Happy things with which to end the week

Sawyer had a fun final day of preschool {I dashed up on my lunch hour the other day to be there for the last 15 minutes}. He is now officially kindergarten-bound, and rather excited about it!

The "graduate" and his wonderful preschool teacher, Erin

This morning I went to my favourite bookstore to do my very last bit of book buying for the school library. I loved that part of the job... perusing all the beautiful children's books and filling boxes of them to take back to school. Since this was to be my last trip {I'm leaving my library position and will be teaching Grade 1 in September}, I decided to take myself for a cup of tea and a scone at Murchies first. And then I splurged and bought this Gruffalo doll {seriously, how could I resist?}

Tea + books = a few of my favourite things

More fresh flowers on our kitchen table, and this little cutie {with another loose tooth!} peeking out from behind them

Love these big, bright blooms

And a few more for good measure:  I went to dinner with the school staff tonight and laughed my head off with my favourite colleagues. Finally finding some time to write a few letters to faraway friends. One week left of work and I'll be on summer vacation! Three weeks from now, we'll be in Sorrento {oh, it will do me good}. And while I type this, am also instant-messaging with Em :)

Happy Weekend!
