Ten on Thursday

1. Last Friday we got to take the kids to the YMCA to swim. They had a blast and enjoyed watching all of us teachers go off the diving board!

2. On Saturday, I went to Mama Joyce's while Zach worked, and Elizabeth came over to swim! We had so much fun and got a little more tan!

3. I also mowed Saturday so it won't look so bad after we get back from vacation!

4. I got to meet my Mom and Dad's chickens (or should I say Suzanne's?) last week. They are very tame and a couple of them let me hold them.

5. Suzanne also got her first job last week. She is working a kennel helping take care of all the dogs! Welcome to the working force, Sister!

6. Saturday night we (Mama, Suzanne, and I) practiced hand bells at church with the other members of the hand bell choir for 2.5 hours. We played Sunday morning for the 4th of July and it went really well. I will try to post the videos my dad took on here later.

7. After Zach got of work on Sunday we went to his Granny and Papaw's to eat. His Aunt made Sopapilla (spelling?) and it was delicious!! I must remember to get that recipe. They also made two types of home made ice cream, but I only had room left to try the peach! It was pretty good!

8. We enjoyed a lazy day off on Monday and went to Zach's sister's house to eat that night and to set off fireworks. Aubrie wore earmuffs like you wear when you mow or shoot a gun, which I think was cute and quite hilarious!

9. At Summer camp this week we took the kids to "Bouncing of the Walls." It was a place with several inflatables that the kids could play on. I had a blast too, until I twisted wrong on one of the inflatables and heard my back go "crrrrrr-aaa-cck." If felt bad for a couple days, but it feeling some better today! So, the lesson of that is to learn when you are too old to play with the youngens!

10. Last night Zach and I went out to eat with Ryan and Kayleigh to Cheeseburger in Paradise. They were making fun of me because I always get the same burger and was reluctant to try a new kind. I'm proud to say (even if it is lame) that I did try the mushroom and swiss burger and it was pretty good! See, old dogs can learn new tricks! (Or at least try something different every once in a while!)

Hope ya'lls week has been great!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
