Wild color Wednesday...

 We were thisclose to a snow day today (not really but a girl can dream) so I had to wear boots because there is snow on the ground... these cute little boots were on Clearance clearance clearance (last chance!!) at Marshalls.. 12.00... I am usually not a big fat of little booties like this as my legs are so short and stumpy... but these are ok.. changing things up a bit...

Friday's Giveaway!!!

Hey y'all!!! Friday is the start of my giveaway!!! This is what is up for grabs!! I saw my girl Susan wearing it and it is soooooooo cute!!!

Amazing Amazon!!!

10 and 2

                                          Three groups of four

Put it together..

I ordered this on Amazon yesterday!!! and here it is in the snowstorm!!! This is a 100 bead rack... it is one of the most powerful tools I have ever used for addition with first graders... the one I have currently is red and white but any two contrasting colors works.. heres how it works... its 5 and one.. 6.. you push over ten.. then add 2 they see the ten and the 2 see twelve.. then they start adding and seeing the beads.. it is soooo powerful I've also done this with groups like 3 groups of 4 put it together.. 12....missing addends be damned!!!

an unwanted??? snow day...

Scarf: Target

top: Target c/o Salvation Army

this is again.. me on my own.. I took this in the girls bathroom... they have a stepstool I took advantage of...

 

ugggghhh!!!! my teacher friends know how few and far between days are when you go to school... have no students and your institute day is super short so you can just get all the stuff you have wanted to get done since... oh.. August.... and now you FINALLY have all the time in the world to get it done... well that was supposed to be today... and here comes winter!!!! I got rushed right out of the building right when I was hitting my stride.... girrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllll.... I love a snow day as much as anyone... but not when I'm already AT school!!!!

The bass ackwards way to do things...

                                                 The BEFORE.....

                                               The AFTER... yay!!
My hubsband and I are NOT who you would call Mr and Mrs.Fix it.. and if I took pictures of how this sink got from the before to the after... y'all would call the DIY network for an immediate and emergency intervention!! Let me just say.. the journey may not have been pretty.. but the outcome...preeeeettttttyyyyy.....
Today I am linking up with rolleduppretty.com...

The best I could do on my own...

This is NOT a good pic for you today.. I will try to do better.. my hubsband is my photog and he was in the shower when I needed him.. he was afraid the camera would slip and it would be some kind of x-rated photo of him in the shower... so I was on my own...

 ok.. these slipper/boots are a real steal... I literally put these boots in my cartat Target about a month ago and then put them back because I'm sure I was over my Target limit as usual.. SOOO glad I did!!! Because here they are at Salvation Army for 5.06!!! Yay!!! Look what I got!!

 

 I never saw this at Target.. because it was probably NOT in any clearance section.. but originally 59.99... I got it for 30.00...pretty good!!!

Today I am linking up with Thetinyheart.blogspot.com for their "look What I Got" challenge.. Heres what I got!!

What do you look at when you go to the bathroom?

I go on ALOT of blogs.... and the bloggers I go on have a very good handle on photography.. not this gal.. I am photgraphically illiterate.. it took me like 5 shots to figure this out.. but this is what I look at when I go to the bathroom.. I feel it keeps my attention...
