Tell me more please!

I am linking up with Step into 2nd Grade with Mrs. Lemons so you can learn a little more about me. 

1.  I have the most amazing son.  His name is Liam and in September he will be 4 years old.  He is so super duper smart and makes each day exciting.

2.  I enjoy making pictures in black and white with a little bit of color pop.

3.  I went to Bowling Green State University in Ohio for my undergrad.  Goooo Falcons!!

4.  Ever since I was a baby I have loved Snoopy and I still do.  Snoopy has always been a part of my classroom.  They are the only students who know who he is.

5.  We have had a black lab for 7 years named Charlie.  He is the biggest lab you have ever seen but he thinks he is a lap dog.

6.  I watch the Young and the Restless pretty much everyday.  I found out someone was going to be close by so I just had to go meet him.  I actually ended up not liking him so much.  During the pictures he was taking he would have his hand in a fist behind the persons back.  He just didn't seem very friendly.  I was very disappointed.  Do you know who it is?

Me and?

7.  Every year at our school we always have a BIG Halloween Parade.  Everyone dresses up.  It is so much fun.  It is always a HUGE deal for the teachers because their is a costume contest.  Beside dressing up for school my husband and I usually go out for Halloween.  I guess we like the night because we get to be someone or something else for the night.

8.  When I was in elementary/middle school I remember going to my first concert at King's Island.  It was a NKOTB concert.  Since the New Kids have came back, I have been to their shows again. I guess you could say I am a New Kid groupie. :)

9.  My favorite thing to do when I go back to Ohio is walk barefoot in the grass.  There is just something about walking around barefoot in soft grass.  You don't have to worry about red ants and sand spurs. Ahhh!!!!

10.   Every year at my son's school they have a Bonnet Parade.  We have to make a bonnet for him to wear in the parade.  Out of three years, we have received 1st place 2 of those years.  So 2 out of 3 isn't bad.

 

 

Monday Made It! #5

Today is Monday, so you know what that means.  I am linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It!!  I love seeing what everyone has been working on.

This year I am having a new theme in my classroom so I needed to make new curtains.  I just love how curtains make the room feel more homey. 

This first picture is the finished curtains laying on my couch.  I was just making sure I liked them.  (Yes, that is Michael Phelps in the background.  He just won another race) :)

Then today I wanted to try them out in my classroom to make sure they would work.  This is how they will look closed. 

Here is how they all turned out.  I like them.  Now I need to work on some curtains for the top windows.

Hop on over to 4th Grade Frolics and see what else terrific teachers have been working on this summer.

P.S.  I noticed I passed 500 followers!!!  I just can't believe it!! I feel so honored that 500 people would want to read what I write.  Thanks so much!!  I seems like I just had a giveaway for 400 followers so I will have my next one at 600.  So, whenever I reach 600 be on the look out for a giveaway!!
