School, baseball and Mrs. Crabbypants

The school/studio/everything room needed help.


                It's just not possible to work and learn in a pig pen
           environment.


               The girls and I finally have things cleaned, sorted, and
          organized.
          We'll see how long that lasts.

Our new curriculum arrived the other day.
A World of Adventure for 4th-8th graders.
I am anxious to open the box and take a peek.
I am curriculum junkie and I'm not ashamed to admit it.


                 The only problem is... we are still finishing up last 
           year's work.
           I am not a diehard teacher.  It just doesn't work for us.
                               


                               We went to a baseball game the other day.
                     Seeing friends and eating junk food was fun 
                     but otherwise the girls were not impressed.
                     (I read a magazine.)

 
                            Some of us whined because it was so hot.
                  When I got home in the a/c I was much happier.


                                         Summer volunteering ends this week.
                           So does swim team.


                                 I can sleep late again.


                                                      No more Mrs. Crabbypants.

    Your school room is SO cute! I won't be taking any pictures of mine. :-) It needs some serious help.

    Love the school room--especially the pink desk. I've been wanting to paint Anna's desk pink. I just haven't gotten around to it.

I can imagine you all there now doing school work :) Jessica adores your pretty lampshade :) Glad your routine is back to normal and you can sleep in a bit longer. Like Michelle I can't imagine you being Mrs Crabbypants!

    I need those desks... And a big room, to fit them I'm, how awesome is that? I hope it stays organized for you, I totally understand it being impossible to learn in a pigpen. I can barely function nicely in one!

    It'll be fun to read more posts, I like your open/honest style of writing.

    Following from the crew! :-)

    I LOVE your lamp!! It's adorable..If you made it I would love to know how..
    I sure wish I'd known you were doing a World of Adventure...I have it here and have been trying to find someone who would want to use it:) You could have got mine....If you know anyone else that likes that...I have one.
    The room looks lovely. Love the table too!!
    I just have to ask...do you leave your tree up year round and decorate it according to season? Just happened to notice :) I have left mine up for a very lengthy time and decorated..till my husband said please take it down..And this yr..we had Maci and so I sort of had too:)
    Love you!! Jerelene
