Sorry I’ve been MIA this week! Oh the CrAzY days of summer!! This week a whole lotta my mom’s side of the fam is in town, meaning 12 kids, 3 of my mom’s 5 siblings, and their spouses. So there has been a nonstop flow of craziness since Wednesday! Just to give you a taste:

| We were going to see a movie, but forgot it was a Friday night, and it was all sold out! So we went to ColdStone instead! |
Yesterday we basically spent the whole day at a lake near Omaha! I finally got my beach that I was wanting in my July Currently! It was so much fun, but I got SOOOOOOOO sunburnt! My entire shoulder/back/neck/head area is bright red. not so fun. But it was worth it!
Today the last of the family left, and I am ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTED. It was a crazy fun week, and now I’m ready for some relaxation!

My version:
I decided to paste comics on it and stick it in my classroom reading corner! All you need is your newspaper (comics section), an empty tissue box, modge podge, and a foam brush! Click on the inspiration photo above to get a great tutorial! I love to bring the outdoors into my classroom! To add the flowers, fill 3 styrofoam cups with water, place them into the planter, and add flowers! Here are more views of my finished product:
Look for another post tomorrow with my Monday Made It: Culinary Style!!!
