Five For Friday {What Day Is It Anyways?}

I love summer...  I didn't even realize today was Friday until I saw another person's Five For Friday post!  Is it Friday?  What the heck is today's date?  I dunno...  who cares... IT'S SUMMER!  Ok... let me reel that back in... check the iPhone... yep... totally Friday (the 21st for anyone needing to know!)... and I'm linking up with Doodlebugs! 

1)  Last weekend we had a spontaneous family trip for Father's Day...  packed up the kidlets and headed towards Atlanta.  We had no plans other than seeing Superman @ IMAX.  Although I secretly started planning a hotel stay near IKEA {let's keep that between us}.  We hit up Target, IKEA, went to see Superman, went swimming at the hotel... and the boys were DYING to order room service...  We let them jump on the beds... they were in little human HEAVEN! 

view from our balcony... the boys were awestruck!

Lunch @ an awesome pizza joint... brick oven anyone? 

That's right... this easel came home... along with many other classroom purchases! 

2)  I got a box from Books a Million this week... man, I love getting packages.  I have been wanting to read Teach Like a Pirate by Dave Burgess since I heard other bloggy friends saying what a great book it was.  I have started it and am really liking it so far... stay tuned for more reflection later (TBA..hehe)

3)  I went on a spontaneous ride along yesterday with a co-worker to drop one of her kidlets off at camp.  We left for Asheville, NC (about 5.5 hours from here) yesterday around 7am.  We shopped, had a yummy lunch at Farm Burger (highly recommend), got pedicures... stopped at the farmers market... then crazily decided to go ahead and drive on back home last night around 930pm.  I climbed into bed at 315am this morning.  I am draggin' people...  BUT... I did buy a new pair of Chacos on the journey... and that makes my heart sing! 

4)  I am trying to get organized..... with my electronic files.  The files are winning.  I am transferring all my "stuff" to an external hard drive... and I have decided I am a PDF hoarder {hangs head in shame}.  I also met with my team this week to chat about this school year... there's nothing quite like putting pen(cil) to paper and making a good ol' fashioned list! 

5)  I also ordered a Silhouette Portrait and it was delivered today.  It is still in the box... we are just staring at each other!  ... and I may have forgotten to order the vinyl..... 

I hope y'all have had a great week... and that your weekend will be amazing!  Remember that if you use Google Reader to catch up on all your bloggy favorites... it is going away.  You can keep up with me by checking out the Blog Lovin' link on my sidebar!
