Today is my last day of school for the year. WOW, I can't believe it's actually here. 2 days to Turkiye. I originally would have only worked on Wednesday next week so i bought my ticket and planned to take one day off (Monday is a holiday). Later my schedule moved to Tue-Fri so WHOOPS, I told my boss I was so sorry that I had already purchased the ticket.
Today is the school picnic, so it's very fitting to be my last day to be with the kiddos.
WOW, just two days left at work. I can hardly wait. I must say being in just one place this year was so nice. I saw so much growth in these kids across the school year. I will totally miss them. I hope at least some of them will be coming back to the school next year so I can see them in their next class. Hugs kids, you are my sunshine.
Happy Hump day everyone. are you having a great week? I can't believe it's getting so close now. Here's a fun card today. Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. I really appreciate that. Just three more days with the kiddos.
Happy Tuesday. It's the beginning of my four-day week, the last week of class for me this year. 4 days to Türkiye now. Gonna miss the kiddos and really realizing how much I am going to miss the DH. My first week or two I have the hardest time sleeping by myself in a strange location. The one thing that happened last week is that my hostess cancelled on me, so I have changed my location near Idealtepe and moved back to where I stayed before in Aksaray.

Happy Saturday. Time to work on packing and making a final check list. I am also going through some travel websites and looking at tours or classes that would be fun to take while in Istanbul. Any recommendations? things that have caught my eye on this trip--making Turkish Delights, jewelry workshop, cooking.

Happy Friday everyone! What do y'all have planned for the weekend? I hope it's something nice. I am looking forward to spending time with the DH. Relaxing and packing materials plus just hanging out at home with him. Gonna miss him so much. My goodness this weekend is a week from the trip! NOW I REALLY have a lot to do.

Happy Thursday, just 6 more days of school for me. 6 Geese a laying--lol I'll take GOLD eggs or chocolate eggs. Mind you I said Chocolate, not chocolate looking. (are y'all sick of the 12 days of Christmas theme yet?) I sure am going to miss these kids. I will have to take some extra photos to upload into the classroom cloud for everyone to see. I wish I could share them here, but it's strictly forbidden. I love the hot air balloon here; it makes me think of Cappadocia.

Happy Hump day. I am looking forward to seeing the kiddos today. I can't believe how much they have grown this year. It's amazing to see a child's growth over a year at age 3-4. WOW. They are so adorable and sometimes so overwhelming. If I look on their online login pages, they still have their photos from the beginning of the year. WOW, so young.

The countdown for last days of school is on, just 8, 8 maids a milking? oooo, definitely not! The number of days till Turkiye is 12! Are y'all tired of hearing me talk about it yet? How long has it been? since day 250 or so. Ha ha. Maybe I need to sit down and take some deep breaths. Truth is I was ready to start counting the moment I go home in August. I bought my plane ticket by late October. I had that plane ticket cancelled and had to redo it in March. It's been a long time coming.
The store will close in about 10 days, so please put in those last minute orders. Then I will reopen in August will lots of new wonderful laces :) check out the store here, https://laceplacebyholley.etsy.com
Happy to have today off, just 13 days to Turkiye now. It's REALLY time to be serious about packing because I work 4 days a week and have only 2 weeks. It's careful consideration when you know you will be somewhere for 2 months and you must minimize space to the max so you can bring as much product home as possible. I have to keep in mind to take things that I may have to throw away because they are less important that lace, lol!

Thought I would share this fun FISHY card, lol. Did I ever tell you that my class got a pet fish? It's a blue and red beta. The kiddos named it "Rainbow Monstertruck". Seriously. That's the fish name. So Rainbow Monstertruck number 1 made it less than a week. I have no idea why unless it was sick or old. The teacher took it back (yes, a lifeless fish that we shared as "sick" and needing a doctor with the class) and we magically got Rainbow Monstertruck 2.

It's time for another Foodie Friday for the kiddos. I wonder what goodie we will have for this today. How about some oranges? Well, now that I think about it we may still be having parent conferences so perhaps no kiddos today. Awe, actually gonna miss them. This makes day 4, 4 calling doves, no please, how about 4 of my favorite fruit.

Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you are having a great end to the week. I think today we are having parent conferences. I am not sure what that will mean for my class. Usually parents will either choose to do it online or by phone. Occasionally they will bring their kids in, then that's when they need me to watch the child while the parents meet with the teacher.
Happy Wednesday. Aren't we glad the week is half over? or I guess about to be half over? I know I am. Love my kiddos but some days are flat exhausting, lol. Day 2 of the 12 of the 12 day countdown, no turtle doves for me....how about Lammes Candies Turtles? I just found out Lammes is closing!! What an Austin institution to shut down after 140 years
Check out the store for some last minute goodies before I shut down for summertime! https://laceplacebyholley.etsy.com
And so the countdown begins, is it like the 12 days of Christmas? 12 days of school? ha ha, here's day one....do I get a partridge in a pear tree? Well, I sincerely hope not. I'll take a hug and a laugh from the kids. That alone would make the day worth it.

Happy Saturday! WOO HOO, first Saturday of May and just 22 days to the trip, though I am most likely to go to Dallas TX beforehand anywhere from a one to two days early. YAY! so maybe just 20 days to the trip, lol. Will be nice to spend some time with the sister before my trip and I am SO SO thankful to her for taking me to Dallas to catch a direct flight to Istanbul. I am so used to having a 24–27-hour experience from TX to Istanbul that a 13-14 hour experience is nothing, lol! I am going to be delighted.

Happy May. I am sharing a food theme card today since it is FOODie Friday. I don't think we will be able to have watermelon since that is not in season, but I can't wait to see what we will have for the kiddos. The other week we had cherries and only about 2/3 of the class liked them. In fairness I didn't taste them, so I don't know it they were ripe or not, but I was surprised by that. I think the topic for the week is called "SMOOTHIE" friday and all the kids will get a blend of something.
I can't believe it's the last day of April. Woo Hoo, payday. Just 24 days until Turkiye now and 13 school days left with the kiddos left WOW. I guess this upcoming weekend is MAY, so let's break out the suitcases, lol. Here's the cutest little dog theme card using a doodlebug shaker.
