Bless this house

 Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you are having a great day.  I am happy to be home from the convention. I got lots of wonderful cards made, over 200 and had a lovely time. I can't wait to share with you all the great things I made.  I am happy to be home though, I get very little sleep in strange beds.

Lemon today?

 Happy Friday everyone.  It's Foodie Friday at school and we'll be discovering something delicious for the kiddos today.  I can't wait to see if they love it or not.  I hope that at least they give it a try.  The other week we have dragonfruit and papaya.  I think both were a hit.  At least more kids than not liked them.

Tree Card

Wishing you all a great day. Since it's Monday we will go for a walk at the Texas Capitol grounds with the kids.  As you can imagine, it's a huge area, so there's much to see (statues and memorials) plus just general things that three year olds can learn about  like local vegetation and insects...)  One of their favorite places is what we call the "climbing tree" which is a tree that is low enough to the ground that we can climb on it.

Bloom and Grow

 Hope you are having a lovely weekend.  I am at training, not in Austin, but in a city just north of us called Round Rock.  It's at Kalahari Resorts.  Not looking forward to paying Uber to take me there and back everyday. But I am looking for some personal growth as a teacher.

Adulting is Hard

 Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you are having a great day and week.  Tomorrow through the entire weekend I will be at a work conference.  That's both good and bad.  Good for my job, bad for time, lol. I really do miss my weekends, but hey, it's just one weekend.

Enjoy

 Happy Hump Day.  I hope your week is going well.  Today is my last day with the kiddos as I am having special training on the 7th and 8th (maybe the 9th also?) for school.  Gonna be a busy weekend.  Sigh, now how I like my weekends, but I am required to get so many hours of training per year, so I must do it. For now, let's enjoy today!

Bee sting

Good Day everyone. I hope you are ready for Tuesday.  Here's a cute bee card.  Did I tell yall that I got stung by a bee the other day?  BEHIND my ear.  I felt something moving and I thought it was my hearing aid being loose, so I immediately moved my hand up to my ear to check for my hearing aid and BAM the bee stung me and flew off.  OUCH.  That sting hurt for days.

Hey there

 Here's a little cutie from SEI, I made a CAS card for Halloween with a tiny pumpkin, which just reminds me of those little pumpkins that I see at the store.  I hope my kiddos will get the experience of carving one up.  But NOT at school as we have a dear teacher who is very allergic to pumpkin
