Field Trip!

Yesterday, Dustin took the day off of school to help me work in my classroom. I am moving back to 5th grade this year (yay!!!) but that means moving classrooms. It's amazing how many educational materials one can collect in only two years of teaching!

Hey mom!

When we arrived at school, we spent the first 20 minutes in the office showing Beanie off to all of my coworkers who had also gone in early to get things done. He received many compliments :)  Afterward, we headed straight to my new room. We had visited previously this summer briefly to simply throw the many boxes of things into the new room. Today was part two, unpacking and organizing.

Classroom library before...

...and after! :)

We worked in shifts for most of the day. Beanie did not sleep as much as we had counted on so he required a little entertainment. He did a good job considering we worked in the room for nearly 5 hours. In fact, I think he only had one minor meltdown!

Cat-nap!

After Dust got most of the heavy lifting out of the way, I got to work on organizing my desk, filing cabinets, etc.

Meanwhile, the boys enjoyed Daddy-Baby time :)

Hard at work ;)

Dustin working on strengthening Beans left neck muscles...such a chiropractor!

At about 3:15, we called it a day. We could only ask so much of Beanie in one day! We headed to a pizza place right near my school. Dustin really likes it but because I work in Tampa, he rarely gets the chance to eat here. Anyway, we seized the opportunity.

Daddy and Bean

When we got their, Bean was not very happy. Dustin and I passed him back and forth to keep him quiet. Eventually, I ended up holding him and Dustin ended up with my salad...

It didn't take long for Beanie to fall asleep and when he did, I put him in his carseat. Of course, he immediately woke up but was happy that mommy was next to him :)

Sleepy baby!

We finished our dinner and headed for home. It was a nice family day and I am so thankful for my boys' help!

If you look closely, you can see all three of us!!

We finished the day with a nice walk in the neighborhood...Bean LOVES going for walks :)

Yawn!

I am so blessed :)
