Weekly Wrap-Up

Another week has come to an end (actually, two weeks have come to an end - if I'm being honest...)

Was anything productive accomplished this week?  You betcha!

  • watched the Wedding Planner and teared up like I do every time
  • went to Iowa City to visit Katie and Brandon in their new apartment to prep Katie for the first day on her new job (note - prepping Katie for the new job is code for "went shopping all afternoon")
  • Read Fifty Shades of Grey
  • decided on a color scheme for my classroom this year - I'm doing lime green, red, and black
  • cheered on my favorite driver at another weekend of figure 8 racing (picture)
  • drove all around the countryside scouting crops and feeling completely sick to my stomach every time I came up to a new field... man do we need rain!
  • swung through Cedar Falls on my way back from Iowa City to get 4 Queens, of course
  • made fun pens for my students to use when writing or the week after they ace a spelling test (picture)
  • spent a lot of time in Minnesota
  • changed my own oil.  (Yes, you read that right, I did it!  Tim coached me through the whole thing, but even when I whined he made me do each step by myself!)
  • helped bale hay... a lot of hay
  • helped Tim do chores for his neighbor's 160 little Holstein calves - so cute!
  • checked one of the baby calves temperatures
  • road along while we combined oats
  • drove the grain truck home from the field AND backed it into the machine shed
  • made pillows for my kids to use as comfy reading spots in my classroom this year (picture)
  • went to a few garage sales
  • stopped by school and was like a little kid on Christmas opening up all of the boxes containing our new math curriculum
