Thinking out Loud Thursday: District & Area Track

Hey guys!

I am posting this late due to just getting back from the track meet. It has been one long day!

Today I am linking up with Vanessa and Penny for Thanking out Loud Thursday.

First off did y'all see the Spurs game last night?!?!?!?!?!?! 

OMG I stayed up and watched the whole thing which meant I went to bed around 2:30 am. 

I love the Spurs and let's hope they can keep it up. 

Anyway.........

Today was the district and area track meet. Thankfully it was great weather! I didn't get there until after work but it was perfect timing because that was when the running events started. 

Somehow I took this picture on accident 

Love the sky

Just the hubs doing his thing

:) 

It was a good day and a lot of the kids advanced to Regionals! 

The boys got 2nd as a team in points and I could not be prouder of them. 

This school year is winding down so fast. I feel like yesterday I was getting ready to head to a football game. These kids have put in so much hard work all year long. 

Next weekend is regionals then {hopefully} State. 

We are all tired here and headed off to bed early. 

Happy Thursday!

Waiting on Wednesday: Track & Testing

Today I am linking up with the always sweet and inspiring Holly at While I'm Waiting from Waiting on Wednesday.

As I type this my husband and his 22 8th graders are taking the Science STARR test. 

Please say an extra special prayer for them!

As much as I talk about my husband being a coach he is a teacher first. He tells everyone that when they ask what he does. He will say " I am a teacher and then I am a coach" 

I am a worrier by nature and even though I know my husband has done a great job teaching his kids I still get nervous. 

This post is not about my like or dislike of the Starr test but about the importance of making sure the kids and the teachers feel encouraged and supported. 

If you have visited my blog before then you know that sometimes I get crazy ideas at all random times of the night. 

So at 2 am I decided that I would be making treats for Ad's 8th graders this morning. 

Thanks to Holly I found this cute idea

I then found the printable Here

Thank you Holly for finding this! 

Here was my take on it: 

I printed them off then cut them out and put them on black card stock paper so they could "pop"

I get this clear sacks at Wal-Mart for .98 

They come in a pack of 25 and I just get one more each time I go so I always have some. 

This ribbon I bought at the beginning of football season and I still have a ton of it left! 

Then I added Smarties into the bags

Then add the saying and ribbon 

{You can see the other sacks I am working on for the HS track team for tomorrow}

All 22 of them ready to go. 

Tomorrow is the High School District and Area Track Meet. 

I am working on treats for them and I am not sure what all I will do yet. I have some hard candies in there now. 

I have oranges to put in there as well. 

I normally go to Pintrest for any quotes I can add to the bags. 

If you are looking for some things to make the sports teams in your life you can follow my Coach G board on Pintrest HERE

I look forward to reading what everyone else is waiting on! 

Have a great Wednesday.

Waiting on Wednesday: Track Meet

Hey Guys!

Today I am linking up with the very sweet Holly at While I'm Waiting.

Can I just say getting up this morning was hard! I did not feel like putting "professional" clothes on so when I went to drop off Ty I had on a nice shirt with these way too short PJ"s. 

Thank goodness no one sees me when dropping her off. 

Now on with What I am Waiting On: 

Today I am waiting on the Jr. High District Track Meet tomorrow. 

My husband is so sweet and has volunteered me to help with it after school. 

Oh, I don't mind. I actually love helping I just have to give him a hard time. :) 

{last year at the State Track Meet}

Today I was "in town" and stopped by Sam's to pick up some goodies for the kids. After I enjoyed me some lunch at one of my Fav's , Jason's Deli 

Nothing better than a yummy lunch and reading some blogs. 

When I got home I went to work on these....

These all went into the bag

 (Please Ignore the mess)  

There are about 40 of these treat bags in my living room floor waiting to be eaten up by some happy jr. high kiddos tomorrow. 

Just another night at this coaches wife's house. 

I am so proud of all the hard work my coach & his fellow coaches have done this year. I can't believe it is coming to a close. 

I can't wait to check out what everyone else is waiting on!
