Where Have We Been??

No, we did not fall off the face of the earth!  No, we did not quit teaching. And no, we did not run away to a tropical island!  Although that would have been nice. ;)

Last year was quite a year for both of us! Emily had unexpected surgery in November, which kept her out for a while. December is quite a crazy month for the education world and we were consumed in all that it offers!  Emily's hubby had back surgery in January and he was out for 12 weeks! Once again blogging took a back seat....  As Emily only had enough energy to work, microwave dinner, and put everyone to bed (with maybe a bath).

To top it all off, it was one of those years where our students needed every bit of our energy while at school.  I mean....every bit!  Some days we were doing cartwheels to keep them focused....if you know what we mean!  Kerry spent the year navigating a new relationship, travelling, and just relaxing in every free moment! Needless to say we have neglected our blog and are so sorry for that.  Below is a funny ecard that sums up the year (not just Halloween!).  :)

So today we start back blogging and we promise to keep up!  We are so excited to start another school year.  :)

We will leave you with a few pictures from our summer.  I hope everyone out there enjoys their final days, it's back to school time!  Ready or not, here they come!

Thanks for reading!  Have a great week, yall!!

"Meet the Teacher Blogger" Linky!

Friends.  Oh, friends.  It's been a year since we logged into this little blog and I couldn't even remember how to do it!!  I texted Emily about 5 times to try and figure this out.  But here we are here!  And hello!  We have missed you all!  Rest assured .... we have been stalking you reading your blogs, but we sure haven't been blogging ourselves.

We thought this would be the perfect time to start back up!  We are thrilled that Stephanie from Falling into First had this great idea!  Join in on the fun if you haven't already.

IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

I honestly don't even know!  A Spanish teacher?  But that's a teacher so that's cheating.  Can I get paid for drinking coffee in pajamas whilst watching Good Morning America then Kelly and Michael straight into Hoda and Kathie Lee?  And the real question is ... can I do all that while NOT being Tardy for the Party?  Because, yep.  I watch that one, too. :)

THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.

Loyal. Patient. Happy.

 

FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"

"Oh, your child didn't have any issues with that last year?"
 

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?

All my friends and family!  And maaaaaybe George Clooney?  ;)

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?

She works hard for the money!   It just *might* be the theme song of all teachers!

 Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?

 Reading minds, wouldn't life just be so much easier?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now it's Emily's turn! Keep on reading!! (Wait Kerry took all the good ones!!)

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

"Well at least YOU would never do that!" -My mom after I complain about something someone did.

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 

"R E S P E C T"- Aretha Franklin
I just wish to bust it out and sing as loud as I can!!

 Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?

I would say morning, but my husband would say night owl.  I get a lot done in the morning, laundry, dishes, lunches, sometimes even dinner...however I don't like talking till it all is done and I have had my coffee.  I can be a night owl unless I succumb to bed as I am putting my little ones to bed!

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RESOURCE THAT YOU'VE CREATED IN YOUR TPT SHOP?

Sorry I had to add 4.  We work so hard on our all our novel units.  These are just a few that we LOVE!!!

Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU!

Wow, this is a hard one!  There is so much you don't know about me ;)

I secretly could spend all day coloring in coloring books.  I just love the fact that someone gave me a picture to create and I don't have to fret about the actual drawing.  Around my house my boys don't have the patience to sit down for 5 minutes and color, so no coloring books around here!!  If so they are all super heroes!!!  

Alright, check our blog tomorrow and we will tell you the REAL reason why we haven't blogged in a year. It's worth the read!  Thanks for reading tonight!!
