So, there's no denying it now. Summer. is. over. This has been one of the best summers in recent history (which, I might add, is fleeting) and I've really tried hard to ignore the fact that I have a real job to return to in August. But I've been feeling guilty, too, because I haven't done a darn thing (that's almost true) this summer to prepare for teaching this fall. What is more accurate, I guess, is that I haven't done as much as I usually do to prepare for August. So I'm feeling the need to show some sort of productivity from the last 70 days of summer vacation (I feel a Phineas and Ferb title sequence coming on here).
So, here's what we did:
Went to Nebraska and hung out at Mama's Casa located on the new street that has been repaved (ironically in Dad's honor).
Did some science experiments in our cool goggles. Safety first!
Coached some t-ball....
Spent two weeks at swim lessons so that we could finally get the chance to jump off the diving board...
Went to a Rangers baseball game in miserable heat...
Hung out with Grandma and Bobbi at the Botanical Garden in Fort Worth...
Saw the Mighty Mississippi....
Played some t-ball...

Went to Vacation Bible School....
Played in the rain (does anyone remember what that is?)...
Celebrated Peyton's birthday, and Presley's birthday....
And...went to Denise's to swim, went to Stovall park pool to swim, went to Randol Mill park to swim, attended the Texas PTA conference, worked on PTA stuff for 2010 and 2011, painted my classroom walls...cleaned up a half a gallon of red paint in the hallway outside of my classroom....ran with Mary and Karen...tried Insanity for the first time....worked on my Mary Kay business...helped many girls with their volleyball skills...helped Denise's girls with their volleyball skills...Parker lost two teeth...got all of our family pictures taken and out of the way...worked on Presley's scrapbook...played with the kids. A lot. And that, my friends, might have been the best part of all.
