I just returned to Rosebud from a great 28 hour trip to Hill City, SD! My friend and former roommate, Allison, ran the half at the Crazy Horse marathon. We left Saturday morning, stopped at Wall Drug, then in Rapid City to eat at our favorite restaurant, went through Keystone and Custer and landed in Hill City. We camped in the back of her minivan on a dirt road in The Hills. It's amazing what a change of scenery can do for a person! Allison is a person with an incredibly positive attitude and a fun personality. We had a blast!

The complimentary shampoo and conditioner from our "hotel"! (I found these in the back of Allison's van as we were setting up our sleeping quarters and thought it was hilarious.
Last week school was fine. Nothing too new in the 1st grade world. I am going to attempt to write more regularly so that I can share the silliness that happens on a daily basis. To be completely honest I had been planning my lessons from day-to-day, which made it hard for me to keep up with the blog. Now that I am lesson planning and handing them all in on Monday mornings, I will have more free time in the evening.
I have been cooking a lot, lately. After having roommates for the past 6 years, it's hard to cook for one person. Grandma Shea has always been a huge advocate of freezing things, I have fallen into this and find it to be so helpful! I know that probably sounds stupid--like, "duh Jacque, you're just figuring that out?!" But I mean more along the lines of freezing pre-portioned meals to take to school for lunch. Who'da thunk I would be that organized :)
Green peppers are 3 for $2 right now! I've been having a lot of stuffed peppers, which I don't think I could ever get sick of!
