Labor Days...Literally!!!

School started last Wednesday so life has been a little crazy! But I love it, I'm having a blast teaching. I can honestly say it's probably the hardest thing I've ever done (I'm exhausted when I get home at night) but it is worth it. My classroom isn't quite put together all the way yet but when it gets done I'll have to post some pictures of it. I have 21 of the cutest kids ever! They always manage to make me smile and laugh at the funny things they say. I only have 2 students in my class that I could live without, but I'm up for the challenge. Anyways they're adorable and I love teaching. I'll have to keep you posted with all the cute things they say. Last week one of my little boys whispered to another one "Our teacher is the prettiest 2nd grade teacher!" That one made me smile, except then I realized the other 2nd grade teachers are all in their 60's, so maybe not such a compliment, oh well, I'll take what I can get!


Anyways this weekend was a blast and a nice break from being a 24/7 teacher with no life durring the week! Sunday after church my family all headed up to our cabin for the rest of the labor day weekend! Sunday night we went fourwheeling and saw a couple of big bull moose fighting with their antlers hooked, which was pretty dang cool! Then we went back and had just started playing a card game when the power went out. We lit all the candles we could find, then started lighting all the old oil lamps we have up there and found a lantern and lit it too. So we all sat around it and finished our game. It was lots of fun!
The next morning Kristen, Brandon, and I all went down to the outlet stores in Park City, which are only about 30 minutes from our cabin, and went shopping. Now you all know how much I love shopping, so of course I had fun and got lots of cute new clothes and some cute jewlery, plus I got some awesome deals. When we got back we went four wheeling some more. Brandon made me lead and you all know how animals have a thing about running out in front of me... well my Grandma said as I left don't run over any moose. Yeah thanks Grandma...I had two moose and one deer run out in front of me...apparently somebody alerted the animals that I was driving...but no I didn't manage to hit any! We saw a big moose laying in a pond and my brother decided to go wading in the pond with the moose, the moose didn't mind much he just laid at the other end, which really wasn't that far away, while we played around. Anyways it was a great weekend, full of shopping, four wheeling, and wildlife. Oh and we also learned that the plural of moose is moose, score another point for the girls, we won another one!
