Celebrate Good Times, Come On!


Each Saturday  Ruth Ayres invites us to share and celebrate events, big or small, from our week. Looking for celebrations has certainly improved my outlook on my week. For that, I am certainly grateful to Ruth and to all of you who choose to celebrate with me.

Today I have a short list of random celebrations.

Celebration #1 - My son turned 18 on Thursday.  Time moves too quickly and it is days like this that remind me to enjoy each day with my children - even as they become young adults.

Celebration #2 - I renewed my teaching license yesterday for another five years and the process was not as bad as I thought it would be.

Celebration #3 - Our student council sold friendship bracelets during the last week of school.  I just made the deposit, and they raised over $600 which will go toward new books for our school library!  I can't wait to start suggesting titles from all of my Twitter and blogging friends!

Celebration #4 - Our pool opens Tuesday and THAT is when summer officially starts for me!

Have a great weekend and I hope you find many celebrations!

  4. It does sound like a very good week, Leigh Anne. And yes, the kids do grow up so fast. Now, my oldest grandchild will be 13 this summer! Have fun with that book ordering-just a fun thing to do!

  6. Haha, I do love that opening pool date!!! We always spend a lot of time there over the summer. Our SC sold popcorn and bought books for the library. I went on our morning broadcast and book talked some books and K-2 voted on some choices and 3-4 voted. The top vote getters were the books the SC purchased. It's exciting to see our libraries grow!

  10. Congratulations on your successful sale and redoing your teaching license. I recently had to submit paperwork to update my certificate as well. It wasn't as bad as I thought either.

    I'm looking forward to connecting this week,
    Jen
