2nd Award

Here is my second award from Stephanie, and I thought that it was particularly fitting for a slightly crummy weather day.

Here are the rules first since I like to shake things up like that:

1. Copy the award image into a post



2. List 10 things that make you happy



3. Tag 10 bloggers who brighten your day



4. Put a link to their blogs



5. Notify the award receivers



6. Recipients should link back to the sender's blog {this is totally optional!}

10 things that make me happy:

1. Listening to my babies laugh, especially the hearty chuckles while being tickled by Daddy.

2. Having girl weekends or girl talk with my gals.

3. Eating good food, especially if I don't have to cook it, clean up after it, OR pay for it!

4. Making good food for my loved ones (and sneaking in vegetables, unbeknownst to them)

5. Laying in a hammock on a warm, summer day with a good book

6. Intimate time with the hubby

7. Visiting museums and being able to see the actual artifact(s) I've only seen in pictures or read about

8. Teaching in my own classroom and seeing the "ah, ha!" moment cross on a student's face

9. Getting a chance to watch my favorite TV shows uninterrupted where I can cheer, cry, or "talk" to the screen without being scrutinized by anyone else (on-line full episodes were truly invented for moms and busy, busy people!)

10. Family!

So, there you go.

Without further ado, here are my 10 bloggers that brighten my day:

1. Mrs. Officer
2. Stephanie (but you don't have to do another one...it's just fun to read your blog!)
3. Meadowlark
4. Mindy
5. Jamie
6. Slamdunk (sorry it's kinda girly)
7. Becca
8. Kimber (but you don't have to do both of them unless you want to!)
9. Monica (" ")
10. Mrs. Fuzz

It was tough to just pick 10 since I just love keeping updated with others through blogland! Well, hope this brightens your day like it did mine!
