I LOVE classroom decorations!


To all of my teacher friends out there :) I have some exciting news to share!!!

Yesterday while shopping in the dollar aisle at Target; my favorite place to visit when I have some down time or just feel like browsing around, I found classroom stuff! Yes, the one dollar section… not the two dollars and fifty cents section, but the one dollar section :) I was so excited about my discovery!  


 

EVERYTHING in this photo was a dollar! I found bulletin board boarders, calendars, ‘today, tomorrow, and yesterday’ signs, hall passes, weather posters, and many other fun classroom accessories!

I absolutely LOVE finding deals! Especially on things that I actually need, not just see and decide I have to have ;)

First week in the classroom…


Well folks, we made it! Week one is over, and it was a blast! Who knew Pre-K could be so much fun!!! We had many adventures and I was exposed to many wonderful opportunities!


Something about walking into an elementary school everyday makes me so happy! I just get a HUGE smile on my face when I walk through the halls and down to the classroom :) I think this is God’s way of saying, I am exactly where I am supposed to be, doing exactly what he created me to do! I am overjoyed, and excited about this job!!! 



My kiddos are so sweet; I could have sworn they were perfect on the first day… now I know better! Hehe they are very sweet kids, but I definitely have my hands full for the next 5 weeks :)

I cried on the second day. School was over and one of my little girls bolted out the doors of the school and down the sidewalk straight into her mother’s arms, I followed behind and approached mom just in time her to tell mom just how much she loved her and how she loved school.. yes, I cried! It was sooo sweet! 

I can’t wait to come back next week!

Fireworks!!!

Something about a twinkle of light makes my heart melt. For as long as I can remember Fireworks, Christmas lights, Candle light and any other sweet twinkle of light has always put a huge smile on my face :)



Last night my sweet boyfriend and I had a wonderful date night at Grapevine Lake. Every Friday from May 27th through September 5th of this year the city of Grapevine holds a fireworks show on the lake. How fun is this?!!! Free fantastic entertainment :)

We enjoyed a picnic dinner and a gorgeous display of bursts of color that filled the night sky! 
Keep your fingers crossed, I am hoping this will be our new Friday night tradition ;)
