Five for Friday!!!

Happy Friday!!!!

Oh my word I am so happy it's Friday, although, today is field day. Sooooo....... I'll be happier around 3:00. Chaos and I are not friends. But I know the kids need this day, so I'll try and bite my tongue as much as possible... :)

I thought I'd link up with Kacey at Doodle Bugs Teaching...



(And I copied her cute numbers!!!)


Well, this happened...



All the boys were outside playing on daddy's trailer. (no it was not moving) Taylor apparently was trying to get off and fell. Of course I was not outside with him at the time. Mother of the year, I know.
Sooooo, after four hours in the ER... he got three staples! Ouch!  Can I tell you...that little stinker didn't even cry.  He got really still and really quiet, but no tears. I think that's just his coping mechanism. Crazy boy!!!
Next day at school we thought we'd be safe while he played on the playground...


Maybe a good idea for all the time!!!



Rainy night baseball! This is my life right now and for the next month!!!

We have had the weirdest spring weather this week! We went home to a sunny day and while the sun was shining it just started raining. Crazy! But it gave the twins a chance to use their umbrellas (a frog and a fish)!



O.M.G.  I got new my new Toms wedge sandals from Nordstrom's sale this week.  Love! I mean, how could you not?


They are so cute!

And finally....

Today was Field Day at school. Everyone had a blast! And......we still have a whole week left of school.......


That's all I have to say about that.

How was your week???

I hope you're done!

New Look!

I am so excited to share with you my new look!!!

I think my blog looks awesome! 

I loved it before, too, but it needed a change to get me motivated to write more. 

Something about me....I really am a teacher who likes change! I get bored easily and I have to mix things up. In my classroom, I am always rearranging the furniture and I actually move the students around every week!  Every Monday, they know they have to put their things away, then go find their new spot. It allows me to quickly see who works well together and who doesn't. I think it's good for them to sit next to and work with everyone. If there are any major personality conflicts or best friends who get in trouble together I remember not to put them together again! :)

Anyway, I want to thank Alicia at dreamlike Magic designs! She had a simple template that was really cute and she installed it fast and free! It was great! If you're looking for a new look for your blog, go look at Alicia's site!


So, how many days do you have left? We have 7!!! Plus a work day! I hope I make it! Next week is going to be loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong!!!!

10 Things


Well I've chosen to come back to blogging again to join Deanna Jump's link about plans for the summer! How fun is that?! Because with two whole weeks still left, I don't really want to think about school right now!!!! So here we go...


1. Spend some time with these cute guys...


And hopefully spend a lot of time sleeping in together.... kind of like this, although there wasn't a lot of sleep going on in this picture.  (The flash was really bright!) :)

2. Read read read!!!!

I really do love to read, but with the three in the above picture, I don't always have a lot of time for that. When I finally get everyone to bed, I am usually so wiped, that I just turn on the tv and veg before I go to sleep. Hopefully summer will give me some time to read these books...




The last book I really want to dive into for many reasons, but mainly because Timothy Shanahan was involved with it. Do you read his blog??? His can be quite controversial and I don't always agree with everything he says, but he sure makes me think! I want to read the 3-5 version but I couldn't find a pic of it. I think I may have a move in my future and I'm Excited!!!! More info later....

3.  

Oh yeah! We aren't going to the beach this year but we found out there's a Legoland in Dallas! Who knew?!  My brother lives there and the boys looooooooooooove their uncle (who is a 40 something bachelor) so we're going to invade his turf and show him some fun!!!!

4. Pool time!

5. Library for the boys

6, 7, and 8. Paint!

So, we've been in our house over 4 years now. Before we moved in, we got the living room, dining room, and kitchen painted, which was so great. Now, all these bedrooms that we skipped over are starting to show some wear. We started with my bedroom. I painted four walls a light gray and an accent wall that our bed is on, a dark gray. Then I got white bedding, working on white curtains and some turquoise accents. I'll post a pic if we ever get completely finished. This summer we're going to do our master bath, the boy's bath, and our guest bedroom. I'm tired already. But you can see why I counted this three times.

9. Maybe in-between take a mini vacay to visit friends in Florida. That would definitely be a child free trip, so it will depend on who's willing to keep my boys. Any takers????

10. And of course, work on my classroom!!! I love working on my classroom in the summer. I like to get it looking great before the kids come in and ruin it all the start of the new year!!!






What about you?! What are your great summer plans?!
