More pictures of our fall decorations!

I just found more pictures on my camera of some other fall decorations we have done and put up.

I found these fall die-cuts at our local Dollar Tree, took them home and laminated them and viola! For just a few dollars, we have a TON of decorations!

Slacking . . .

We have been so busy with school lately, that I haven't had the time to update our blog.

We have decorated the school room for fall. We made an alphabet apple tree using just poster board, and construction paper. Here's some pictures!

















I'll be updating what we've been learning and all about our apple/Johnny Appleseed lapbook tomorrow!

Our school room is complete . . . for now!

I have spent the last few days finishing up our school room. School starts Aug 31st, so I wanted to get it done.

For now, it's complete. The only thing missing is a bean bag chair that I want to put in front of the window for reading time. I'll probably pick that up this weekend.

The wall above Mackenzie's art desk is empty, because that's where her art will do that I want to display.

What do you think?













Now next week I can focus on planning out the first few lessons!

Made my own calendar for our school room!

So, after all the hassle of finding a calendar for our school room and came up with nothing, I decided to make my own!

I found the empty calendar and the numbers at a $ store. I had the calendar laminated at a teacher supply store and laminated the numbers here at home.

I also found month headers that I also had laminated.

I'm going to put this all together tomorrow on the bulletin board, but I was so proud of my work so far, so I wanted to snap a picture!

So hot . . .

I think summer has finally arrived in PA LOL. It has been so hot here the last few days and I'm ready for it to be over. Today I walked into ACMoore and smelled fall scents. That's my favorite time of year and I can't wait for it to get here.

I bought a bulletin board for our school room and hope to get started on that in the next day or two once this heat breaks. School starts two weeks from today so I've got to get going on this. I'm excited for the year to begin. Not only do I get to teach Mackenzie, but I get to learn all over again :-)

Okay, I need to find a way to cool off. Maybe we'll break out the sprinkler again!

Where has the weekend gone?

We had company come in Thursday afternoon from New York and they will be heading back home today. I've barely had any internet time and I'm having serious withdraws. LOL LOL

Hopefully life will get back to normal once they leave and I'll get focused on getting ready for school in a few weeks.

Forgot to update about the rest of vacation.

I've just been so busy and so tired the last few days, I haven't had the time or the energy to update about the rest of our vacation.

Friday was Children's Museum day. Here's a few pictures from that day.


















Then Saturday, we took the girls to the Home Depot workshop where they made their own message board. (These still have not been hung up yet LOL). Then Saturday night was take your dog to the baseball game night. That's right, the local baseball team had a night just for dogs, so we took Bonnie. I don't think she knew what was going on because she laid under my seat for most of the night. It was fun though, the girls that it was funny to take her. Here's a few pictures from that.













Now that vacation week is over, my main focus is getting ready for school. We start Aug 31st, so I've got to get the room ready.

Thursday fun!

Thursday's vacation day was spent fishing, lunch at Sara's and then swimming in Lake Erie.

The girls had fun and were plenty tired for bed.

Here's a few pictures from our day.







Today we will be going to the Children's Museum!

Fun Fun Fun!!!

Yesterday, we went and saw G Force in 3D, then to Chuck E Cheese for lunch. The girls had a good time and I enjoyed being able to relax for the day. LOL

Here's a few pictures from Chuck E Cheese!





Even daddy had fun! :)






Cashing in their tickets!


This is what they got!


Today is fishing/picnic lunch/swimming day!

So tired . . .

We got to Waldameer at 11:00 this morning, we didn't leave until about 7 this evening. That's a long day for a 5 year old . . . or a 30 year old. LOL I'm pooped and just want to get the girls to bed and go to bed myself. Because of this, I'll update about Waldameer tomorrow and probably spare you the 100+ pictures I took and only add a few here.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ . . .

See, I'm so tired I'm dozing off here.

Okay, that's it for now! I'll update in the morning.

Oh by the way, tomorrow is movie and Chuck E Cheese day. We're going to see G Force in 3D then heading to Chuck E Cheese. Of couse I won't have pictures of the movie, but I will of CEC.

Good night . . . ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Monday cont. . . .

Here's some more dog house pictures. It's still not complete. We got a late start waiting for the furniture people to come and deliver our new bedroom set. So, we'll try to finish it tonight.





Ummmmm dad, I don't think this is going to work. LOL






LOL LOL






And after all of this . . . this is where Bonnie is. LOL





Today we're going to Waldameer, a local amusement park. http://waldameer.com/
