I Love Being a Teacher

Another cool thing about Whitefield Academy is that students need 10 hours of community service to be promoted to the next grade. With the school year coming to a close, these fabulous young men below are racking up some hours doing yard work with Nathan and me. I got a text from our neighbor Bev (whose house you can see across the street) which read, "U guys do know that child labor is frowned upon, right?" Anna Grace and Emma Jackson (our flower girls) were over as well. Anna Grace was the photographer for the day.


Anna Grace and I were outside in our flip flops picking up sticks when Nathan said, "You're standing in a giant patch of poison ivy!" We screamed, washed our feet off with gardenia body scrub in the tub, Anna quit her stick picking up job, and I proceeded in the yard armed with my poison ivy deterring socks. See below. Who knew that my cheer socks would come in handy for such an occasion?


Here is an action shot of me dumping sticks onto a pile. You may or may not recognize the pile as the previous location of our Super Bowl party bonfire. Good times. Thanks for shooting the memories Anna Grace!
Dressed to kill, I say. Dressed. To. Kill.
