Flip flops

Allie and I found flip flops on clearance for $1 a pair. We bought a little ribbon and used stuff from around the house to make these.










Allie has claimed the pink flip flops with the zebra ribbon and sparkly black buttons. The other flip flops will go into my character store for my second grade class to buy with their character cash.

World series

We just got back from watching Ryan play in the 8 and under world series. We spent 5 days in at the world series while ryan's team played. It was HOT! We had so much fun and even got a special surprise from grandma and grandpa who showed up and stayed in the same hotel as us! We had originally thought they wouldn't be able to come due to the work going on at their house, but when we stepped off the elevator at our hotel, they were there holding a big sign to cheer on Ryan!

Pedicure

I have had a horrible head cold all day. I was planning to go work in my new classroom today but instead spent the day napping and sneezing. Maybe I am allergic to the thought of going back to school?!?!

Jeff and Ryan just left to go mow papa's law so Allie and I are at home giving each other pedicures.

Here is my little nail technician hard at work.

The Many Faces of Allie....

Allie had her last t-ball game tonight. She was very proud of her end of season medal.

Above are some of the many faces of Allie that I captured during her t-ball game tonight.

Baseball party night

This is the final week of baseball for Ryan's local team. 2 other moms and I planned a great BBQ party for after tonight's game. Best part it was simple but the kiddos seemed to have a blast! After the game we handed each kids a squirt bottle with their name and let them have a water fight in the outfield.



We even had bottles for little brothers and sisters. This gave the parents a chance to sit and talk and start eating ;) safe and dry and outside the outfield fence! After a long water battle we called the kids over for hot dogs, cookies, chips, brownies, homemade ice cream, watermelon and lemonade. The kids ended the evening back on the baseball field playing imaginary baseball until it was too dark to see any longer!

Fireworks on the fourth

Fireworks, hardly. After shooting just a few fireworks today Ryan had to get in some baseball practice.

He is very excited to be playing in the world series in Bixby in a couple of weeks with the Owasso rockets team.

Working it out!

We bought a pull up bar today. Allie is an animal and has done at least 50 pull ups this evening. We have to help her and we can't get her to stop!

Ryan was a little more hesitant but he did do a few. He wasn't as excited about it as Allie was.

Soak up the sun

Yes, I forgot sunscreen. Ryan thinks my sunglasses tan line needs to be fixed. He told me tonight I need to make sure I take off my sunglasses outside or maybe go to a tanning salon to fix around my eyes!

Can u see what is missing?

This is the left side of my text book for diverse learners



And directly across from that page is the right side of the book



Unfortunately, i discovered this DURING my open book test when three questions were about information on pages 415 to 438! Guess that is what i get for saving $100 on my used textbooks from amazon.com!

State documents

Jeff and I both got paper from the state of Kansas today. One piece of paper brought good news and the other was kind of a bummer.



In case you couldn't tell, the paper on the right is mine and it is my teaching license renewal. The paper on the right was issued to jeff by the kansas highway patrol and is a speeding ticket.

Covered clothes pins

These are so easy, I got a little carried away!



You need wood clothes pins


Mod podge



A paint brush and some cute paper.

Trace around the clothes pin on the paper and cut to size. Apply mod podge to one side of the clothes pin



the position paper on clothes pin and press firmly.


Give a final coat of mod podge to seal the top.


When dry, sand edges (to remove any over hanging paper) and ink if desired.

I applied magnets to the back for some


And have plans for others as photo board pieces, advent calendar parts, chore chart parts, etc.

Simple and pretty!
