Teacher Appreciation Week
This week the kids took a gift for their teachers each day. I am very thankful for all the kids past, present & future teachers. It takes a SPECIAL person to do their job. I am also very thankful for all the teachers at ACES who have made this a wonderful year for the kids.
Monday they took bottles of water. I found this idea HERE on Pinterest. It is a free printable.
On Tuesday they took Kool-aid packets. I found the idea HERE but couldn't find a printable so I made my own in photoshop.
On Wednesday the took popcorn. I found the idea HERE. It is also a free printable.
On Thursday they took treat bags. Mom made these & found the idea HERE.
On Friday the took Extra gum. I found the idea HERE. I made my own in Photoshop. I forgot to take a picture before they left with them but I had Morgan send me one from her iPod.
The kids came home each day telling me what all the teachers said about their gifts. Morgan even came home one day with a thank you note from one of ER teachers.
The principal even left me a sweet comment on Facebook about the gifts.
We can't wait to get their end of the year gifts made!

Weekend Recap
Saturday I worked on my t-shirt quilt some more. I love the way it is turning out & can't wait to get it finished.
The girls worked on a special project for their mom's to take home for Mother's Day.
Sunday was a rainy day so we went & rented some movies.

Back to Reality Week
Monday was my last day off before I started my new job. I wet with the hubby to work to spend some time with Aunt Linda. We ended up going to see the oil well from the TV show Back Yard Oil.
The hubby started playing Candy Crush on Moe's I-Pod. It won't be long before he is addicted.
Tuesday I started my new job. I'm super excited. The first few days is classroom orientation.
Tuesday night I got to watch Spencer play ball. It's one of the things I will definitely miss when I go to second shift. I'm so glad I got to see this game. They played their hearts out & WON their first game of the season. They were all so excited & proud!
Wednesday after school/work the kids (and the dog) all thought they were monkeys & wanted to climb the tree.
Thursday night I was wishing I had a clone. The girls had gymnastics & Spencer had a ball game. I knew it would be the last night I got to see either before I went to second shift. The girls insisted Bobby take them to gymnastics so I went to the ball game with Spencer.

Weekend Recap
It was a LAZY weekend around our house. Saturday morning we down sized our storage building. We had a 20 x 10 and went down to a 5 x 10. We had to stack stuff to the ceiling to make it fit, but we accomplished it.
Saturday night I decided to get my t-shirts out that I have been saving & start cutting them up for my next DIY project...a t-shirt quilt.
On Sunday we went to pick up the kids & visit the in-laws for a little bit. The kids were trying to do back bends...I caught Spencer in action.
On the way home we stopped to visit my Dad & Grandma. Dad is getting around a lot better & has started back to work part time. While we were at Grandma's the kids & Bobby found some dress up accessories.
When we got home we watched a few movies. I finished cutting out the rest of my t-shirts & laid them on the bed to get an idea how it was going to look.
I have a total of 81 squares. Next step is start sewing them together. I'm planning to start sewing this afternoon.
I am excited about the week ahead. I start my new job tomorrow!! I am more than ready to go back to work. I have been off for over two months. Next Monday Bobby & I will celebrate our ONE year anniversary.

Afternoon Fun
The kids have found mom's antenna & learned to climb it. Morgan thought she was going to be brave enough to climb to the top, but she got so far & froze up. Spencer didn't make it past the roof.
When mom got home from work we went to the park to walk. I wanna start running again, but need a new pair of shows first. I will settle for walking right now, but I wanna complete couch 2K5 & run a 5K before the year is over. Now I have to commit to it!
When we got home from the park the kids played wiffle ball in the yard.
And the hubby found the kids bubbles...

Weekend Recap
Friday night Spencer was supposed to have a ball game but it was cancelled due to the rain we received Thursday night/Friday morning. We just stayed at home & did a while lot of nothing.
Saturday we went to his game.
His team hasn't won a game all year, but I can see a lot of improvement in all the boys. This is a hard year due to the fact most of them are moving up from coach pitch. They have some awesome defense...they are just lacking on their pitching & hitting. Hopefully they will continue to get better and before the season is over they can get a WIN.
Saturday afternoon I had the opportunity to take prom pictures for my little cousin. She is definitely growing up way to fast. I remember when she was in diapers...where has the time gone. These are just a few I have had time to edit...still have lots more to get finished.
Sunday it was just Morgan, Spencer & I. I cleaned house most of the day while they played in the backyard. They have started playing wiffle ball & love it. I joined them after I got the house finished.
This week we only have one night at the ballpark & one night of gymnastics. We are definitely going to take advantage of it and spend some down time at home. I'm also hoping to start my new job this week...just waiting on the background check & drug screening to get back.
Happy Monday!
