My blogging break is officially over! Much of my recent time has been devoted to preparing for my first mini-marathon that I ran in February. Talk about tough! I have never been a runner (even in my super-active high school days) so I was extremely proud of this accomplishment. I started with the Couch to 5k, and I ran my first 5k in September. My sweet hubby wanted me to continue running and bribed me with a February trip to Disney World to run the Princess Half Marathon. Apparently, I can be easily bought! The race was February 26th. It started at Epcot and went through the Magic Kingdom and back to Epcot. The most I ran before the mini was 10 miles, so let's just say it was a challenge for me. But I am so glad I did it.

Now that my race is over I still plan on running, but I will have more time to devote to other pleasures (like blogging!) This week a made a sweet little freebie for you guys. It is a cookies and milk theme noun, verb and adjective sort complete with two recording sheets for differentiation. I think you are gonna like it!
Please note, when you go to Google Docs is does something funny to the clip art. Click Download Original to resolve the issue.
Okay, guys. I hope you have a great weekend. Gotta run!

Thank you. These are wonderful. To run a race at Disney would be a dream. What a great gift from your husband.

Beth, I meant peruse (as in read other people's blogs carefully) but I guess I do pursue blogging as well :)
ReplyDeleteSally, I thought about running in costume, but I wanted to run in a technical fabric. I don't think I could go 13 miles in an itchy costume.
Love this! Thanks for sharing!!

ReplyDeleteHeather, how pretty and colorful!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to steal it and go a step further and bring in a toaster oven to bake 2 cookies (for me) hahaha. I will have 2 cookies in brown bags for each of them. We will talk about what the cookies smell like, what we want to do to them, describe how they look, eat them (or save them)and finish the rest of the handout in pairs or groups. Well done, thanks.
