I’ve been having quite the lazy late afternoon. It feels good to just sit around while my laundry is going, watching t.v. with my feet up. Today I found Something’s Gotta Give on E! I LOVE this movie. Love Diane Keaton. Love Jack Nicholson. Love it all.
I also LOVE, as in L.O.V.E., the house where most of the movie takes place. It’s gorgeous!!
Half the fun of watching this movie is checking out the house and the Hamptons! Dream!
In my first grade classroom we can’t get enough of these books…!
They are super hilarious and are helping even my most resistant readers become excited about reading. I’ve recently taken these books and created reader’s theatre scripts that we will perform in our own class, and hopefully for some of the other classes in the school as well. 
The level of reading is fairly simple, but the repeated reading helps students gain fluency and expression, which are important aspects of helping students comprehend text. These books are helping everyone become better readers, the kids are having a blast, and I am cracking up at the hilarity of it all.
Yay, Mo Willems! We love your work!!
Oh my goodness this week has been awfully busy. But I made it! It’s Friday night and I made it out alive.
Phew!
Just a few things I saw and loved this week… here ya go!

I love the look and sound of this frozen brazo de mercedes cake by Trissa of Trissalicious via 6 Bittersweets.
This is a dream house and I want to be in it. Seen and super loved on Wide Open Spaces via The Pink and Blue Blog.
Absolutely love these fabrics by Ink and Spindle via Freshly Blended. All of Ink and Spindle’s textiles are beautiful and I want to make my own pillows with them!
Isn’t this dresser amazing?! And I love the mirror too!! Spotted via Kelly and Olive.
How fun are these adorable party straws? I want to drink a raspberry Pina Colada with one of these. By Emerald + Ella via Hooray Design.
Lastly, I love this photograph of these kimquats seen at Oh Happy Day! I had this fruit once when Zan’s mom brought a bunch back from California. They’re like oranges, but mini and more tart. And you just pop them in your mouth with the skin on! They are verrrrry tasty.
Have a great weekend!!
It’s casual friday for me… hooray jeans.
Wish I looked half as cute as emerson (via emersonmade) today. The flower on her blazer is just about the cUTEst thing I ever did see. ADORE!!!!
