Happy Wednesday! It has been quite a while since I’ve done a What’s Up Wednesday post, so I am excited to link up today. Let’s get to it!

WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK…

We’ve been eating a lot of salads lately. I am loving that it is an easy side dish of veggies that everyone will eat.

WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT…

We watch the PGA golf tournament almost every weekend. On Easter, we were watching and reminiscing about the fun times we’ve had in Hilton Head and my mom’s Christmas card picture from the 18th fairway.

WHAT I’M LOVING…

The weather!! Oh my goodness! It has been so good! We’ve had a solid week of warm, sunny weather and I am so happy about it.

Even though we had less than ideal weather for our beach overnight, reading my book on the beack was wonderful. Hearing the waves and feeling my toes in the sand is always wonderful!

WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO…

As usual, I have been doing the three Cs – cheering, chefing, and chauferring. Jack has been playing alot of golf and it’s fun to watch!

Luke is back on the soccer field. He also played in his first lacrosse game of the season and scored a goal!

Jack’s playing a bunch of golf and playing well!

I took a dip in the ocean when we were there for an overnight on spring break.

I ran a 5K with some friends on Sunday for the Ronald McDonald House. I was happy to wake up on Monday morning and feel great. It has been quite a while since I’ve run 3 miles, but I wasn’t sore at all.

We celebrated two birthdays. Jack turned 16 and Luke turned 14. I love birthdays!

WHAT I’M DREADING…

Honestly, my alarm in the morning. I love this time of year, but it is busy! I have a hard time getting to bed early and that alarm is painful in the morning.

WHAT I’M WORKING ON…

I am working on membership things for our pool as we fill up our final spots for a great summer.

I am preparing materials for my evaluation conference this month. We get formally observed and evaluated every three years and this is my year.

I am looking at the rest of the school year and making sure I can get everything done in the time allotted.

I am weeding our library. It is a hard job for me, but we weed a few sections each year to make sure the books on the shelf are the absolute best for the kids!

WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT…

The pool opens in 25 days!

I am going to be our summer swim team coach! I am a little nervous, but so excited to get back to coaching. I started coaching summer swim when I was 15 years old and continued coaching in some capacity until I was 31. I coached for 2 USS swimming teams and 3 summer teams. Jack is a junior coach again. We are going to have a great time!

WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING…

I shared what I’ve been reading yesterday. There are 15 books on there for April. I’ve been reading a lot of middle grade books and read a great book for this weekend.

We usually have some sports on the television. We’ve been watching the Capitals, the Bananas, the Braves, and the golfers. I’ve been watching some standup on Netflix for funny background noise. I thought the Leanne Morgan, Nate Bargatze, and Jim Gaffigan specials were pretty funny.

WHAT I’M WEARING…

I have been wearing a few new things. I got these dresses at J.Crew factory and love them!! I am wearing my regular size.

We went to the outlets at the beach and I got these sandals at Crocs. They are so comfy! I might order a second pair in a neutral color.

I got these sandals and they passed the all day teacher test!

WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND…

We have a clean up day at the pool to get things ready to open. I am hoping to meet with the junior coaches, too. Luke is taking his placement tests for high school. I am sure we’ll get to a golf course between Luke’s soccer and lacrosse games.

WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH…

May is always full of great stuff! This year I’m looking forward to golf playoffs, band concerts, the boys’ confirmation, play day, the pool opening, an author visit or two, swim team, warm weather, and more family dinners!

WHAT ELSE IS NEW…

I have my eye on the new Swig prints. I think they have gotten access to my inner most thoughts and are designing cups that I can’t possibly resist! Have you seen the books, 2 different suns, sherbet stripes, blue swirls, and orange and pink floral? I love them all! I need to figure out a deal with Swig and/or find some new mug storage to keep up with this. My favorite sizes are the 22 oz travel mug and the 24 oz party cup.

I think that about sums up what we’ve been up to. I hope you’ve been up to some good stuff, too. Have a great day full of sunshine and books!
