It's beginning to look a lot like...

...SUMMER!!
21 days left to the moment where every teacher in our building stands along the bus ramp and wave at the kids as the buses drive off for the last time for this school year.  Oh, such a bittersweet moment. ;)

Although, this year has not been without it challenges, I've thoroughly enjoyed the group of students that I've had.  And I think they've kinda enjoyed me, too.  Hence, as this is teacher appreciation week, I (unexpectedly) received the following two items (one from an individual student, the other from one class). 

 

 

It's nice to feel as though their is some significance to the many hours that have been spent with these kiddos.  As a matter of fact, in the mail today, I received an invitation to the graduation/party of a student whom I taught during my first year as a teacher! 

Time sure does fly, which definitely makes me appreciate my own kiddo even more!  By the way, stay tuned for a special Mother's Day post inspired by P (aka the Nut...aka the Boss)!

Nighty-night!

{outfit afterthoughts: lovelovelove this top, but always wanted a button-down and not really a tunic...the pockets in the front and the tunic-style make it a little difficult to wear and add a few extra bulges here and there...but i really like the (unseen) ruffle detail around the collar, the sleeves, and the shade of blue!}
