Day 229

It's Wednesday which means...comic book day. That huge Galactus box contains a very large action figure that we had to bring back with us from San Diego Comic Con last year. Justin drags the box out of his room on Wednesdays to put under his comic books for 2 reasons: 1. It keeps the comic books from getting creases from the table. 2. He thinks it keeps cat hair from getting on the books. Silly boys :/

Day 224

My Gronk book came today! If you don't know Gronk, you should. Katie Cook draws this weekly webcomic & uploads it to www.gronkcomic.com every Friday. Gronk is the cute little monster sitting in the sidecar in the picture above. This book is the first year of the webcomic. Check it out!

Day 220

This is how I feel after sitting in a 6-hour training on the first day back to work.

Day 217

T-minus 2 days until it's back to work. The fact that I went to school to laminate a huge pile of things on my last official day of summer should tell you that I'm getting just a wee bit anxious...

Wishing I was at Paradise Point with a Bushwhacker drink in my hand!

Day 211

My 2 new friends from the Borders going out of business sale (which, by the way, is not all that great considering I already got 20% off with my teacher's discount). Now I just need Elephant & Piggie and I will have all my favorite characters :)

Day 208

I talked the guys at Home Depot into cutting 12 composition notebooks in half with a compound saw so the kids this year can have mini math notebooks. Best part: They did it for free! :)

I'm cheating and borrowing this photo that someone posted to Facebook because it's just too darn cute not to use. Here's to seeing the final Harry Potter movie tonight! :)

Day 192


Even though it felt like a 104 degrees (at least...no joke) today, there is nothing better than enjoying a cookout with friends and the very talented John Sutton. I love him...so fun!

Day 191

Stitch keeps sneaking in Justin's room. He's dying to explore!
