If you've ever had your own graduation party, wedding or some other type of shower then you know how fast they go and how chaotic they can be.

School's out this week for our students, but we still have a few days left for in-service/trade days. The end of the school year is such a different and yet similar feeling as a teacher as it used to be as a kid. Thanks for joining us on another trip down the lazy brook!

Two weeks left in the school year is such an awkward time. Everyone is checked out but if you stop doing work, all chaos breaks loose. We are counting down the days to summer along with all the kids! Thanks for joining us for another trip down the very lazy brook!

Did anyone else out there discover 2% and whole milk later in life? Zach's family was a skim milk family, so when he discovered there was something else it was a bit mind blowing to him. We hope that everyone else's May is going well. Thanks for joining us on another trip down the lazy brook!

We finally got Steph the CRV of her dreams, even though its not brand new it's new to us! Both of our last two new vehicles have actually been older than the ones we were currently driving. Older is better in a lot of cases with cars and Zach can't work on the newer ones as much! Thanks for joining us on another trip down the lazy brook!

For all of us teachers, the dreaded PSSA week will quickly be upon us. We're trying to get mentally prepared by staying positive but with this recent hot weather, its tough being stuck inside.

I'm not sure if Steph and I have ever talked about such a wide variety of topics as we did this week. One thing we did talk about is our lack of moderation sometimes with our favorite snacks... I guess recognizing there is a problem is the first step... Thanks for joining us on another trip down the lazy brook!

This week we get into why some names will never work for us because we are teachers and have certain experiences with certain names. Also, we re-discovered there is a pregnant man emoji?🫃 We have questions...

Do you have trouble ending phone conversations or getting away from those small talkers at work? No?

We're not sure how we got into the topics we did today while talking about the holidays, but hey... I guess there are some questions nobody ever asks that are still worth pondering. Thanks for joining us on another trip down the lazy brook!

How can you get to do everything you want to do with your life when you might not figure that out until you're retired? Steph and I ponder that conundrum of life this week as October is winding down and the seasons are changing. Thanks for joining us on another trip down the lazy brook.

This time of year we look forward to MNF, TNF and Survivor, but this week we forgot all about Survivor because basketball was on. We do have some questions about how Survivor works nowadays but for basketball news- the Knicks, 76ers and Spurs all won. Thanks for joining us for another trip down the lazy brook!

Steph and I are back to work this week, it is always bittersweet either way- ending the school year or ending summer. We are at least thankful to be back to a regular routine! Thanks for joining us on another trip down the lazy brook!
