My Summer in a Nutshell

Hey There!

I had a FABULOUS summer! It was very busy and a bit stressful as I was planning my wedding! I will get back to the wedding in a minute....

The first week of my summer was spent at Clear Lake with my family. We have been spending a week there every summer for the past 5 years. It is one of my favorite places to be and I spend it with my favorite people! We stay in a cabin and have BBQ's every night! This year we rented a Pontoon boat for an afternoon and had a blast! My brother enjoyed going super fast over the waves and watching us get soaked!! I cuddled under a blanket with my niece Avery and we giggled as we got splashed!

The rest of July was pretty low key. I did some wedding planning and preparations, went to the beach, visited with friends and babysat my nieces. At the beginning of August, Al and I went to Fargo. We stayed there for two nights and I shopped till I dropped! We enjoyed the get away and the food! We love the restaurants in the States....however I really craved some fruit and salad when I got home! My niece, Avery stayed over at our house for two nights. We went to the Children's Museum, walked around The Forks and had lunch there, made cookie pizza, watched movies, made crafts, played in the park and ran through the sprinkler. We were sure busy for those two days!!

August was busy with wedding prep as we got married on August 20. We got married at Fort Gibraltar here in Winnipeg. It was a beautiful day and we were lucky that we got to share it with our family and friends. Our wedding day was perfect! I had so much fun and enjoyed everything about it! I will be sure to bring in some pictures to share with my new fives as well as the "new" grade 6's.

Now August is ending and I am preparing for the new school year. I was in my classroom last week rearranging the tables and shelves so we can fit all 29 of the fabulous fives in there! I have more things to do next week and will be visiting my classroom a few more times before school starts. I am definitely excited about the new year and have a lot of ideas and things planned already! It is going to be a fun filled year full of learning, growing, laughter and happiness!

That's my summer in a nutshell.

Talk to you soon!

Oh and my new name is Mrs. Lafantaisie!
