginning to think about next school year.... I have been up for the past 3 hours pinning many things! ( I wrote this at 3 in the morning btw...) 

I am sad that I will not be returning right away in August and being with my kiddos at the start of the year. Now that I have a full year under my belt at my new school, I feel beyond ready to prepare for the upcoming school year. I know what to expect and I am ready to take on a new year. 

But... I will be a mommy of two by the end of August. I am excited for our baby to come, I just didn't realize how much I'd miss the beginning of the school year. It is so important to set up everything from the beginning and I won't be there to kick it off right. It's kind of depressing me! 

I'm sure I may be singing a different tune come August, but I'm slowly realizing I may do better at a year-round school. Call me crazy, but I actually get in a depressive funk for 1-2 weeks after school ends and 1-2 weeks leading up to school. I also have so many amazing ideas I want to try but I feel like I never have the time to do it all. I honestly feel like getting 2 weeks off every 8 weeks would be more beneficial for me. 

Mother's Day 2014

I am clearly slow to the punches but, how was my first Mother's Day?

I had a blast. We went to Mesquite for most of the weekend to visit with my mom. While there, I got a mani/pedi and my hair cut. We gave my mom her present. Josh also got a little treat, early for Father's Day. Pictures of his gift are to come later.

 

We left Sunday and had dinner with Josh's family. Josh's mom also got the same gift as my mom did.

 

I must say, making these grandma gifts were crazy and fun. I got the idea from Pinterest and when I showed the picture to Josh, he absolutely loved it! The first one we did (above) turned out decent for our first try. The second one we made was a complete FAIL! Baby girl didn't cooperate and so her feet looked nothing like feet let alone a heart. The third one we did was a charm. The feet were in such a place it actually looked like a heart.
