Whew!

The update is here! You people really know how to harrass a girl!!




Charleston was so much fun!


I have been spinning in circles since going back to work last Monday, and it doesn't look like life will be slowing down any time soon. Our school underwent a MAJOR renovation over the summer, but it left the classrooms really dirty and messy.

We also have some really sketchy construction workers who have managed to "pinch" quite a few items from various classrooms - including mine. I have to remind myself that the "stuff" is not what makes my classroom an awesome place to be - it's the kids inside that make me want to come to work. Come Monday morning, I won't be thinking about the missing "stuff" - I'll be focused on my kiddos who are just as ready to come back and be together as I am!

I'm afraid my pictures won't be in any particular order. Evidently when you save a draft of a post, Blogger doesn't want to let you add any new pictures to it.

On our first night in Charleston we discovered the Acme Cantina, which was in WALKING distance of our beach apartment. Danger, Danger, Danger! We met a group of guys who worked at The Boathouse, a restaurant on the Isle of Palms (where we were staying). They invited us to come out for a night and have dinner.

Hot Mamas Sherry and Abby getting ready to go to dinner!

We also did quite a bit of shopping as well --- in The Market in Charleston, and in the fun beach shops along the boardwalk on the Isle of Palms.

Michelle the Mad and Abigail the Anxious --- ARRRRR!

Sorry, no pirate hats were purchased. They didn't come with eyepatches - which, we clearly needed to pass as "authentic" pirates. I did find a cute new bathing suit! :-)
