Another Graduate!

Two weeks ago, my baby sister graduated from High School! She was in the top ten students of her 300+ graduating class. And she sang a rockin' solo when her Jazz Choir performed at graduation! She's working this summer and will be heading off to college in the fall. Which freaks me out considering I remember when she was born. I brought her to first grade for show and tell!



As I type, she and my mom are in DisneyLand...celebrating with my sister's best friend (another graduate) and her mom. Have fun! And tell Cinderella hello! She always was my favorite...

Summer

Schoooooool's out for the summer!

My classroom is packed and ready to be moved. I'm all checked out. I've turned in my keys.

Yay!

I'm preparing to go on a fabulous trip with my little sister...so my vacation so far has consisted mainly of laundry, cleaning, and laundry.

But I have checked off a few of the summer to-do's already!

Inspired by my sister-in-law, I got a cute hook to hand my basket and a lantern. When I get back from my trip I'll pot some flowers, and together those babies will surround my little patio set (which needs to be painted).

Now, honestly, which colors do you prefer?

Sky a la Smurf?

Or Sable and Sawdust?

New paint colors? Check!

I'm also working on some new bedding for the guest room! I'll do a sneak peek next week!

Almost There

The last two weeks have been packed! I'm so happy to say that on Friday, I will be free! Yes, I will tearfully say goodbye to my dear third graders...and then flip handsprings on my way out the door!

I

Am

Ready

For

Summer!!!

The end of year is always a little difficult...trying to get all the artwork off the walls so that students can take it home...making sure there is enough time to finish the last writing project...squeezing in the last half of Little House in the Big Woods...

Not to mention packing all my teaching stuff again before I leave for the summer.

Just like all the other years, everything will get finished just in time and then I'll be able to

Relax

Read

Sleep

Sew

Clean

Cook

Blog?!?

Until then...have a great week!
