Busy Times!!

So.... we're off to a busy summer!! I finished my 5th TAC event in early June and now we're planning a trip to visit Dev as she makes her next big move! We're starting with St. Louis, Springfield, then a train ride to Chicago!! The kids are going to be soooo excited....I am already and it's killing me not to give them the exciting news! They are going to be sooo grouchy when they have to be up at the crack of dawn to ride for 6:45! I can hear mya fussing now...why?!? I stay here!! :-) But they'll really be so excited once they see the train!!

Haven't posted.....due to.....

Facebook!! I am horrible at updating my blog....now I'm on Facebook, it's even worse.

I've added a new link to the blogs I visit...Taylormade. Haven't really played with any of it yet, but looks great for my digi scrapping....when I start scrapping again :-/

New App....be my follower :-)

Geesh.... it's been a long time since I've posted!!

Linda e-mailed me a new app that she added to her blog, and I thought it was cool! I always wondered who are the peeps that are checking out my blog. So be a follower so I can see :-) Zero is such a lonely number anyway....

Have a happy Sunday!!

Waiting, waiting, and you guessed it.....

So we're here in Florida, just south of Jacksonville with my Aunt Rita! We dodged traffic during evacuation and have exhausted ourselves (meme and myself) trying to keep the kids occupied. It has been a mini vacation!!

Monday we visited Fort Clinch and the houses in the surrounding area.....it was beautiful.

Tuesday we took the kids to Epcot for the day. The kids were so excited about being in Disney!! We went into the talk to Crush attraction and Trey was called on....it's a funny story, but I will have to post it later....

AND TODAY we visited another fort in St. Augustine. We shopped around the little shops, and saw the oldest schoolhouse....which was very creepy because they had these crazy old maniquins trying to depict the past and it was creepy. Did I say creepy?

Well, that's it for now.....I'll be back :-)

Ahhhh.....

Well I can Ahhhhh for a couple of things.....

First of all, my mama has a blog and a myspace!!! woohoo :-)
Secondly, this gosh darn storm trying to make it's way into the gulf!! We've had rain here in New iberia for about the past 4 weeks! We had tornado watches on Sunday from Fay, and now this sucka trying to make us sweat. WTH?? Well, speaking of the rain....let me ahhhhhh again. My energetic 1st grade class has not had recess since the start of school. Well I guess that would be better said as NO RECESS AT ALL THIS SCHOOL YEAR. 3 whole weeks of inside chaos. They are going to sooooo bad when they finally hit that play ground in, ummmm, I'm estimating NOVEMBER!!

Well I've already started to pack some stuff.....just in case. I have all my pictures together, all of my scrapbook albums, cameras and camcorders....oohh and my files of important papers too :-) Last time I forgot a bunch of those and I definitely don't want that again!! Little bit at a time I figure. And if I don't need it, oh well!! I rather waste my time than actually have to take it! And I did get some reorganizing done in my closet, so it really isn't such a bad thing :-)

Weeeellll, enough babbling for tonight! I haven't even gotten my stuff ready for tomorrow!! Shame on me :-I

My project today....

So, I've been working in my classroom.....school starts next Friday!! Today I pretty much just worked on my door, well with little other things here and there, but mainly my door. The school theme this year is "treasures in learning" and my class room theme is flowers and bugs. So check out my materpiece....wudduya think?? I used some paper tearing for the grass, Cricut cartridge 'walk in the garden' cartridge for the flowers, lady bugs, worm, snail, turtle and butterflies. I used the Pooh marker font to make my golden letters.




Still have LOTS of work left to do.....so I've got my list and I'll be off to Wal-mart and Office Depot bright and early!! Office depot is having a teacher appreciation thingy starting at 9, so you know I'll be there :-) Can't beat the freebies!!!

I have a crazy week ahead....new teacher meetings on Mon and Tues, student orientation for the students on Wed (that means I have to do my orientation and go to the kids too!!!) and Thurs is my LAST day to have everything ready...yikes!! Where did my summer go??

Vacation!!!

We went to Fort Walton Beach in Florida a couple of weeks ago for a friend's wedding. We decided to make a mini vacation of it.....we spent some time on the beach - drooled over the BLUE and Emerald Green waters, hit the water park, and rented a boat for the day with friends. We had a great time.....check out some of my favorite pics!!

The worst part was really the drive...about 6.5 hours from New Iberia. Of course, we had our beach withdrawls once we returned home, which included trying to figure out when we would be able to go back!! OH, and of course I found a scrapbook store, and would you know, the second I mention it Wayne hits the gas like we were about to be hit by an oncoming car!!! The nerve :-)
