Dr. Johns Sports Center

Just wanted to update everyone about work! It is still going great!!! I really love it and I am so happy that I found this job. We have been trying to make changes lately and things seem to be going in the right direction to make us a better after school program. We have been working on positivity instead of using tons of discipline... leaving our personal, home stuff at home and loving on these kids.

I have started this new thing with my kids, for the positive route of dicipline during attendance time. Usually, I just have them run around like crazy while I mark down who is there. Now, we sit in a circle and when I call their name out, they tell me a favorite something... like color or animal... or ask a question for them to answer. It has been going pretty well... they just take so long to think or want to pick 10 favorite colors.... I don't have that much time. haha... They are so cute though!

We are preping for Halloween and it is getting so exciting!! We are going to doing a Haunted Mansion setup in our gym and we are hoping the kids love it. It is going to be a maze and have all these different rooms and they weave through the gym and do a couple of activites... so it will be fun... I hope :)

Pictures from my phone...

These are out of order, but I couldnt do anything about it.... enjoy anyway!!!! They are pictures off my phone. I have some that are more recent, but I couldn't get them off my phone because it is DEAD! Haha, I'll have to do this type of blog again soon.








A pretty rainbow on my drive home.



The truck came to the store when I was there, just fun to see!


A cool truck I saw and thought Austin would like it, so I took a picture of it. We ended up seeing it at the drive thru at Chick Fil A when we were eating inside about 20 minutes after I took this picture!! It was crazy...

Wrap up...

Lets see....

I am (hopefully) back to normal with the back spasms and hope to NEVER have that feeling EVER again! Horrible...

Work is going great. I am LOVING the cooler weather and hope it sticks around. I have FLAG FOOTBALL for the next 6 weeks of work, so that will keep me busy for sure. I have to prepare for this coming up week. Get everything laid out so I know what is going on. Different things for the bigger kids and smaller ones keep me busy and tired..... They are a handful.

We went to our first GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME! We had so much fun. Before we left, our next door neighbors were outside and said the dad and oldest son were there... little did we know, they would be right where we were looking for seats, so we sat right next to them. I think Austin was glad to have him there to talk to since all I wanted to do was watch the cheerleaders :)

Oh and did I mention that Georgetown played Temple. It was a little wierd for me. Austin said we definitely wouldn't be sitting on the Temple side... but I wore a red shirt anyway! I didn't do much cheering for either team. Just watched and thought about how it was when I still cheered for Temple High School. Makes me sad at how time flies.

If you don't already know... COLLEGE FOOTBALL is back and running. I am on game 2 for the day... and yes I am sitting here watching the UT game in an A&M shirt :)
