Fall Back, Spring Forward

Even though AZ doesn't celebrate daylight savings (one of the perks of living here), I do miss AR springs -- Jonquil Festival, etc.  Rain Rain, Rain, did I mention Rain!!  Living here int he desert I feel so deprived of the water falling from the sky... what's it called again?? Oh yea!! RAIN!!!

John will be turning 46 on April 8 and so I'm throwing him a OAKLAND RAIDERS theme party -- I'm making most of the decor and they are turning out soooooooooooooooooo cool!! (pictures to come).  The banner I made is my favorite, and I can't wait to decorate the yard!!  My idea you ask?? A mini football field anyone?????  Hopefully it turns out like I have it pictured in my mind!

I even made personalized water bottle and beer bottle labels -- and food labels, as well as my own cupcake labels, as we are foregoing the traditional birthday cake and going with cupcakes (marble swirl, "black and white") and I'm swirling the frosting -- going to be sooo stinkin' cute...

My only obstacle is overcoming how to make 2 sets of goal posts.... hmmm any ideas anyone/???


Spring Break is this week and I am enjoying it so much -- doing housework on my schedule, sleeping in, going shopping if I want and having time to do things other than work, although I have to do lesson plans sometime this week.  Probably Sunday -- that's when reality has to sneak back in!!

I will be taking my 6th graders to the Renaissance Faire on March 24 -- that should be fun.  It's an annual tradition! 

My Student Council is doing such a great job getting ready for stat convention in May -- they created their own introduction and it is sooooooooooo good!! We are filming and sending it in to be judged this upcoming week -- I can't wait!!! It's going to be awesome!!! 

Well, that's everything in a nutshell -- I'll post some pics of the decor I've done in the house later on -- creating your own wall vinyl lettering has become my new best friend!  Anyway -- Love and Hugs from the desert!! Spring has Sprung!
