Holy moly cannoli! We’ve already got one week of May under our belts?! Seriously?!? I’m definitely not complaining, but that sure snuck up on us! 19 teacher days left until summer bliss <3 I can hardly wait.
So yesterday, it was absolutely beautiful and my adorable hubby and I got the company tickets behind home plate for the Tribe game. I feel like it’s been forever since we’ve been to a sporting event together, (which we love to do) so it was so nice to enjoy an afternoon together at a ballgame in the sunshine no less. <3

| Absolute perfection |
Another outing that is one of my absolute favorites is to Barnes and Noble. I could literally go there for hours and just walk around, enjoying my coffee and being surrounded by books. I would be perfectly content not even spending a dime. There’s just something about a book store that makes my heart smile. I don’t know . . . Maybe it’s a teacher thing? Or just a dork thing? Regardless, I love spending a Saturday at Barnes and Noble and I got to do just that with a few of my favorite firsties whose parents bid on my auction item, “Story and a Snack with Mrs. Schroeder”, at our school’s fundraiser event.

| so much fun 🙂 |
I am truly going to miss my kiddos next year. As challenging, demanding, and exhausting of a group that they are, they’re pretty fabulous . . . and beyond adorable. . . . and HILARIOUS. But I’m always looking forward to a fresh and new incoming group of kinders ready to rock and roll in first grade with me! Let me not get too far ahead of myself here – – – still 19 days to teach and a wholeeee lotta summer to be had first! <3 But until then . . . I’ll enjoy these flowers on my desk that I got for Teacher Appreciation Week 🙂

| Thank a teacher today 🙂 |
Random topic turn . . . . I feel like I have 432890 friends who are marathon runners and I feel the need to give them a shout-out today. I was (as usual) stalking facebook yesterday, and after keeping up with your pre/post marathon posts, statuses, occasional tweets and pictures, I can’t even begin to find the words to tell you how absolutely bad ass you all are!! 🙂 Just throwing that out there. Just. Plain. BadAss. You all rock 🙂 And congrats?! I’m assuming congratulations is something one should give to a marathon runner? Well, if not – you’re getting a congrats from me anyway! Well done!
One last thing! Naturally, I’ll follow up the paragraph about exercise with a paragraph about a yummy treat that I made from pinterest! Ryan and I have also found the love for Hungry Girl recipes including Exploding Chicken Taquitos! which have officially been added to our meal rotation!
(yes, there’s a rotation:)) Last night, though, we made dessert. A strawberry, 100 calorie dessert. And I got a kick ass picture of it 🙂 (Can you tell I’ve also found the love for instagram?!) . . .
. . .we knew we would need something to cheer us up this week. We finished season 5 of Dexter. Which means no more Dexter until season 6 comes out in August. Seeing that I’m completely obsessed with this show that is a ridiculous amount of awesome, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do for the next 3 months without Dexter Morgan in my life – but I thought strawberry cupcakes would be a good place to start.
I’m gonna go ahead and wish you a Happy Tuesday – for all purposes that matter, Monday is over, and Tuesday is closer to Friday – so, yup – Happy Tuesday it is <3
