Our House

We are putting our house on the market.

It's pretty much ready to go.

I have been repainting because a fresh coat of paint is always good.

I have been packing because LET'S DO THIS THING!

I have put a lot of time and effort into the basement because that is where it's been the most neglected. I hate basements. I threw out a ton of stuff which Harry is grateful for. Harry put up a new handrail- we got rid of ours when we moved in a treadmill. Harry fixed the ceiling tiles that randomly fell down one day two years ago.

I have plucked every weed from our yard. Literally every weed. Weeds haunt me. They are the only thing I'm OCD about. I even have dreams about those things!

Our house is looking in tip top shape!

This was obviously during the process of cleanup and staging. SO cute though. Biebs fell asleep in the bins.

Harry tore the sleeves off one of his t-shirts and made me a work shirt. It's my favorite.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Back in the spring, I was planning to do a read aloud. I decided to use one of my favorite books, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. I didn't want to just read a book, I wanted a fun activity too and thanks to Pinterest, I found this.

Ideas for my student example:

I wish it would rain Kit- Kats because I already own two kitty cats.

I wish it would rain Strawberries because I love them berry much.

I wish it would rain Snickers because then you could snicker at all my jokes. 

(Insert uncontrollable laughter) C'mon, this stuffs gold!!

I ended up going with the Strawberry one because I knew the 2nd graders would get that one however, I love the other two because they are so much more original.
