Terri and Jayden spent a couple of hours at the fair this past week...and of course, checked out the animals (pigs, goats, horses, cows, dogs, baby chicks, birds, and turkeys...which she didn't like so much!) and Jayden went on a few rides (of course, the swing, her favorite, was one of them). It was a great day, perfect weather, not too busy and just the right amout of time for a visit...enough to wear "Mimi" out. Of course, Jayden got to ride in the stroller when she didn't want to walk...no fair! Always fun when at the fair with little ones...their excitment is so much fun to watch!
Some exciting news...Jessalyn got a teaching job!! WhooHoo!! With all the cutbacks in the schools this year, she wasn't very optomistic she would get one, but just over a week ago, got a call from the Fife school district, interviewed this past Monday and was hired that evening for a 1st grade teaching position! Wednesday she was there filling out the paper work and starting to put a classroom together. It was a crazy week for her...LOTS to do and she needed to get it somewhat in order by Friday afternoon when she would meet her new students for a short visit to get acquainted. Jess' friend, Danielle, helped her in the classroom during the week and we were up there (with Danielle as well) yesterday, helping Jess get things together. For as little of time as she's had, it really looks great. The theme of her room is FROGS...so if you have any great ideas or things you'd like to donate, I'm sure Jess would love it! Tomorrow morning is her first day teaching her new class. She'll have 23 students and I'm sure they'll keep her on her toes for a while, but we know the kids will love "Mrs. Perry" and they are lucky to have her! WAY to go, Jess...we are very proud of you!
