Spring Break Crafts
I am loving my second week of Spring Break. Last week I was able to go home for a week and it was marvelous. I was able to visit pretty much everyone I wanted to see.
We had to come home on Monday because Jeremiah had a doctors appointment on Tuesday. We got pretty good news from the doctor but his J-pouch did have a couple of ulcers on it so we will know more when we get the test results back from the biopsy. Just say a quick prayer for him that everything will be fine!
Yesterday, I pretty much hung out at my house. I cleaned and caught up on some tv. It was a great day. Nothing really to report except my house is clean!
Today, I got to get up at 6 because I had my first teacher test. They told me I only have to take two tests to get my license valid in the state so I guess thats not too bad. Today's test was: Elementary Education Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. It started at 7:30 and it was on a computer so my eyes were so glazed over after it was done but I PASSED! That is the beautiful thing about taking the test on the computer, I found out my score immediately. Whew, cross that off my list. The second and final test, Reading Specialist, is on April 30th and then I can trade in my reciprocal license for a permanent one!
OH YEAH! Next week, I get to to start my new position. I am taking over for someone on maternity leave! That means, my own class for the rest of the year, more than 3 times the pay, and actually using my degree! I am so excited! I will be in second grade and I have already met the children once and they are really sweet!
Alright, on to some pictures. I did a couple of crafts today. Don't hate me, but I totally forgot to take before pictures. I am so bad at that lately. Anyway, here are the pics:

My wreath. It's a little skinny so I might go back over it with more yarn but I love the flowers and they were super easy to make. I might just add more of them and I think I want to hang the wreath from ribbon instead so maybe tomorrow.
My coffee table centerpiece. Cheap and cute. Avery had white eggs so I thought I would copy her. I found them at hobby lobby and they were 35 cents for 12! Ha! So cheap! Now I have three vases full of them around my house.
This is a lamp my mother in law gave me. I spray painted the base and I really like it. The shade is a different story. I want to recover it with burlap but I didn't have any today and I didn't feel like going to the store so for the time being I put leopard ribbon around it. Not my best job but oh well.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! We have to run 10 miles on Saturday so hopefully we will be able to accomplish that goal!
