My best friends little girl "C" turned two this weekend and what fun was had preparing for this special day!! C's daddy and uncle made this precious homemade hideaway and we got to decorate it for the birthday princess. I do believe that sweet girl loved it and will spend many hours cooking, cleaning, drawing, and checking out critters with her binoculars. Friday morning, Susannah (C's future aunt and one of my school best friends) and I headed over to begin the decorating process. Walls had to be painted, curtains hung, plants planted, and more. </div>

Goodness I love these girls! Erica (in orange) and I have been best friends since high school. J and I actually set her and her husband up MANY years ago. We were in their wedding and they were in ours. Our boys team rope together and we just cherish our friendship with them. Susannah (in pink) is one of my school best friends. She is going to marry Erica's brother in December. I also had a hand in setting them up too. Just call me matchmaker, I know:)</div>

So thanks to Pinterest and my new Cricut...I feel like I've gone overboard in my classroom. I say "Oh, I'm done" or "I'm not going back until August 16th", and then I'm making something else and making a trip to Bell's. What is it with this summer??? As you know my husband broke his leg and is doing soooooo much better so I can't blame it on him anymore. It was fun crafting around the house with him down and out but now I think I'm just obsessed with finding new, cute things to do in my classroom. Here are a few pictures...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Um yeah...how cute are pictures going to be with sweet smiles of my kiddos using this oversized picture frame!?! I always like to celebrate our 2nd day of 2nd grade day with activities like...counting by 2's, writing stories/reading in pairs, making words with "second grade", discussing famous pairs like peanut butter/jelly, and measuring items around our classroom that are 2 inches or 2 centimeters. I try to have a snack centered around this too...not sure what I'll do this year. </div>

Bell's Crossing is a Baldrige school. We collect lots of data and use many tools to help students organize their thoughts like Lotus diagrams, Affinity diagrams, and more... Here is a picture of my classroom data station. Right now I have up an AR chart and math chapter pre/post test graphs. I'll probably add more throughout the year! Each student has a data notebook where they graph their behavior, test scores, set goals, and more. </div>

And last but not least...I decided to change my behavior system this year and try the clip chart. I found the cutest apple clothes pins at Michael's this week and they turned out to be the perfect size. I just added numbers. I'm excited about this little change. </div>

Aside from doing school stuff...we're completely in awe of the Olympics. I just cannot seem to peel my eyes away from the TV. Gymnastics, swimming, diving, volleyball...holy cow! We have some talented athletes:) It just makes me so proud to be an American. I cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. they are receiving their medals. I'm going to miss the Olympics when they are over. Can't wait for the individual women's gymnastic finals tonight! GO TEAM USA:)</div>

For the past couple of weeks, I've gone to school for a couple of hours here and there to work. Thank goodness for my precious momma who retired after 36 years of teaching because without her...my room would still be a mess. I sometimes wonder why am I at school on a beautiful summer day when I should be at the pool but...if I didn't have my room ready before the day we HAVE to go back, I would go crazy. I like for everything to have a place and I do not like to be stressed that first week back. There is enough to do with meetings, chit-chatting with friends, and planning lessons for my students. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is where we stand right now. I have a little more to do but now I can breath and enjoy my last </div>

The first project that I worked on was making subject titles for my new essential question white boards. I've covered the white boards in my classroom this year with fadeless bulletin board paper and put these up to update each day with what we'll be studying. It turned out so cute. I'll post TONS of pics tommorow of my almost finished classroom. </div>

I made these a little more cutesy by adding ribbon around the border using a hot glue gun. Aren't they fun?</div>

The last project that I completed was a brand for a friend of J's. He needed this for a bucking horse dummy and I whipped it out for him...wow! He was quite impressed. I'll be working on J's brand soon, I'm sure! </div>

One of our Christmas presents from my precious mother-in-law was tickets to see THE LION KING here in Greenville this summer. It was amazing. The music was so good and the costumes were beautiful!!! We would so go see it again, for sure. I've been to several Broadway performances and I do believe this was my fav. Jersey Boys in NYC was priceless and we've seen CATS, MAMMA MIA, and WICKED at the Peace Center. </div>

Our two horses got out and decided to try out for the Kentucky Derby...<br />
Since my husband broke his leg, I had to do the majority of the running/chasing/rounding up in my precious "Cleopatra" shoes! Let's just say it was a sight!!! I prayed so hard that they would be easy to catch and the Lord answered my prayer after about 30 minutes of ugly running over terraces and jumping fences. The worst part was when they ran into the very busy road!! My heart seriously went into my throat...<br />
Jeremy's cousin did come help but it was J, the horse whisperer himself that led them back to their stall on his four wheeler! They are in timeout as we speak! Lol:). <br />

