Five for Friday - February 22

I am linking up with Kacey at Doddle Bugs Teaching

Here are 5 random things about this week.

I spent Valentine's Day/Presidents' Weekend in Hawaii visiting my hubby.  On Saturday, I was on a bus for 227 miles around the island - visiting 5 different quilt stores.  It was so much fun, I love my Hawaii friends.  The flower above was on this huge tree, outside of one of the quilt stores.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the tree.  The flowers looked very wispy and the pods were about an inch or two across.  It looked like someone had painted the pods yellow, beautiful.

We had our annual school jog-a-thon fundraiser this week.  This fundraiser is really cool because 100% goes back to the school into programs that the teachers vote for.  Every class has a theme,  my babes wore mustaches.  I have a couple of boys that really need to have a mustache when they grow up, so cute.

I bought this really yummy yarn in Hawaii to make a scarf - the colors are Hawaii ocean blue or peacock feather colors.  I was able to get a lot of knitting done on the plane.  I have also set aside an hour each night, just to knit on this scarf.  I am about 1/3 of the way done.

 

My birthday is in March, so my room mom surprised me today with a party.  She made me wear the hat, the sash and a magic wand.  The kids got so excited, especially since I wore it to the awards assembly in the morning.  I love my room mom and my kiddos.  They gave me a bunch of gift cards, so sweet - especially the Starbucks.

Today, is the start of my 5 week break - yup you read it right.  5 wonderful weeks off.

And I celebrated with 6 upper grade teachers - having all you can eat sushi.  What a great start to a break.  This is called the Volcano, yum.

I hope you have a great weekend.
