Whew! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind but student teaching is finally over and I am officially "certified."  I had a much better experience at this last school and actually enjoyed getting to know the kids and teaching so it wasn't all bad. :) 

I knew that I wanted to get some painting done once I had time so here I am in my respirator that Tom insisted that I wear when painting despite having all the windows open.  I decided to do the bathroom and had fun doing it.  Walmart paint by the way...only $13 a gallon and it turned out great.  The only problem is, no one knows what they're doing there so you have to be patient when you go to get paint matched.  It took the guy at the paint counter a good 45 minutes to figure out how to match my Benjamin Moore swatch to their paint matcher. 

See the shirt I am wearing?  It says "baby on board."  The baby is holding a bottle and is riding a surfboard.  Amy bought it for me and I wear it all the time!

                    The finished product....

Tom and I went to Belmar last weekend.  Here he is coming out of the water.  He can stay in the water for hours while I am content to sit under my umbrella and read my books or go for a walk. 


This is Tom's buddy "S." They were joking around and wrestling and Tom was pretty much on the ground the whole time getting beat.
I think to be nice, "S" let him get a picture where he looked like he was winning.

Pictures of the baby room to come soon!  I painted it today but want to wait til I have everything in place to post it.
