• TGIF!!!

  So glad it is Friday.  It has been a good week--a busy and rainy one, but a good one.  I have not had much of a voice--I think it is a mixture of singing too much and allergies.  Kara said weed pollen is high right now, so that must be one of my issues! 

  I got something new this week in my elementary classroom that I have wanted and drooled over for years.  Here it is: 

  

  Isn't that the coolest rug?  There are so many awesome teaching opportunities and I am looking forward to incorporating into my lessons.  These rugs are so expensive (probably not worth it), but so cool.  I am not allowing my kids on it with their shoes on.  They have to be in socks or if they are wearing flip-flops, they have to wipe their feet with baby wipes first!  I will probably never get another one of these, so I am going to keep it clean as in good condition for as long as possible!  Here's a picture of one section of my classroom:

  

  Today I had a kindergarten student tell me he didn't need to go to music class because he already learned everything last week at music and that he knows how to sing!  He told me he was in a band!  I asked him what instrument he played and he said, "cd's".  He then started singing the Tom Petty song, "No I won't back down, no I won't back down".  WHOA!  I laughed and laughed.  Another little boy from the same class said to me after singing, "Wow, I'm pretty good at this!" 

  I had dinner tonight with Mika and Baby Eden at Papa P's.  Our husbands went together to the out of town Bearcat football game!  I am so thankful for my friendships!  Mika's husband Jeremy can always bring out the smiles in Jeremiah and they are hilarious together.  Mika and I have been friends for years and I love her bunches! 

  Tomorrow Muzzleloader heads to Oklahoma to play at a rally tomorrow night and then a church on Sunday morning.  I am looking forward to being with everyone and taking a road trip!  It should be entertaining with 8 of us in one van!  Here is a pic of the band taken a year ago. 

  

  Have a great weekend!
