It’s coming! It’s coming! Just one more day. Amen and hallelujah!! I am so excited. I plan on working on my blog and creating several new units. I know, major plans. Don’t be jealous. It’s not Disney. If you are going to Disney, well I am jealous. Maybe not. That place is going to be packed. Lots of crazy tourist. I don’t like crazy…unless it’s my own. J I haven’t had as much time to blog as much as I want to with all of the doctor appts and funerals (geez!) but I have been taking pictures like crazy this week. I am excited to spend more time with you next week!
The weather in Texas has been cray-cray. Almost 80 degrees one day and 40 degrees the next…which means that the sweet darlin kids are off their rockers! This week we have been learning about TEXAS, our good ole state. It is one of my favorite units except we do it right after our USA unit and the kids always get the symbols mixed up. I have to say a ton of times that the eagle is not the Texas bird. J Tomorrow is Cowboy Breakfast…because in Texas we are all cowboys and cowgirls, right? LOL. NOT! It always makes me laugh when I watch the national news and they are interviewing someone from Texas. I feel like the find the most straggly (is that a word?) person with missing teeth that talks with a horrible southern accent and chews on straw. We all don’t live on the farm. LOL. Anywho…back to Cowboy Breakfast. We will make butter, eat biscuits and eggs. The kids each crack an egg. It’s a hot mess so much fun! The kids dress up and we pretend we are out on the range. I have to be honest though…I am not a home on the range kinda girl. I don’t listen to country music…I know, gasp! Surprised huh? And, I don’t have a horse and shovel crap every day. HAHA! I do say ya’ll a lot though and depending on who I am talking to my southern drawl can always be thicker. The more southern you talk the more southern I talk. I don’t know why I am like that. It drives my husband crazy. He knew what he was getting into when he said I do though. J Ok, that is all I can muster up tonight. Put a fork in me peeps…I am done. Spent. Pooped! One more day. One. More. Day!
I found this cutie patootie pic on Fabulous 4thGrade Froggies Facebook. Man, that’s a lot of f’s. J Speaking of facebook…are you a FAN? I think I am going to have a little FB fun this week. Follow my page so you don’t miss out! J Love and hugs (and if that doesn’t work…wine?)! Spring Break here I come!

Love and Hugs to you Crystal! My family is taking a vacation and my husband has outlawed computers, so I will be away from the computer for 8 days – GASP! Have a great and restful break! You deserve it! 🙂

I hope you have the most wonderful time off and I feel like you well deserve it. What spectacular packet will you create next? I will be watching and waiting… but have some fun too!
Love, Fran
Crystal says
OMGosh Fran. I have a list a mile long of stuff I want to create. There is so much I want to do. I must get some of these ideas out of my head before it explodes! LOL! We are going to go see The Lorax this week. I think the kids will all have a slumber party which I am "excited" about..wink wink. I am going to buy them all new books for their kindles so hopefully they will do some reading while I am working. Grace and I are going to get our hair done (um, these grays are out of control!) and I am sure we will do some shopping. Oh, and I promised a 3 Spoons visit, which is our fav ice cream place. Oh, I see fun in our future too and lots of naps. And, I am going to buy a treadmill…and use it! LOL!

Happy Spring Break!!! I'm on spring break as well and will be trying to catch up with the bloginess as well. But, I cant wait to see what you come up with next. Anyways, I also wanted to tell you that I had a chance last week between all the craziness to implement some of your wonderful ideas from the Everything Kinder Expo. I made up an anchor chart for the three star paper and it has been the most valuable lesson we have learned in writing all of last week!! So thanks for those wonderful ideas 😉
