My Alter Ego

As the summer is coming to an end my alter ego starts to appear. That would be Miss Arnold. I am sitting in my very cluttered new classroom. I am both excited and not excited to return to school. I love teaching and I am very excited to get back to "normal" in the fourth grade, however I have really enjoyed my freedom this summer and I'm not sure I'm ready to give that up just yet. I love being able to get up at 10:00 if I feel like it or taking a nap during the middle of the day or working on a project all day long. Here are a few things that I have done this summer:




1. I finished hand quilting and binding a quilt. This takes a lot longer than expected.

2. I made myself a shirt out of the cutest $2 a yard fabric from the Wal-Mart.

3. I visited Matt and Cody and their families in Wyoming.

4. Went to Cheyenne Fronteir Days and watched Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts.

5. Saw High School Musical on stage at the Capital Theater.

6. Went to Hogle Zoo for the first time.

7. Camped with friends.

8. Canned some of Mom's green beans.

9. Cleaned under the fridge and stove. GROSS!!!

10. Spent many hours hanging out with Claire and Isabel.

11. Read books that have been on my shelf for months.

12. Learned how to machine quilt.

Now that I have regular access to a computer you'll probably hear from me more though so that's a good thing about school.
