Five For Friday {August 24, 2013}

I hope you had a great week!  I don't know what it's like where you live, but it's easy to see that the days are getting shorter.  Now when I get up in the morning, it is dark.  That's good though because I get to see the sun rise. This morning's was a beauty!

Looking back at my week with Doodlebugs Teaching and Five for Friday.

 

In honor of our last day of summer school, we all took a field trip to the beach for a morning of swimming fun.  It was a perfect morning...the sun was bright, the breeze was refreshing, and being around the water was so relaxing.

 



Last weekend was the Kenosha County Fair.  We went on Saturday night...so my husband could eat "Fair Food."  (Just the sound of it sends me running for a piece of fruit, I tell ya!)  Here we are taking a break and people watching...which is SO FUN at the fair!

 

Visiting the chicken barn is my favorite!  Who knew there were so many different kind of chickens???  I loved them all!  :v)

On Wednesday, my summer school class got to do some cooking with veggies that were grown in the school garden.  We tried some new foods and recipes -- Ratatouille, Spaghetti Squash and Cucumber Salad.  It was all yummy!

 

 



I was excited to find some fresh veggies ready to be picked and eaten in my own garden this week!  We enjoyed fresh sweet corn and salsa with our own tomatoes.  Delish!

 



I don't know if you have any teenage girls living in your house, but my daughter is absolutely IN LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with One Direction.  Last weekend, she found a 1D display at Office Depot and took about 50 photos on my iPhone of herself with the boys.  Then this morning, she flew out of bed to see them on the Today Show.  Ahhh...to be young again....(It really gets her going when I tell her that I think they all need haircuts.  :v)

I hope you have a wonderfully relaxing weekend!
