I LOVE, love, love my stairs!!!! And, the blue walls! Y'all--this house is just SO me. Once I have it all decorated and precious, I might just have to give a little bloggy tour of it! ;)
So, what else? I have been enjoying spending time with this sweet little face:
Also, time out has been in full force {I mean, she's TWO} so the picture below shows just how familiar she was with the corner. She decided to put ALL of her stuffed buddies in time out one morning. I wonder what they did? Who knows, but they all got stickers a few minutes later! Ha!
Teddy LOVES Cheerios! He's so happy about it, he's smiling!!! :)
We also tried potty training this summer. Did it go well? Not so much. Yep...that's undies...on her head. We'll try again soon.
Yesterday, I went to work in my classroom. This is what I saw when I walked in the door:
No, I did not move schools! We have to clear everything out at the end of the year so the floors can be cleaned and waxed! But, oh my goodness...I have SO much to do before my new little friends arrive for Meet the Teacher. I was slightly overwhelmed when I walked in. So, I sat there for awhile...looked around, found a few dead spiders that were the size of my face...and I turned right back around to go get massive amounts cleaning supplies!!! I am planning on changing the theme and colors in my room this year, so I can't wait to share the "after" picture with you soon!

Congrats on your dream house! It is so stinkin' cute! Emma is adorable. I also have a 2 year old and know what you mean about ELMO's World! Haha! We also adventured into the world of potty training and didn't have great success yet. We'll just keep trying right. : )

Congrats on your dream home! It is so stinkin' cute! Emma is adorable. I also have a 2 year old girl and know exactly what you mean about Elmo's World. Ha! I am also a big fan of pugs. We adventured into the world of potty training as well and didn't have any success yet. We'll just keep trying. I went into my room and felt the same way. I feel so overwhelmed that I don't even know where to start. Ugh! Can't wait to see what your classroom looks like!

Learning Is Something to Treasure
I have recently found and started visiting your blog!! I am a fellow first grade teacher too! We have to do the same thing with our rooms during the summer. I went up to my classrom today which also looked like yours. I laughed when I read the comment about spiders and cleaning supplies! I thought I was the only one who did that!!!
Congrats on your new house. Its so pretty. I look forward to your educational inspiration this year!! Best wishes!!
I love the blue stairs and the brick outside. Gorgeous!
A pug! I love pugs, I have one too. Best breed! I love how they smile!
Oh Sarah...your sweet baby and house are absolutely beautiful!! So glad you're back..I can't wait to see more of your classroom. ;)
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for sharing these great pics of your summer! Your dream house is beautiful, your baby girl is ADORABLE, and even your dog looks happy! If I were you, I may not have bothered blogging at all this summer. :)
I’m your newest follower. I am a Newbie Blogger, so I appreciate all of the sharing of advice and ideas. Come on over for a visit sometime.

Sarah. . .I love the house! Congratulations! Trust me potty training is hard work, but it won't last forever {though it might seem like it will while you're working on it}! I hope you have a fabulous school year!
Your house is beautiful!! :) I love the stairs, too!
I TOTALLY feel you with the whole two-year old "fun." We have also had to visit time-out a time or twelve this summer AND had a failed attempt at potty training.
Glad to see you back, and can't wait for more of your great ideas!
