Happy July 4th!
(on the July 5th)
Today we are celebrating one of those wonderful days that really calls for gratitude: Government Holidays.
The Mister is home and we have a tradition on days like today. We have a breakfast feast.
As soon as I finish typing this post we will dine on biscuits, eggs, and fruit (fresh pineapple, cherries, and watermelon).
After breakfast we plan to go on a hike to the river.
We've already had a great weekend which involved a little bit of work, and a little bit of fun. Which is always the best way to have a weekend.
The Girl and I watched a Hannah Montana Marathon while we slipped 500 sheets of paper curriculum into protective sleeves.
We aren't finished yet. We still have one and a half units left to "protect" but I ran out of sheet protectors.
Then we moved to the filing system. This is is new for me this year. (Actually I've switched
entire curriculum this year) I have always filed their finished work, but never by the week. So we dutifully got an entire school-year filing system readied.
Then we went and had pedicures.
I also started another afghan while we watched movies each night.
I'm gonna keep this one.
I think.
This weekend couldn't have been better.
But it was.
After getting my toenails painted I quickly ran to the grocery store to pick up a few things for our cook-out....I decided to take one look in the ice cream isle, although I knew my Creamsicle search was in vain at this store.
Imagine my surprise when I saw a big yellow sticker that said "NEW ITEM! Dean's Orange Cream Bars":
And in my excitement I went all loco en la cabeza and bought ice cream sandwiches too.
It is a holiday you know.
For the record, these orange cream bars are better than the ones I was looking for, because they are orange sherbet not orange popsicle...Mmmmm......
I think it may have to be added to the breakfast feast menu.

If they have *orange* in them they totally count as breakfast fruit. Hooray!
Your weekend sounds perfect...and I'm glad for the sherbert find!!! Yahoo.
Girl. Seriously?! You inspire me!! I've have had that TOG curriculum in my hands so I KNOW how much work you did this weekend!!!!! I want to get our stuff together soon...I have one more order to make and then I'll have everything.
I love creamsicles...the essence of summer, to me. I haven't knitted in a coon's age and I'd like to but I'm enjoying too many other things right now!
I thought about you while I was running the Peachtree yesterday (huge landmark race in Atlanta)! First 10K!
Enjoy your day w/ your fam!
Congratulations on your creamsicle miracle! I was feeling very sorry for you!!!
Wow! Your filing of their work by week with little tabs and everything! That is awesome. I just keep it all together in a box just by year, but I am truly inspired.....well I really like yours anyway. :)
I'm jealous of your summer craftiness. Maybe when we hang out tomorrow I'll get inspired to start back on some of my half-abandoned projects.
Hmph. Now I'm jealous of your summer craftiness AND your summer hang out with CPQ. I'll repent later, I think.
Seriously...needing a crochet tutorial on that afghan. Lurve.
Prefect weekend!! Yum eat an orange cream bar for me :-)
Wow! Such organization! I'm jealous!
Yay for the orange bars! Glad you found 'em!
Oh YUM!!! I love orange creamsicles!! We have a recipe that we make every now and then that is like Orange Julius'. LOVE those!

We used and loved TOG for 3-4 years. Gracen will be starting the small classical school at our church this year and is already missing TOG!!
Yay! You found them!
I remember liking them as a kid, but I tried them a few years ago and didn't... now I think it might have had something to do with them being popsicle!! Thanks for the help!
