What a great feeling to get up on a Friday morning and not have to rush around to get the morning have-tos out of the way and go to school. When this rare gift occurs, Tucker and I get to walk the nature trail and witness the sunrise...
So. Lovely. I miss the sunrise. I'm always in the building before the sun comes up. Sigh.
Of course, I could do without those stupid power lines, but the sky was beautiful.
One of our local news stations hosts a weekly segment during the school year called, Cool Schools. Our school was their chosen school this week. This is not our first time being selected. We have parents who are always singing our praises and nominating us for things like this. It's really nice but, if you're like me, camera are to be avoided. So I did. I'll post the video next week if I am allowed.
I will say that this is the news station I watch in the mornings before I head out to school. I like the camaraderie between the team but, mostly, their weather dude, Josh Marthers, gets the weather right way more often than any other station.
I started walking Tucker again in the late evening. I need more steps. Some of y'all might remember that I bought a FitBit a few months back and, while I find it to be extremely accurate, I find I am not coming close to the 10,000 step mark even with all the walking I do at school. So I'm 'stepping' it up...hahahaha- see what I did there? :)
This was faculty meeting week and, while I HATE those darn things, this one was interesting.
Halloween is only one week away. When the lovelies were growing up, we had such fun with costumes. My mother almost always made them and coming up with a theme was big fun. One of my favorites was the year Breezy was Alice and Deanie was the White Rabbit:
This year, Breezy and her friends are dressing up as the Wonderland crowd. That's Breezy in the picture, as Alice, and her friend, Erin, as the Mad Hatter. My, how things have changed. LOL
That's about it for this week. Y'all have a great weekend!
Faculty meetings! Ugh. I don't miss those things.
ReplyDeleteAdorable costumes on your girls. Our son and DIL were Alice and the Mad Hatter one year, too... I thought the same thing--times have changed! Ha.
Enjoy your day off. The weather is wonderful here. I hope it is the same where you live :)
The weather is delightful! Finally. It took forever to get here but it did arrive. I've had to put on long sleeves to walk Tucker in the early morning hours. l LOVE it! Glad you're having it nice too! Faculty meetings are the worst!
DeleteEnjoy your day off from school and practice being retired. Used to dress our kids for Halloween. Now I am just lazy.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm having a wonderful day! I have been lazy for a while but this year even I am dressing up. LOL
DeleteAlice's dress went through the dryer accidentally, I see...LOL! They look adorable...:)JP
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! I said it looks like she's gone into the French maid business. LOL Thanks! :)
DeleteWhen I lived in Charleston, I used to watch Josh M the weatherman!! He was good too. I'm so glad you got a nice day off with a beautiful sunrise to boot. We do have some beautiful sunrises living on the coast, don't we? I just love the photo's of the Halloween outfits, old and new. The lovelies are just lovely! So is their Mom! Love ya XX
ReplyDeleteI love him! He's the best! Yes we do have some lovely sunrises. You're too sweet, Barb! Love ya back!
DeleteMy husband has a fit it and it is a great incentive to get more steps in your day. He'll walk around the block a few times at the end if the day just to get it up to 10,000. Love your "then and now" pics!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to give it a concerted effort to get up to the 10,000 mark. Wish me luck! Thanks!
DeleteI figured your day-off gift would be sleeping-in. You must be one of those morning people I've heard of.
ReplyDeleteBoth costumes are great but I do like the little Alice and her rabbit sister.
Oh, you are so right about how times have changed and how those kids grow up. Very cute pics of the kids in the costumes.
ReplyDeleteBeing a morning person myself, I love a beautiful sunrise! Yours is gorgeous and I wouldn't have noticed the power lines.
Congratulations on your cool school
Yes times change, the way children grow up changes sometimes for the better but often not
ReplyDeleteThe little bunny costume photo is adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the costumes - then and now!! Nice that you had Friday off (I did too!). I'm catching up!!
