I love Saturdays!

Today was a busy, but fun day! I slept in (probably for the last time this summer... sad day!). I then got up and worked on some "orders" I had. This included hand sanitizers, pencil buckets, a canvas, and supply buckets. I worked on that stuff all morning/afternoon!

Last night we got an email about my new school! We get to tour it Thursday and we get our keys Monday. We can only bring three boxes of stuff with us! What! I freaked out. As an elementary teacher, I have so much stuff. I worked today on minimizing it... Luckily, I got it down to three boxes!! (Minus my classroom library...) It's going to be really hard for me to get into a middle school mindset! Also, it said that we could only decorate bulletin boards and that there would be no hanging of things on the walls. I think I have two bulletin boards. I know that middle school teachers don't decorate as much, but seriously? Only two boards?! What am I going to do with all my borders?! Ha! I am going to need a new place for my creativity to be shown, since it apparently can't be my classroom anymore! Again, it's going to be really, really hard to get a middle school mindset. Have any of you made the transition from elementary to middle before? If so, what are your biggest tips? I'm starting to freak out!!

Tonight Scott, Katie, Holly, Ty and I went to dinner at BJ's. We love BJ's pizza! I hadn't been there since Valentine's Day, so it was so yummy to eat there again! They have deep dish pizza, so it is just so good! Ty and I split a meatball pizza, and I was nervous about it at first. Mainly because I hate spaghetti and it sounded like it was going to be spaghetti on my pizza! But it ended up being really, really good! Afterward, we came back to the apartment. Two of our other friends, Ian and Clayr, came over and we watched the end of Shark Week. (Is anyone else as sad as we are that it's over??) We also decided to make home made oreo cupcakes!!

We found the recipe here. They were so so yummy! But now we have tons of cupcakes and we don't know who is going to eat them all! I think we are going to take them to sunday school. I put a picture from the link to show you what they kind of looked like! (The best part was the oreo on the bottom!!)

Well, tomorrow is officially a "school night". We don't have school for two and a half more weeks, but Monday is back to good ol' training. I can't believe how fast summer went by, but I'm looking forward to getting back on a schedule! I just wish school started a little bit later! (Well, I guess middle school does start later than elementary.... yay for thirty more minutes of sleep! Ha!)
