Lazy Rainy Days.....and a Giveaway Teaser!

Hi all! I hope everyone is having a fabulous 2013 so far...:) Today is my last day of break and I am a little sad about that. I am sitting here listening to the rain fall on my tin roof and wishing I had more days off. My hubby took off the whole two weeks with me and we have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with each other, our kiddos, and our families. We have been working on our the outside of our home putting new siding on and got a lot done. I have tried new recipes and piddled around in the house on various projects. I have done my share of thrift shopping and reading and I truly am not ready to go back to work.

 Anywho...I know some of you had to head back into the classroom already, but I don't see my kiddos until Tuesday! I do work Monday, but it's not a student contact day....thankfully. I have a lot of planning & grading to catch up on! I have not worked on school stuff at all over the break and it has been wonderful! I am starting to think about it now though and get my mind wrapped around what I am going to be doing in January. 

We have been doing physical science for a few weeks now and I am really getting burnt out on it, but we still have a few things to cover. So, I am sucking it up and trying to find some cool ideas for magnetism and electricity!  I found a couple good videos on Discovery and a really sweet unit on magnets and electricity....now I just need to get everything planned out. I am ready to end physical science and move on to Life Science and the human body. I've been pinning lots of good ideas and am ready to use them!

These are all really good resources and I am anxious to use them! I think the kiddos are ready to be finished with physical science as much as me...:) I also wanted to let you know I have come up with a theme for my 200 follower gift basket giveaway....if I ever make it to 200! It is going to be a Spring Survival goodie basket....because the spring seems to drag by while we are anxiously awaiting summer break! So....be sure to stay tuned so you don't miss out!  I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday....I am off to heat up a bowl of tomato/basil soup and chillax in front of the tv for a while. This rainy weather just calls for it...:)
As always....be blessed!
