Children's Book Awards

Every year the Arkansas Reading Association hosts the Arkansas Children's book awards for the Charlie May Simon and Arkansas Diamond Book Award Winners. This year some of my favorite authors were there. Janet Stevens won the Diamond Book Honor Award for her book Little Red Pen and Andrew Clemetns won the Charlie May Simon Honor Award for Trouble Maker. I bought both of them and had them signed.

Debbie Diller is my most loved professional text author. She has written wonderful books on small group instruction as well as how to set up literacy work stations. I didn't have a book for her to sign because I already own all of them, but I still told her how wonderful she was and asked for a picture.

Friday afternoon was dreary and rainy. Some pictures of the  Arkansas River I took while waiting for a session.

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious!

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

The Crud

I feel like crud! I've blown my nose so much this weekend that my face is raw and red. I can't imagine how I have this much snot in me. Anyways. I didn't get my Thursday 3 miler in or my 9 mile long run this weekend. How can I run when I can't freaking breathe?!? I've been taking medicine and using my Nettie Pot, so here's hoping I feel like running towards the end of this week. So glad this is a short work week and a field trip on Wednesday. I NEED a break!!
