Five on Friday

Happy Friday and Happy 10-more-school-days-until-summer to me!! ;) 

1.  Two weeks ago I helped Gaines set up a booth at the Earth Day festival in town.  They blocked off the main street and had lots of Earth Day-related crafts for the kids.  We did a little demo where we poured water on dirt to show soil erosion and then poured water on planted grass to show soil conservation.  Then they got to eat "dirt we freshly dug up in our backyard."  I'm pretty sure some of them actually believed us until they tried it and realized it was just Oreos, cake, and gummy worms.  Yum.

2. So, you know the small town you live in has hit it big when it appears in a Jeopardy question.  :)  Do you know what the answer is?  I'll give you a hint.... It's a state that rhymes with "Feorgia."  

3.  Last Sunday we celebrated Cinco de Mayo with friends at Mexican.  Cheese dip, quesadillas, and Bahama Mamas? Check, check, and check.   

 4.  It was Teacher Appreciation Week this week, which meant getting some sweet gifts from my kids.  This one was my favorite, and I'm not really ashamed to say that all of those M&Ms have since been eaten.   

5.  And last but not least, if you're wondering what happens to our drinks when we walk out of the room for a second, here is your answer.... 

Have a great weekend!!
