Everyone Loves Friday

This conversation took place in my class today:
Boy 1: Friday is my best friend!
Boy 2: where is Friday?
Boy 3: Hey, today is today!

I'm not 100% sure what that means but today certainly is today and that day is FRIDAY, our best friend!

No pics of students allowed so here's our awesome word wall!

Friday Letters

Dear Friday you may be bringing a lot on this weekend but I'm so glad you're here! Dear Week you've seemed so long and busy that this morning I washed my entire body with shampoo and then tried to open my classroom with my house key but I forgive you since it's friday! Dear Mallory you had some awesome toenail polish on the other day! Thanks for the neon inspiration. Dear 77 Please give us traffic free and cop free travels. Dear (Chase's) Grandma  I hope you get back to feeling well. We're excited to see you...very soon!! Dear Homework go easy on me these last three weeks. I learned my lesson to ease into a program rather than try to overachieve...although that's pointless now unless I start another Master's degree, yeah right!! Dear Girl's Small Group I've really enjoyed our time together so far. Keep the good conversations coming! Dear Husband you've been amazing since I started classes. Thank you for all of your help around the house. Thank you for understanding my slow and steady work habits and giving me tips to speed up the process. Dear Friday Letters I've finally decided to jump on the band wagon...I just enjoy reading everyone else's so much that I figured it was high time I gave you a whirl. Dear Readers I have not been very consistent lately so I'm thankful to all of you who have stuck around. I feel so honored that you take the time to stop by! Have a fabulous Friday!!

Linking up here

September 11th

During our trip to NYC we visited

 the area where Ground Zero is located. 

A nearby church (visit them at trinitywallstreet.org) 

has an amazing memorial 

to those who lost their lives 

and 

to honor that time of our history. 

Different stations around the sanctuary allow you 

to remember precious lives

to relive the stories of unity and support

to light a candle in prayer 

and

to take a ribbon proclaiming
"for a world of good." 

God

comfort and give peace

to all of us impacted by this day

Amen

Sorry the writing is blurry, it explains that ironworkers recovered steel from the rubble to create symbols of hope.

Pool It Together

Over the weekend some friends of ours had a pretty rad idea!! A large out building stands right by their outdoor pool so we set up a projector and watched JAWS while lounging in the pool. Talk about atmosphere!! I jumped, I yelled, I squirmed, I jerked (not the dance). Did I mention that was my first time seeing the movie? Pretty unforgettable...not to mention I'm slightly terrified of sharks!!


Awesome Labor Day Weekend shindig even with the two hour search for Chase's lost keys!!! We couldn't have done it without the help of our great friends!! Thanks a ton for a fun time!!

Favorite Things: August

WOW!! With August being a half summer month and half school month I feel like it lasted the same as two months! Which is perfectly fine with me because I LOVE summer and all of its goodness!!

My fave things of August

1. Coconut M&M's
If you haven't had them yet you've gotta try them.


2. FROYO: Sweet Frog specifically

This last month I had a renewed passion for my spring love!!

3. The Rolo McFlurry 
One of those limited time only offers...probably good because I might eat them way too much!!

 

I promise I do more than eat so my final favorite has nothing to do with food except that we ate a lot of delicious food while we were at the beach.

4. Our family Vacation

Get all the dets here!!

I really love this link up!! Thank you to Dancing with Ashley for putting it out there!

I especially love what she did with Favorite Things this month, very creative blog!!
