Tuesday Tell All ~ School Days

Today's Topic:

School Days

What is your earliest memory of school, what did you love about the first week of school, who was your favorite teacher, subject, or playground game?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have a lot of great memories from school. I LOVED school in general. I loved going to school. I loved doing classwork and yes, even homework.

I had a lot of great teachers through the years but by far, my favorite, was my third grade teacher, Miss Smith. She is still a third grade teacher at Sinclair Elementary. She was the best. People say you have that one special teacher and she is it for me.

My favorite subject was in high school. It was my engineering class. Coach Kerns taught the class. It was a class that the jocks took and I was the only girl in my class. I wanted to study to be an engineer so I actually took the class seriously. LOVED IT!

I'd love to go back to school. For what? Not sure. I have a lot of things I'd love to do but not sure what I would devote myself to if I had the opportunity to go back.

Opening Ceremonies are one week from tonight!

Are you competitive? Which event would you choose to participate in?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm super competitive. Imagine that! I hate losing, whether it's Uno (and I'm playing Jacob) or bowling (real life or on Wii ~ wait, isn't Wii real life?).

I would love to compete in the track events. There is something about watching those men and women tear down the track that just amazes me. I am by no means a fast runner but if I had the skills, I'd love the racing events. But not the hurdles. Those things scare me!

Tuesday Tell All ~ Summer is Sweet

My friend, Alida, told me about this neat blog called the Tuesday Tell All. Basically you have a weekly assignment to post about the topic they have selected. Just a neat way to add things to your blog about your family that you may not normally put. So here is my first Tuesday Tell All.

Today's Topic:

Summer is Sweet

It seems like all my careful meal planning gets thrown out the window during the summer. We tend to take a far more casual dining approach.

Which often means Popsicles and fruit for lunch or hot dogs and cookies for dinner.

What are your favorite summertime treats?

Does your family have a favorite summer recipe, favorite snow cone, ice cream or frozen treat....we'd love to hear about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



We also LOVE watermelon....well, everyone but Jordan (weird kid I tell you).



And always ice cream. It doesn't matter if it's from the store, the ice cream man, Dairy Queen or Coldstone. We love ice cream!



We LOVE summer time treats in this house!
