After a hectic two weeks off (okay, so I took a little more than that!) I am back, but not quite at full speed. Yesterday was pretty bad, I am still not focusing 100% on school. Hopefully I will be full speed next week.

Over the break, my aunt passed away in Snowflake, Arizona. She had never married and we were all the family she had. My mother had been caring for her at a small apartment in the back portion of her property. After my aunt's death, my mom wanted us (re: my sister and I) to help her clear out the apartment. My aunt could have been considered a "hoarder." So I spent much of my break looking at every sheet of paper that my aunt had saved for the last few years (maybe 10 or more!). Then we buried her over in California. So I am sorry that I have not been fully focused on school. I am still a little sleep deprived and the one-day fly to and back to California really wiped me out.

Now back to school stuff. Upcoming calendar for kindergarten:

• Saturday October 23 Halloween Carnival and Maze, Mountain View High School 10 am - 6 pm
• Thursday October 28 Field trip to the Buckelew Pumpkin Patch
• Wednesday November 10 Veteran's Day Program at school, 10 am
• Thursday November 11 Veteran's Day, No school
• Thursday and Friday November 25 and 26 Thanksgiving, No school

We have changed our PE schedule. We now have PE on Tuesday and Thursday. Please remember to have your children wear appropriate footwear on those days.
