September Overview 2023

 

Wow, September feels like it was 2 years ago.  This has been a very challenging school year filled with a lot of struggle and consequently growth as well.  

But, back to September....
One of our volleyball families hosted a pool party.  Did not plan to swim, but Saige and I cannot actually stay away from fun so we jumped in with our volleyball practice clothes on.

When you make your athletic director take a picture on the maiden voyage of the mini school bus taking us to a volleyball game. 


One of my volleyball players picked me this flower before a game and I kinda loved it. 

This gal.  I just love her.  She is is absolute best. 



with her patriotic pen...not really sure why but it's cute

Mr. Sandeno and I discovered that we had a mutual friend which was super fun

Sarah and I took my parents to their first ever Escape Room

We did great!


We also played a lot of Ticket to Ride

Later in September we attended a friend's birthday party. This is Kolbe with one of our former neighbors.

old neighborhood squad plus a random other kid from the party who jumped in for fun


Nana and Granddaddy came to watch some volleyball games while they were here

after the game we hung out in the parking lot eating some sandwiches. 







The school we play our volleyball games out had this fun cut out.  How could we not?





I think these pictures of Sarah and I (we both teach third grade) are so us.  And reverse the faces and its also us.  Teacher besties making our school more joyful and ridiculous one day at a time!

Pilgrim's Progress is a game the kids always beg Nana and Granddaddy to bring when they visit. 


Homecoming dress shopping.  
Isn't she lovely?

game night with my parents and some friends


Nana accidentally mixed up dish soap with dishwashing fluid and we had fun learning a new lesson

I sprained my finger at volleyball.  ouch.

PINK OUT!



Miss Marmaro didn't own a pink shirt and one of her students didn't want her to feel left out of spirit day so he drew her one.

We won!

got a fun blister on my foot too.  Yikes, I was a mess
