Fall Break

Fall break was great! Dave and I got away (without kids) for a few days. It was wonderful. :-) We left right after school on Tuesday and drove to Gatlinburg, TN. It was a long drive, but well worth it. We saw many beautiful colors and sights in TN. Here is just one of many photos. We had fun walking, shopping, talking, eating and being quiet. We came home on Friday so that we wouldn't miss Halloween with our girls. It was great time away. I miss it already.

Seasons

The calendar says it's autumn. The air really has no idea what season it is - since it skipped summer this year. But there is a crispness in the air now that wasn't there a few days ago. The trees are showing signs of change. So with that, I decided today it was time to switch the girls closets... pulled out the long pants, put away most of the shorts... pulled out some long sleeves and packed aways a few tank tops...

I am ok with autumn. I am ok with spring and summer... but boy am I dreading the fact that between autumn and spring is winter... I am so not looking forward to that!

Friday Night

Wanna know what we are doing on this Friday night?

The girls - playing upstairs

Dave - asleep on the couch

Me - on the computer

It is hard to handle all the excitement here in the Toevs house. :-)

Teacher

I am fully back in the swing of being "Mrs. Toevs" all day. I now have five weeks under my belt. I finally have some sort of rhythm going in my classroom. I don't feel quite as overwhelmed as I did in the beginning. There are still moments of stress, but overall, it is much better. I have a really good class. I am thankful for the group I have.