I'm really going to try to stay with it this time. My sweet friend Amanda, who teaches just a few doors down from me created a precious new blog... <a href="http://www.teachingmaddeness.com/">Teaching Maddeness</a>! She really inspired me to start blogging again. Her new blog is so stinking cute...she amazes me all the time! I'm going to guest blog for her next week while she's on vacay... so that'll be fun! <br />
<br />
Let's see where I should begin...<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkun9DgG-r9iu-i-t9oYTZttDlC1WZIx6zGxtX_1UyE0ZKIbFxyMT9M8tKQPY_rjk1EfXVRzNKo17YnMnOftIsUinTuwubHkQamTLdRRH4p2aa9fzDHXyrP54ySNkosiEGtjBKj55DDK0/s1600/IMG_0220.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkun9DgG-r9iu-i-t9oYTZttDlC1WZIx6zGxtX_1UyE0ZKIbFxyMT9M8tKQPY_rjk1EfXVRzNKo17YnMnOftIsUinTuwubHkQamTLdRRH4p2aa9fzDHXyrP54ySNkosiEGtjBKj55DDK0/s200/IMG_0220.jpg" width="149" /></a>The past few weeks have been a little crazy. Several of our family members have not been well and my sweet hubby broke his ankle in a horse accident. He's a team roper and for those that don't know much about that sport...the header ropes the horns of a steer and the heeler (which is what my husband does) ropes the feet. The steer tripped which caused the horse to fall. Needless to stay J's ankle/fibula was broken. Surgery was done (pins and plates-see x-ray) and now we are on the road to recovery. We've been doing LOTS of therapy at home and with a therapist so that he can be back to 100% very soon. Since he's been down and out...I have been able to do several things around the house that I've had on my summer list. I know that things happen for a reason and God timed this one perfectly. Thank goodness for summer vacation which allows me to be home to help the injured. Here are a few things that I've worked on so far this summer...<br />

Canvases to go in my classroom...I'm thrilled with how these turned out!</div>

Recently I have gotten super excited about working on changing some things in my classroom. I want to paint several bookcases and a stool so those will be done as soon as I can get into the building. Let's just say Pinterest keeps my brain going...I've found so many cute ideas recently that I MUST do! Hopefully I can accomplish them all and post when I finish!<br />

This weekend was fun... J was able to get out a little bit and that made him happy. He's always traveling to rodeos/ropings, hunting, fishing, etc. that being confined to the couch stinks for him. <br />
We did make it to a roping event to just "watch", not participate in and for me...I was able to go to a great concert last night! (Thompson Square, Darius Rucker, and Lady Antebellum) I love a good concert and especially love the girls I went with! This morning we were able to go to church for the first time in a month! YAY! I've missed it so much and it was so nice to be back in the house of the Lord. <br />
<br />
This coming week will be awesome, I am sure. A sweet little red head is coming to Camp Auntie (that's what she calls me!). We have so much fun when our niece comes to town. This year J will get to spend LOTS of time with her as well since he will be home. We're planning on going to the movies, picking from the garden, shopping a little, making a few crafts, and more...it's always a joy to have her and we make the most of every single minute. <br />
<br />
Until next time...I promise it won't be FOREVER, like last time!

It's Fill in the Blank Friday at <a href="http://thelittlethingswedo.blogspot.com/2011/07/fill-in-blank-friday_28.html">The Little Things We Do</a> and I'm linking up!!<br />1. My favorite color is pink, but I also love orange. Well, I love all colors too:) <br />2. My travel destination of choice is probably the beach. I love to sink my toes in the sand with a good book and spend time with my family.<br />3. My favorite food is hard to narrow down since I love good food. Some of my favorites are my daddy's shrimp and grits, good ol' tomato sandwiches, sushi (the cooked stuff), steak, and Raisinettes. <br />4. My happy place is on my parents' front porch swing. <br />5. My favorite saying is "bless her/him".<br />6. My dirty little secret is that I vaccum the house at least once a day. <br />7. Something friends might say about me is that I have a slight obsession with accessories:) What can I say...this girl loves earrings, rings, shoes, and more!Mrs. Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18050886423301946878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390644320021524425.post-64847472171719081392011-07-28T19:18:00.000-07:002011-07-28T20:33:54.485-07:00Best parenting advice...<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Here's another Show Us Your Life topic from Kelly's Korner...best parenting advice!</span></div></span><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I can't really give much advice on this because I am not </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">a mommy yet, but I do spend most of my days with sweet little ones </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">throughout the year.
