Wild Week, Target Finds, and Summer Goals!

This is how I ended my week last Saturday! The Dirty Dash! It has become a tradition for my friends and I to run it in the Spring. We are planning a couples (should be interesting:) for the fall Dirty Dash! 10k of mud and obstacles. If I didn't have such awesome friends...I probably wouldn't do it. I am not high maintenance at all, but I really don't like to get dirty!:) If you haven't tried a mud run before I would encourage you to get together a fun group of friends and go for it! You see people of all skill levels, so not being in ideal running shape is NOT an excuse!

So three of my bins that I posted about a couple of weeks ago went to organizing school supplies (yes I have them at home too,) art supplies, and flash cards! I reorganized my entry way closet (which has been a goal of mine for 6 months) the other day and it took me over an hour! To those with OCD: I understand that this is not perfect....I call it functional organization!:)

................The best part about using these bins for personal use was that I had to go back Target to replace them! I have a serious problem with their $1/$3 section! My new find.....

These mini-lights are beyond cute and I love the colors! I can't wait to hang them in my classroom!

I purchased this garland to decorate for Father's Day (with matching balloons and straws....I have a problem!:), but plan to hang it in my classroom as well. I have to admit that my classroom is not the most over-the-top perfectly decorated classroom, but I do think that creating an aesthetically pleasing room does help with classroom management. If you create a place where the students want to be they spend less time thinking about places they would rather be and more about what they could be learning!:) 

One of my Summer goals is to workout 5 times a week. So far, so good! I'm actually loving having the gym built into my morning schedule! My hard work has to happen now so that I can maintain during the school year! While I'd like to workout that much in during the rest of the year.....It just isn't possible. Working full time, having a family with two active boys, and the fact that the gym is 25 minutes away makes it harder to put it high on my priority list!:) Next week is going to be tough! 4 days of Professional Development from 8:30-3:30 is going to make things interesting!
