1. Lent is here and is in full swing at the Porter house! Do you know how incredibly difficult not eating sweets is? Let me just explain...
I have the absolute best students/former students and Ryan and I always try to support whatever they are doing outside of school. This includes softball/baseball games, basketball games, buying raffle tickets, supporting fundraisers, etc. And a few months back, Ryan was stopped by one of my former first graders and was asked to buy Girl Scout cookies. Since he didn't have the heart to say no, he told her to go visit me the next day at school and I would surely buy some. Well guess who was at my classroom door at 8:00 the next morning? The sweet, precious Girl Scout with her order form in hand. So I caved in and bought some. So fast forward about a month...it's the second week of Lent and I get a visit from that precious Girl Scout's mom WITH GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. Geez. Rule #1 of Lent: think things through before giving up something so yummy.
2. My craft table is finished! My craft table is finished! Hooray! I spent President's Day out at Mom and Dad's painting the final coat on the table and it took a few weeks to get Ryan to slow down enough to help me get it loaded and delivered to our house. My craft room is a bit small, so it's pretty huge in there, but I'm certainly not complaining! I love it! My dad is the sweetest daddy in the whole world and I am so thankful that he is so talented and can make me cool things like this!
3. Mom and I traveled up to Little Rock two weeks ago to see my precious cousin, Wyatt, swim in the Arkansas State Swim Meet. He raced in the 500 freestyle and did a fantastic job! He's only a freshman, so what an awesome accomplishment! So proud of you, Wyatt! We had so much fun spending time with Landy, Cathy, and Wyatt! Lots of laughs! I can't wait for the Bahamas this summer!
4. I had the chance to give a new sewing pattern a shot. I ordered some super cute fabric online and ended up making this adorble tunic shirt for Lindy. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I'll have to try to get a shot of her wearing it one day. It's kinda long and is sleeveless, which makes it a perfect little outfit for summer!
5. The weather here has been GORGEOUS the last several weeks which made me start my summer countdown sooner. A girl can dream, right? I've been trying to get outside a lot more and enjoy the beautiful weather with sweet Bella. Come on, Spring Break!
Happy Wednesday, y'all!
