I hope you had a terrific weekend.

I just got back from the 1st Annual Burns Family Clam/Lobster Bake up in Skaneateles, NY. You know a party is a success when someone says:

“Hey! Next year, let’s make T-shirts!”

Fun times at the Tool Shed.

Pictures coming soon! (as soon as I find my camera cord. missing in action since sometime last week.) And more posts too… I promise!

My summer (in a clam shell)…

August 27, 2010

This summer flew past, right before my eyes. I can not believe how fast it went actually. So super fast– like those horses and jockeys at the Saratoga race track. Whew! Mostly, I was finishing up my coursework, but also, I was having fun.

I finished up the Summer Compass Program (a Lesley University/Cambridge Public Schools partnership) with an extreme sense of accomplishment. Mostly because I can’t even belieeeeeve how much paperwork I finished in only 6 weeks, but also because I really did feel like a reading teacher. :)

The other reading specialists I worked with (pictured above) were all AMAZING. I loved spending my days in the reading room with them, working as colleagues, and getting to know them as friends. I will miss this group and will have great memories of our crazy summer together!

I did also manage (although I’m not quite sure how) to do other summer-y things with other fabulous people in my life. LUCKILY, I have the documentation to prove it. Here is my summer in a nutshell….OR, more appropriately, a CLAM shell. Wish it could go on forever.

I made it to a red sox game!

I enjoyed a night out with friends at an HWS/SLU alumni event…

Hung out with Zan’s fam… ate a good amount of ice cream…

Went down to Greenwich to spend time with family…. got some pics with my Aunt Heidi’s chicken coup…

Fresh eggs, anyone?

Drank PBRs with the guys…

Loved me some EE and Aaron…

Becca came to visit and she cooked up a delicious meal!

I am the proud new owner of a FABULOUS FIT-

I took a weekend trip to the Cuse and spent most of my time in Skan-town… picked some corn, ate some veggies, hung out with my cousins, spent time with Tinsley, and got to see MO!!

GOODBYE SWEET SUMMER.

Goodbye!!

A weekend in the Cuse.

This weekend my sister and I took the bus home to Syracuse. Yay home! For Christmas my mom gave us tickets to see WICKED! And it’s this weekend! I’m so excited I could burst.

What are you doing this weekend? I hope you have a good one!
