Well I survived our family camping trip. The weather was certainly not great. It rained the first night but the tent had no leaks. Then a big storm rolled in on Saturday afternoon and broke all the poles in the back room of our tent. Everything got pretty wet inside. Yuck, wet sleeping bags = miserable Mommy. We managed to fix up the tent the best we could with rope, duct tape and a tarp. Luckily it stopped storming after dinner. Cameron absolutely adored our camping weekend. He had a great time with the other kids in our camping party. A great trip despite the yucky weather.
A special thanks to Laura over at "Kinder Kraziness" for featuring me on her "Someone New" Sunday post and a friendly welcome to any new followers who found me through her link. Here's a link to her post that featured my little Canadian blog.
Once school starts back I hope to be sharing lots of classroom ideas that work well for my combined Grade One/Two class.
Though my constant blog stalking I have heard many people mention this lovely book First Day Jitters. I am on the hunt for my own copy. Hopefully I can pick one up on our trip to the city this week. Anyways, Jessica at "A Turn to Learn" featured this great jitters inspired linky. I just adore her blog. Her tutorials are so simple and easy to follow. I have learned so many awesome things! So to show my bloggy appreciation for all the great things she shares on her blog I am linking up to the party.
Thanks for reading and following,
Welcome to the blogging world and thank you for sharing your jitters1 I too enjoy my short commute to work. It makes spending time with your own family so much easier. I hope you have a great school year! I am your newest follower. I would love for you to stop by my blog when you get a chance!

I traded my short commute (3 miles) for a 20 minute commute. I sure do miss it. Welcome to the blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteI want to remember to have more fun too! Good luck in your new classroom! :)

I know what you mean about wet camping experiences... once the tend leaked ONLY on top of my sleeping back! It was horrible!!! But so funny to look back on!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up and for your sweet comment! Going from Kindergarten to 2nd will be a interesting switch but I'm sure you'll make it work with that shorter commute (which I'm totally jealous of by the way!)
