Weekly Wrap-Up November 11-16

On Monday, we had an extremely meaningful and nice Veteran's Day program at my school.  All the students participated, and I think all the Veterans in attendance felt very honored and appreciated.  My kiddos made me very proud! 

Tuesday was Strengthening Families again, and only have 1 more left!!  Hard to believe it's almost over!

On Thursday, Megan and I had a much anticipated Buffalo Wild Wing date accompanied with some DE-LIC-IOUS Cold Stone.   I can still taste it... yum!

Then we went back to the house to watch some of The Office since Megan is working her way through the seasons.  Nellie really loves her aunt Megan!  She was so rotten cuddling up to her and begging to be petted!
On Saturday, Zach and I went hunting in the afternoon.  We walked around a field and finally sat down.  Less than three minutes after sitting down, Zach whisper-yells that he sees a deer.  I had my binoculars out and watched it carefully while he scrambled to get out his shooting sticks and get sighted in.  It was so special, because it was actually the first deer I've seen him shoot.  All the other times it was either me shooting, or we just didn't have any luck.  A few short minutes of looking later, and we found our guy.
My dear and his deer! : )


We teased my Daddy that he was supposed to get the deer in the picture, too!


After our exciting, yet short (Yay!), hunt, we ate supper at my Mama and Daddy's and made pretzels!!  So now I know I can always be a pretzel twister at the mall, if worse comes to worse!! ; )

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

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

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
