My Week Off!

Cian's Art class drawing was picked to be on the wall for open house. We were so proud of him! He loves to draw trees.

Last week I had the week off from teaching. I teach at an Islamic private school and they were celebrating the end of Ramadan. So, yeah for me, I got to stay home! Cian was in school all week, so I was for the first time I was all alone. It was very weird at first. I kept watching the clock. I kept having the feeling like I was lost. I got to work though and I completed a lot of tasks that I never can do when Cian is home. I finally painted over my bright purple dining room walls. Yes, I love purple....but I always felt uncomfortable in that room. Now it looks so much bigger (I guess I should have taken a picture of it...next time). I was able to finally fish the trim work in the upstairs hallway. Nicole and I painted the hall a 2 1/2 years ago.... It really took me a long time to get back to that trim! No wonder why too...It took me seven hours to complete non-stop! I was able to go to several appointments and read a story to and do a craft with Cian's class. We also went to Rochester for our niece Lily's 3rd birthday. What a week. It is early Monday morning and I am getting ready to go back into work. I wish I had a couple of more days, but I still feel accomplished.

Cian is really loving school. I am so impressed with his transition. He is already acting older and wiser. Where has my baby gone?! He loves music and dancing. This weekend he just started to do these break dancing moves. It was so odd...We asked him where he learned how to dance like that...He said he taught himself. lol.....It was a little unnerving because I am sure he will be covered with bruises....boys! He loves to help Kevin out around the house. Is is a big helper when it comes to carrying Dad's tools or even mixing the cement for the outside rocks. We are so lucky to have our little boy! He brings so much light into our lives.
