School's Out for Summer!

I finished school yesterday. So in my little world, today is the first day of summer! Woo hoo!

When Steve asked me what I was going to do today, I said, "NOTHING!" My plan was just to lay around on this rainy day and be a bum.

This morning, that's just what I did, but after lunch I....balanced the checkbook, cleaned out my car, picked up around the house, did dishes, did laundry, unpacked all my stuff from my classroom and put away TONS of clothes. So much for doing nothing!

Oh well, there's always tomorrow. I will try again. :)

Ahhhh...

....7 more days of school!

How do I know?!

Well, first, I made it through my first trip to Makinac with 8 classes of fourth graders and their parents. I love that place!

Second, my lilacs and peonies are in bloom...at the same time! I am a lucky girl.

AND, third, I got my teaching assignment for next year. TECHNOLOGY! It may not be my ideal position, but it sure beats a "pink slip", and, you never know, I might just love it. :)

Last, I am up to my EYEBALLS in paperwork! So, this will be my last post until SUMMER...7 more school days. :)

Handy Hubby

So many of my posts include cool stuff Steve has made. (He also fixes stuff, but that isn't too exciting.)

Here's some more stuff! (I'm a lucky girl.)

During my spring break, we made these benches. Well...I painted....he did the rest. He also dug our new firepit and added the rocks. I love this spot...especially with a s'more in my hand.

Then, he made some boxes for a horseshoe pit, dug some holes, and added sand. Horseshoes, anyone?

For my birthday, we bought some great deck furniture. Steve didn't make it, but he put it together. :)

Memorial day weekend Steve started making his laest creation. While I was in Mackinac with my students he finishd it....a shuffleboard table!

What's next? Well, he's working on some cornhole boards and fixing a pinball machine. Who wants to come to Woods' Family Funland!?!?!
