Weekly wrap-up August 11-16

Sunday we went to church and then ate at Mama Joyce's.  I took a nice long nap when we got home and soaked up every last minute before the first day of school!  I got really excited to see my kids the next morning. 

Monday was the first day of school and I started bright and early with my first bus duty of the year.  I got so much done in my classroom and got some new things assembled!  When I'm totally finished with my room, I will post pictures since it looks a lot different from last year!  We went to Qdoba that night to celebrate the first day.

On Tuesday after school I took care of something that has slowly become an issue for the last 6 months.  I went to the eye Dr.!  If you know me at all, you know I've always prided myself on my 20/20 vision.  Well, that era of my life has apparently come to an end.  My two new pair of glasses should be in sometime next week.  I'm sure it was quite funny to watch me pick out my frames.  I was so incredibly picky and though everything looked bad, and the girl helping me told me everything looked good.  I was getting all worked up!  Let's hope they look good!  That will be the determining factor if I post pictures or not!  I am pretty excited to see how I look in them.... and also, just to be able to see! Haha!

On Wednesday after school we went to Olive Garden for Suzanne's 21st birthday!  Then everyone came back to our house to do presents and cake!  As you can imagine, Nellie simply thought everyone was there to see her. 





Polo shoes from us!




Nellie was being ridiculous with her Uncle Ross. She was throwing herself all over him!


Rotten girl!








New coach bag!


Happy 21st birthday to my favorite sister, Zach's favorite sister-in-law, and Nellie's favorite aunt!

Thursday night we went to Lowe's to pick out Tile for our bathroom floor and our new vanity.  We decided on both and that in itself thrilled me.  It's all currently in our living room and Zach hopes to get it finished next week! Yay!  I can't wait till all is said and done and I can show it off!  It might be a while still until we get the walls all finished!

That brings us to tonight. I made sloppy joes and lemon pie for supper and drank like half a pot of coffee during the whole process!  Oops!  Zach got really sunburned today and is sore from hauling logs so we have literally just lounged around and I have gotten super caught up on blogging!  Go me!!! : )  Now he is of course wide awake after lying in bed for two hours and I am still not calmed down from all that caffeine.  Although, I get to sleep in tomorrow, so it doesn't even matter what time I get to bed!  That's what I call an awesome Friday night.  Are we old, or what? : )

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.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t
