Last day of Summer

No, I know its not the official seasonal last day of summer (When is that anyways??), but its my last day of summer defined as no work. Last week, I went into school and set up my classroom (see photos below) and I even went in yesterday but today, my last day, I said NO, no school stuff! I have thoroughly enjoyed my day. I woke up, drank coffee and watched the Today show which was all about the Olympics I watched last night. Then I continued scrapbooking our honeymoon making a complete mess of the living room. There's piles of paper, stickers, scissors of different designs, and double sided tape surrounding an empty circle in the living room where I sit and scrapbook. I need some sort of rolling table that I can move in and out of the living room. KatyISD teachers go back tomorrow for convocation, staff development, and then some work days at the end. As much as I love the summer, I actually am happy to get back to being a productive part of society, getting up early, and going to work. It was a much needed break but it must come to an end. Early morning alarms, delicious strong coffee waking me up, traffic, sweet children, lesson plans, going to bed early, routine, and more all walk back into my life tomorrow. I have loved you summer!

Here are some pics of my room...teachers if you have any suggestions or ideas, I'd love them!

Below is a picture from the door - it my desk area with school supplies, and the "Wild Wild West" word wall. Our school's theme this year is Western.

(Above) This is my reading corner with all my books and some fun "book nooks" to relax in and read.

Also, this weekend, my sweet friend Jamie came down from Dallas for the weekend. We did all the girly things that could possibly be fit in one weekend: 2 girl movies, shopping, a pedicure, yummy food, and good talking.

We introduced Jamie to Rock Band. She had never played before but she still played fabulously!
