It was all Before 10 AM and Bite Sized Lessons

My friends are I are quickly understanding what it means to live in the "real world" with real early days and sometimes late nights. I have started work in the mornings and I have to be at the elementary school at 7:50 AM, and on the days that I am not working, I am leading an orientation class for freshman that starts at 7:30 AM. So much for sleeping in and laying around during the week, real life has set in! With this in mind, we decided that we wanted to get up today and make a nice breakfast and then go to the Farmers Market here in Manhattan! (Let me be the first to tell you, it is nothing like the KC one, but it was still a fun adventure!

My alarm clock started ringing at 8:15 AM and I got up and made this delightful spread for Cam.

Scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and grapes. So nutritious :)

 The plates looked so cute with our green placemats (thanks Kayla) and my pretty flowers that are still fully in bloom from Cam!

After we finished the delightful breakfast, me, Cam, Kayla, Jordan, and Shelbi (my roomates and boyfriends minus Ethan :( ...) headed out to the Farmers Market! Although it was smaller than the KC one, it was still fun and we did make a few good finds, the first being...

  ...Some delightful peaches! (Do not be fooled, the rest of the fruit on these trays are from Dillions :) We haven't tried the peaches yet, but they were grown fresh so I am sure they are so good!

We also found a lady and her husband who sell this type of picture, but I will not go into details about that just yet becasue some people who are reading this have birthdays coming up and I don't want to give away the surprise! (Hint hint, Kimmy). Once I have given her the gift, I will show a picture of it because I was JUST OBSESSED WITH IT!!

We had a great time this morning, and amazingly enough, it was all before 10 AM! :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend...enjoy it while it lasts!! :)

Until then,

Brittany

PS: We read the most adorable book in my Social Studies methods class this week...

The book talked about life skills through the use of baking cookies, every kids favorite thing! After reading the book as a class, we were instructed to make our own "Bite of Cookies" book to represent a few of the traits in our classroom someday. Here was my final result..

It was such a cute and fun idea and I would definitely be able to read this book and alter the requirements a little and use this in my classroom someday to build up respect and rapport with my students! So fun :)
