kissing frogs, getting our geek on, and heart melting

I feel like I have just taken a little vaycay from my blog
I have no excuses
NONE
I have been UBER busy
today I had plans with little man BUT it is RAINING
remember that word in this here blog because that does NOT happen
in my part of the woods
we were fixing to head in to stage 2 drought water restrictions and
now I think we have gotten like 7 inches in two days....
and that my friends explains why my kiddos were whack a doodle yesterday!!!

FO SHO I blame weather on their behavior
with this group it is a little harder to do that because
CRAY is our everyday but yesterday was like
CRAY CRAY on CRACK and well what else do I blame
WEATHER!!!

so what have we been up to....
2weeks worth or more
probably more

my sweet dad
had surgery...
he is on the mend still BUT doing much much better

don't you love how he has his phone 

 got my hair done again...
yes I change my hair with the months...
my hair diva is a close family friend and I love seeing her
this was on my bday
look I got my nails done too and
got a Texas mustache shirt and
AND AND I got to drive
THE JEEP!!!

 Bub has been spelling things like crazy
he loves writing his name and spelling it out with whatever he can...
I though this was CUH-UTE!!!
 had a date night with hubs downtown San Antonio...
that was fun!!!
I think I need to join an intervention for too many selflies
I take way too many self portraits...
LOL


my baby brother graduated from college...
they are sporting the UTSA ROADRUNNER sign




we found a tree frog
it was amazing...

 no worries I didn't kiss it

we got our geek on with our SUPER HERO masks
my school's field day was super hero themed...
so cool....


mom even geeked out

one of my former kiddos...love her
this was after the teachers participated in a water relay...
i got a little wet


went to the Renegade Craft Fair in Austin

 don't let that precious smile fool you...
he was a tooty toot the whole time...
seriously...



 we had a little trip to BUCEES
love that place


been reading a lot of this for night time
yes I married a geek
and it is rubbing off on my bubs
that's OK I love my little geeks


Drew taught MEMOW how to play a game on the phone


one of my sweet boys
made me this
a masterpiece made from foil
LOVE IT


we have been working on our camouflage handprints
SO FUN
it is a great end of the year project...
here is the 411
they trace their hands
and find a place in the room to pace it...
BUT first they have to make it camouflage
they LOVE IT

 can you even see this ZEBRA one???




 I will have more pics of this later because every class is doing it and then we get to go into the other classes and CHOMP their hands...
it proves that good camo helps in survival
the kiddos love this and it is a super easy and FUN activity


we also went to the art show
this cracks me up
because our art teachers were FIRED because of budget cuts last year
BUT the district required us to put together an art show anyway
IMO this was ridiculous...
our kinder teacher and a teacher's aide spent countless hours on our presentation
and it showed
ours was by far the BESTEST elementary display
the art show is staged in the local mall
BUT it had to be manned so those two stayed down there too
here are pics of what my kiddos did...



 and honestly we wouldn't have had time to do some of these pieces if it weren't for
some insane opossum dying in my ceiling
and creating a decomposing slime trail down my wall
and my class having to be relocated without any of our things
proud of my kids for their awesome works of art...
finges crossed art teachers are in our future because
KIDS LOVE ART

while at the mall
we had a little family dinner


 we stayed too late... shopping and looking
and got locked out of the store we parked at
and had to take a SPOOKY backdoor exit...
SCAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
 been doing some fun morning journals
 and this was the heart-warmng response that I got from
one of the sweeties!!!
melt my heart




 hubs knew my week was stressfull...
our scores came in and
there were all kinds of changes in who is teaching what grade
and let's just say I am the only one left in 4th
my buddies went to 1st and 3rd....
WHAAAAA
and add to that I am now the 4th grade head teacher....
NO STRESS
there were changes in EVERY grade
3 teachers are retiring
one teacher might move to Dallas
soooo see stress
add to that 2 of the teachers retiring I had my heart on Bubs being in their classes...
so I want to cry
anywho
hubs and bubs took me out...

 this is their mean face

and below is their sweet face
 love my boys....

and here Bub wanted to do a kissy fish face with me....
well I mastered it...
and note... it was Spurs Day at school


so see there you have it....
busy busy busy....

hope you enjoy your weekend...
and if you are already on summer break...
keep it to yourself... no rubbing that in
PUHLEASE because this girl is way jealous of you
