Good morning!  I am linking up this morning from Northern California with the Teaching Trio to bring you my Sunday Scoop!!

I have spent my spring break up here in the beautiful Sonoma County for my sister's wedding festivities!  We did her wedding shower last weekend, and I am just coming off her bachelorette weekend this morning!  During the week I had an amazing time, which you can read even more about here.

I created my Easter IN over break, so I have it all ready, I just need to finish printing and copying the response sheets for my kids!  I LOVE it, and can't wait to share the amazing Easter story with my kids!!

I'm hoping to start my summer To Do list this month.  I have a lot of ideas in my head, but I want to start getting them down onto paper so I can prioritize what I want to tackle this summer!!

I am so excited to be headed home today so I can see my husband and son!  I have spent time away from them before, but usually my husband was away too, and my kids were always with grandma and grandpa.  This type of trip was a first for our family of four!  I am hoping my husband survived, because he has to do it again in May!!  :)

Go check out the Teaching Trio to see what everyone else is up to this Sunday!

Good morning!!  I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday.  It's been a fun week so I hope you enjoy!

I am LOVING Spring Break!!  My mom, daughter and I drove to California Friday night, and we made it by 2:30!  We threw my sister a wedding shower on Sunday!  It was a ton of fun, and we had some yummy food!

Monday night I was able to meet up with Amy for dinner!  It was AMAZING!!  I love this lady!!  I am so thankful for the amazing journey that TPT has put me in, and for the INCREDIBLE people that I have met.  I am so thankful for a supportive husband who asks me about these friends, and encourages me to meet up with these women.  Amy is incredible, and I think we have a lot in common!  Our babies are not too far apart, and we just hit it off!  I am so happy that she is going to be in Vegas too!  We can be two small fish in the ocean together!

On Tuesday I headed down to the Bay Area to hang out with my bestie and her baby!!  We went to the Oakland Zoo, and spent the day with our babies and the animals!!  It was a great day of fun!!  After the zoo we went to my besties and spent the night.  It was great to be able to catch up, and get some quality girl time in!!  I miss her so much!!

We have spent some time cleaning out my grandma's house this week.  She fell and broke her arm a few weeks ago, and we had to clean out her apartment so that way she wouldn't get hurt again.  My mom and I found some fun things in her apartment.

Here is this week's video!  I love this song!  The lead singer of Casting Crowns had surgery earlier this week, and it's amazing the support and trust in God that both him and his family have.  I shared it with my staff earlier this year too, as I believe it definitely talks about us as teachers too.

This is my first time linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching and I am so excited for this linky party!  I did something like this on my family blog for a while, but then summer break ended, and I stopped blogging over there as much.  Then I started blogging here, and entered the TPT world!!

This week has been my spring break!  I have loved every minute of it!  I can't believe that it is already Friday though!  I have done no planning yet!!  EEEK!!  I have been able to spend so much time with my kids this week, which has been great!  I'm sad that I will have to hand them back over to grandmas on Monday!

I won a giveaway on Facebook!!  I very rarely win, so I was shocked to see an email from Ashley at Schroeder Shenanigans in 2nd!!  I was so excited to win her helping verbs pack, and then realized that I had already bought it preparing for our upcoming unit!  I talked with her about it though, and I am going to be able to give this copy that I won away!!  Stay tuned next week for a giveaway!!

I am so excited the hubby and I made an appointment to talk with someone yesterday about refinancing our house!  We are in need of a second car, and we have been in our house long enough that we own more of our home so we can get rid of that PMI business!  We started the refinance process today and are just waiting for an appraisal now!!  I can't wait!!

This weekend I am going on a girl's trip!  I can't wait!  My bible study group decided in January that we all needed a weekend getaway!  So, we scheduled a trip for the end of our spring break and that day is now here!!  We are going up to Sedona for the weekend!  I am so excited, and can't wait for 2:00!!

I started buying stuff for my baby girl's first birthday party this week!  I knew if I didn't do it soon then I would run out of time and not get everything I wanted.  I can't believe that next month we will have a one year old!  My son is now talking in full sentences and in August he could barely say two word phrases!  I am amazed at how quickly my children are growing up!!
