Summer Fun and a Blog Hop

What a summer it's been! Here's a mere snippet of the fun we've had the past few weeks:

  • baking for a teacher friend's boyfriend's birthday

  • a visit from a teacher mentor I worked and learned from in college
 
  •  my second Finish at the 50 race on July 3rd

 
  • a rainy day July 4th play date
 
 
  • a stroll along the Cape Cod Canal and a pool date
 
 
   
  • numerous ice cream dates (which will continue Mr. Lovie!!) 
 
  • kiddie pool fun at Memere and Grammy's
  • a run-in with this cutie pie while leading the camp's Trailblazers group at the pond
 
  • more cupcake baking for our school's art teacher
  • a Trailblazing trip to the zoo
 
 
  • a teacher-friend's fabulous wedding, lawn games, and cupcakes courtesy of Sweet Mack Bakery--that's me!










  • Cupcake Club at summer camp
 

As you can see we have had one heck of a summer and it's not over yet!

But, I love back-to-school and I can't wait to tackle my ever-growing list of back-to-school tasks, set up my room, meet my newest kiddos....I just love it!

While I may not be doing much creating on the teacher front, (okay, none) I am happy and eager to share fabulous finds!

I recently finished prepping a few activities...

...like Hope King's place value Base Tents activity which she has as a Facebook fan freebie here.
