Friday!  It has been a very short week, but it still all seems like Friday is so very far in the distance all week long!  I am linking up with the always fabulous Five for Friday from Doodle Bugs Teaching.

Thank you KB Connected for the Chalkboard numbers!

We started the week off with a visit from our nephew, Noah.  He has never spent the night away from his mom and dad, and we gave his parents a much deserved night off.  We also spoiled him rotten of course!  We took him out to ice-cream.  He said, "Look at all the colors!"

We let him get a sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top! I love being an aunt!

I finished up my Read and Respond Journals for the year.  I have been using the first set with my kiddos so far, and I am loving the results!  Lots of great thinking and writing about their at home reading!

 

Child mishap # 1 - Remember that snake I told you about last week? 

Yeah, the one that my son won.  Well, the snake is an escape artist and has wandered out of his tank and is wandering around my home somewhere right now as I speak.  We have been on the hunt for a day and a half now, but can't find him - ARGGGHHH! Can you say sleepless night?

Child mishap #2 - Well, if I'm not going to get any sleep anyway, it seems perfectly reasonable that my youngest child should stumble into my room puking at 3:30 in the morning.  So, I got out of bed to wash sheets and scramble to make sub plans, because of course I haven't done that thinking I wouldn't need a sub this early on in the year.  But, on the bright side, I got an extra day off this week.  Too bad it was spent trying to avoid find a snake.
