Back update

So, for those of you who don't know, I have a herniated disc in my back. It has caused numbness and pain down the left leg. It has caused some problems for me over the last few weeks. I went to the doctor yesterday and I have a epidural steroid injection scheduled for next Wednesday. They also only do shots wednesdays. I wish it was today, but I apparently can't take alleve for 5 days before the shot. Apparently it thins the blood and can cause problems. I wish they told me that fact 5 days ago!!

Happy Harvest!!

I taught a preschool lesson on harvesting today and happily that meant I could use my 3 little students to help me dig in the dirt for some sweet potatoes.

First let me say, I am not an avid gardener. I do it badly and only because I feel I "should" garden.
Happily the sweet potatoes were one of the few things I did not kill. They have been growing for months and I was able to pull up about 2 dozen of various shapes and sizes.

We brought a few inside and cooked up 1 for snack time. The 2 other boys happily ate theirs but Josh ran away and would not eat anything. So typical!!

Preschool

I have been doing a cooperative preschool with friends this year for Josh and November has been my Month to teach. Luckily there are only 3 little boys who get along fairly well! We usually end each preschool day with a romp in the backyard. It has really been fun watching josh and his friends learn letters and numbers!




Today we were going to make a handprint turkey, but that evolved into full on finger painting!



I think the plate was as fun to cover as the paper!



And then the usually digging for treasure!
