Five For Friday

Happy weekend! I’m linking up with Doodle Bugs to share a whole lot of randomness from my week. Woohoo!

I was finally able to break out some cutesy sandals today due to the spring like weather. Sandals, sunshine, and spring…does it get any better?! LOVE that I can start driving with the windows down again.

My preschoolers had me laughing out loud today with some of their sayings…

“What you talkin’ about Willis!” (One of my girls said this in response to me...it definitely brought a smile to my face!)

“Miss Samantha, I like your purse…Miss Samantha, your shoes are so cute.” (I have a little fashionista in the making!)

“Hold on someone is calling ME! I’ll be right back.” (The toy phone started ringing and one of my little guys was so convinced it was for him. Too cute!)

I’ll be catching up on this week’s episodes of Duck Dynasty tonight. Please oh please tell me you’re “obsessed” with this family too?! It’s a little embarrassing how much they make me laugh.

If you didn’t notice already, I’m the biggest (future) teacher nerd. I could sit and talk with you for hours about teaching and all the excitement I have stirred up inside of me. Anyway, I signed up to attend a conference with a few fellow education majors that’s all about Common Core. It will be geared toward future educators (that’s me!) which will be SO helpful as Common Core will be very much the standard curriculum when I enter the classroom. Wooh!

These cookies are seriously delicious! Extra yummy on this Friday night. :)

How’s that for random? Wishing you the sweetest of weekends!

I’m still here!

Hello long lost blog friends! I know it has been rather quite around here lately as I took an unplanned blogging break. I apologize for just “disappearing” for the past two weeks, but the little break was much needed. But I’m back now from spring break feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. :)

I went home for spring break and just enjoyed the break with my parents. There were plenty of cold days so most of the time was spent bundled up inside. I’m always so so thankful for the times at home…it truly is one of my favorite places to be. Here’s a small glimpse into the past week…

I had a snowy start to spring break…perfect days for drinking coffee, watching movies, and wearing comfy clothes.

It’s also perfect for sweet puppies to play in.

Only in the country is it completely normal to have to herd goats back into their pen because they were blocking the entire road. It was a funny sight to see my dad doing so!

Cuddling with this love bug on a rainy afternoon.

I always love seeing the different thoughts that I've written in the sides of my Bible in the past. This morning I was reminded again just how faithful He is..."He came. He fulfills His promises." There's so much sweetness in that simple truth and I'm entirely grateful.

If you want to see what I’m up to on a more regular basis then head on over and follow me on Instagram (samantha_grey)!

Puppy Love

Meet my family’s cutest new addition, Dolly.

She is a full blooded boxer and is the absolute sweetest puppy.

That’s all I have to share this Monday morning…

a favorite song.

Good morning, sweet friends! I don’t have much to say today so I thought I would share with you one of my favorite songs. I could listen to this over and over again. I can’t wait to dance with my future hubby to this in our kitchen one day…

Wishing you a lovely Thursday!

Oh, Preschool.

You know you’re a preschool teacher when…

…it’s completely normal to wear monkey ears to work.

…you can change pull-ups like a pro.

…you can open half a dozen snacks at a time (applesauce, yogurts, bananas, etc.).

…you love outside time as much as your kids do.

…you can’t pass by the Target dollar spot without buying goodies for your kids.

…you know pretty much the exact time that each child will be picked up.

…you’re constantly pointing out shapes, colors, and numbers.

…you think Velcro shoes are one of the best inventions ever.

…you know bubbles, play-doh, and finger painting are the bees knees.

…you’re always modeling the correct way to share toys.

…you love seeing your kids actively thinking and problem solving.

At the early learning center where I work, our classes are the names of animals (i.e. blue dolphins, green frogs, dinosaurs, etc.) I’m the afternoon teacher for the brown monkeys’ class and that’s why I’m wearing monkey ears. My kids LOVED when I walked in wearing them!
