five for friday, wonky f, and the dishes are waiting

thank goodness for Doodle Bugs Teaching

and her 5 for Friday
even though I am usually a day late
I still LOVE LOVE LOVE that I can reflect on my week
I think it is a blessing to able to sit and reflect about my past week's yays and nays
so here we go...

ONE

So my teacher buds...Kari and Shawna decided to throw a back to school party 

with a twist...

a few of us got together to paint a monogram for our rooms...

they came out super cute...

BUT I felt rushed at the end...

RUSHED and I had to QUICKLY put on my "f"

and I am not too happy with it... it is kinda wonky on one side

AHHHHH 

well lesson learned... don't rush

plus who cares... 

it is going to hang in my room and it is all about the memories made with my friends

and not my wonky f

TWO

got a box of goodies from BIC

they sent me enough of their new highlighter tape for ALL of the classroom teachers at my school

I passed these out with their book study book...

I also had FAB door prizes to ease the blow of a year long book study...

I am in charge of the book study which we will be reading and implementing ALL YEAR

ALL YEAR PEEPS

so little gifts were needed I think and these were PERFECT...

the book we are reading is by my FAVE 

Jeff Anderson

here is a link just in the chance you might want to check it out...

it is a NECESSARY read for writing teachers...

MUST READ!!!

 THREE

I LOVE me some watermelon... 

like LOVE LOVE LOVE it,,,

and please tell me why seedless watermelons still have seeds...

is there a ratio of acceptable amounts of seeds before it is called seedless...

and if there is a ratio HOW DO YOU KNOW because the seeds are inside...

instead of seedLESS it should just say LESSseeds... 

am I right???

I mean really how often do you get a true SEEDLESS one... 

like never...

anyways I thought this watermelon was smiling at me...

my friends on Instagram said it looks like fallopian tubes...

yeah I see that too

BUT my fallopian tubes and I are not friends so I don't want to give them 

blog time sooooo

to me it is a cute smiling LESS seeds watermelon

and BOYYYYY let me tell you that watermelon was

the bomb.dot.com... delicious

FOUR

this was my outfit for my 2nd day back to work...

AHHHHHH I am back to work

I am sad sad sad

but at the same time I am excited to get a new year going...

I've seen my list and it is filled with sweet kiddos YAY!!!

I am planning on wearing this same outfit on meet the teacher night...

both of these linkys are about sharing what you have been doing
and I hope it is ok with the girlies that I have joined both
I couldn't pick just one and so I just did both!!!
both of these blogs are in my top FAVES so picking was just so hard...
so both it is....


NUMBER ONE
one of my teacher friends
like I really KNOW HER
I teach with her
****squirrel****
my hubs doesn't even ask anymore if I REALLY know a teacher friend
I'll say like...
man you should see what Tara made or man Jen is at the beach again...
in the past he would ask
bloggy teacher friend or real teacher friend???

HELLO they are my real friends...
I just have never met them...
what evs...
people get married after online dating...
why can't I have real friends from blogging...
anyways...
he's over it and educated in my real friends so
back to the wedding...
last Sunday a teacher from my school got married...
so of course it was like a pre back to school get together....

 and of course I have to take selfies...
HI my name is Farley and I take WAY too many selfies...
is it because I know my best angle...
why yes yes it is...
so here is a collection of wedding selflies
minus the one in the middle
unless hubs has a GO GO gadget arm...
but sadly he does NOT
but we do have a very tall friend that knows my best angle too

 and here is the best selfie from that night...
me dancing to the Boot Scootin Boogy
What what...
I'm from Texas Y'all
we do that!!!
here's proof

 NUMBER TWO...
got a nice little package in the mail from my friends at Ticonderoga...
OK now they are my made up friends.....
I don't really know them and I really only write to them in a response to their emails...
YES YES.... I will take a box of goodies...
I am not stupid...
when Ticonderoga asks you if you want a box of goodies... you say YES
and hopefully with further email correspondence this could turn into a real friendship...
I mean I already LOVE their pencils... LOVE

NUMBER THREE
went to my classroom...
looks GREAT HUH???
Oh my golly
it is a mess... one of my bookcases broke and is now upside down
 and ALL of the books that were on it
are now...
on the floor
they don't want me putting my desks down until the workers can come fix my bookcase...
they might need to take it away...
oh MY!!!
not gonna think about that...
at least my helper is cute!!!

NUMBER FOUR
my super, sweet, adorable,
puts up with me, and always takes a day off to help me in my classroom
HUBBY
put this together for me...
I LOVE IT
from IKEA
ADORBS...

please ignore the other mess... it is not prettified yet...

NUMBER FIVE
if you know me...
you know I wanted a moose in my classroom
well all SUMMER I have been on the lookout for a moose
and well this is TEXAS Y'ALL
and well moose are hard to find...
BUT deer are NOT...
sooooooo
meet BUCK
my new class mascot...
I love him
he once belonged to my father in law
and through a chain of events he is now mine...
well not officially mine...
because I can't gold glitter his mount BUT
he is mine
I can dress him
so that makes me happy

I seriously took a trip to Goodwill just to shop for BUCK

and I got him his own suitcase full of dress up accessories...

and here he is...

ready for the first day of school...

he has a nice tie, reading glasses, and a pencil behind his ear...

I am on the look out for great vintage hats... 

because of course he is going to need a hat too

seriously!!! I {puffy} heart my BUCK!!!

and that about wraps it up...
I mean what other teacher can end with a deer in her room!!!
