Exciting Events

1. Well, the last week has been anything but boring! Last week was the first full week of school and I didn't even get hit by any cars on bus duty! That's a win/win situation! In all seriousness, I am having a great time getting settled in and getting lesson plans established for my first and second graders' reading blocks. I start with them next week.


2. Nellie has one obsession. Ice, Ice, Baby. The puppy girl will do anything for ice. She just loves it. So therefore, I love to watch her eat it. It's just too fun!


3. Today is Zach's first day back to school! I told one of the other teachers at school I was like a nervous Mama, wondering if he had gotten up on time, what he was wearing, and how his day was going. He will hate reading that! (That is if he ever reads this!)


4. Poor hubs had to go straight to work after school and will be there until 8:30 or so. I plan to have supper waiting when he gets home, though. Poor boy is gonna be tired and hungry!


5. I have been working out almost every day on my elliptical, and I already feel better. I also think I have lost some weight, but our scales are some that Grandma Scheller had, so I'm not sure how accurate they are. When I check on another pair, I will update for sure! (As long as it agrees with me! : ))


6. On Friday, Kayleigh and Ryan came over and I made Chicken Fettucine Alfredo. Zach got to make himself eggs and toast when he came home!!


7. Saturday morning we headed to Mama and Daddy's house with Nellie. They kept her while Zach and I went squirrel hunting. Zach shot one squirrel and I freaked out about all the deer ticks on me. I survived though, and it was just a little fun killing the ticks with my fingernails.


8. Saturday night we went to Zach's sister's house for supper. Aubrie was enjoying showing me their pear tree and riding her bike!



9. Zach is having surgery this Thursday to remove the lipoma (sp?) from his right under arm. We are so thankful for him to finally be having the surgery, but are still a little nervous. Please pray for us when you think of it on Thursday! We know we will feel your prayers. I will update on him as soon as he (hopefully) conks out when we get home. We hope it is not a repeat of when he had his wisdom teeth out. (He was crazy hyper, loud, and non-compliant! haha)


That's about it for this week! I don't know how consistent I will be on my Ten on Thursdays, so I may have to be innovative with my alliterations on other days! We will see, however! I leave you with a picture of our sweet girl! She was enjoying a little chew on the pumpkin juice her Aunt Suzanne had brought Mama and Daddy from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! (We had already drank it all.)

BS #3- 22 weeks

22 weeks with Reid, Savannah, and BS #3! 😍 How far along: 22 weeks  Weight gain- up 7 lbs overall. I have been eating more sweets this week and need to reign it in! Buttttt.... Exercise- Reid, Zach, Savannah, and I did take a long walk today in our neighborhood and I’m hoping to do it daily.  Most exciting thing this week- baby girl had hiccups for the first time this week and I could feel them all! Zach also got to feel her a couple times for the first time this week! Same timing as he did with Savannah! So cool! Cravings- sweet, Chick- fil- a, Parlor doughnuts  Aversions/ anything making you sick- not this week! Yay!!! Reid’s thoughts- he still likes to kiss my belly and ran in and talk to baby and tell her how precious she is! One day he told her he can’t wait to see her in October! Savannah’s thoughts- I have started asking her when she’s laying on her changing table if Mama has a baby in her belly and one day she patted her own b...

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...

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                     ...
