Toot Your Horn Tuesday - A is for Apple

I realize that many of the participants here on Toot Your Horn Tuesday are crafters, but not all of us! I'm a wife, mom and I teach 4 year olds the alphabet! I work for a small church and started this year with no curriculum, having to write my own! Our first few weeks have been a blast. Thank goodness for the Internet!! I've found so much help and many wonderful ideas! I'm planning to share whenever I can. Stay tuned! The kids loved using their bodies to form letters for A week and B week!

Toot Without Me I'm Too Tired

(only 1 of my 4 children agreed to pose for a back to school picture, guess that's the difference between a preschooler and the older "cooler" gang)
First week of school was a success...2nd week also running smoothly, but I'm So Tired! You'll have to Toot without me!

If you are playing along, please place a Toot Your Horn Tuesday link or my button somewhere in your post or on your page. I've had complaints from some participants that many of you are not following the rules, although I'm not stressed over it one bit. It just helps to spread the fun! And that's the whole point!!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Husband Toot

Isn't that a beautiful view?!
With so much going on this past week as I prepare to begin my first year teaching preschool and as I prepare my own children for their first days of school, my dear sweet husband did a little preparing himself....He took me on a whirlwind, one night, one day adventure. First, a romantic room at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg. Then a fun day hopping the battlefields and exploring the historical homes and river front in Yorktown.
