Look what I made!

So, I'm taking an overload of courses this summer and I've about lost my mind.  However, it means that I will likely be student teaching in the Spring.  THAT is what keeps me going.  So far...all As baby!  HOORAY!  Well, I'm taking a math class online this summer.  It's geometry for elementary school teachers. If you know me you know that I am NOT a mathematician to say the least.  Especially when I have to rely on my self-teaching abilities like I do in this online course.  However, there are certain aspects of this course that I'm actually enjoying.  This past week I took a pile of free newspapers from the hotel I stayed at for my friend Emily's bachelorette weekend and turned my fingers black making a geodome...you know, like the thing at Epcot in Disney World?  While I was not thrilled with the amount of papers it took and the process was tedious, I enjoyed the result and I think it was sturdy enough that my nephew could have and would have enjoyed playing in it.  I'm thinking about making another one day and then painting and embellishing it.  Perhaps with my future students?  Well, we'll see.  So, here it is from beginning to end-kind of.  Made it with newspaper, tape, and staples.  What do you think?

Fore!

Brent was given the opportunity to play golf at Sawgrass yesterday with his dad and a customer.  I took this picture from my father-in-law's Facebook page this morning.  Brent said it was definitely a challenge (Check out that green placement!), but what lucky guys, eh?  Perhaps they'll take along their lovely wives next time?  HA!

Look what I made!

I bought an 'H' from Hobby Lobby (I could spend DAYS in there!), some moss in a baggie and some lovely ribbon to make this for our front door.  It was so easy!  I just hot glued the moss to the 'H', made a bow and glued it on and then glued some more ribbon on to hang it from.  LOVE it and it can stay up for a LONG time! YAY!

I made this dinosaur for the Preschool 2 class at the Children's Center.  It is life-sized...6ft tall!  Raaar!

I made this door decor for the PreK up classroom at the Children's Center.  Our center is open all summer, so they needed something appropriate to leave up for the summer. If you can't tell, it is an ant eating a watermelon.  The kids names are written in the seeds of the watermelon and the banner that the ants are holding near the title says, "UTC PreK Rocks!"

A dinner I made and LOVED!  Bacon wrapped green beans...oh yes!  Weight Watchers twice baked potato...uh huh!  Steak...but of course (this was made by Brent because I do not trust myself with the grill).  Thanks Pinterest!
