A Rainy Day


Well... I don't know if we are going to have any trick or treaters. It is really stormy here and appears to be a large storm. :( What am I going to do with all this left over candy?

Well, I know what I could do with the left over candy, but that is not what I need to do. heehee.

Michael and I went to the church Halloween party last night. It was about 10 minutes before the party and we decided to dress up. As we were rummaging through the closet we got a brilliant idea! Michael would wear his baseball get up and I would be the ball. We were the "perfect catch!" Amazing what all you can do with a trash bag! Hey roomies, remember the 5some pumpkins we were? Another great costume out of trash bags. :)

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween!


Candy, Pumpkins, Crisp weather, candy!!!!

We are having so much fun this week gearing up for the big "Great Pumpkin Celebration" Friday! Today we had an extra 10 minutes before the day was over. I turned off the lights and told scary,spooky stories! They all screamed and jumped at the end. Hee-Hee!
I am making pumpkin cookies tonight for my students. I love these pumpkin cookies. I used to beg my mom to make these every year for my class. 20 years later kindergarteners still love them like me! Crazy, but true I was in Kindergarten 20 years ago.
tomorrow we are reading one of my favorite monster stories and making one of my favorite art activities! Friday will be nuts-o as it being the first party and all, but I will survive!

Did I mention the candy? ohh pink starburst here I come. YUMMY!

Side note: The 'stros made me a zombie teacher today. I wish we could win already, but we will see. I am still rootin and tootin' for the 'stros!

For a little kinder humor:
Today we were writing a story about what my monster eats. I had had one kid write "My monster eats butts." He had a great picture of a monster with a butt beside it. Oh, to be 5! Needless to say, We had to pick something more appropriate for school. Speaking of butts, I learned a new word for the "b" word-/boo-talk-is/. See even I can learn everything I need to know in kindergarten!

Go Astros!

I really hope the 'Stros win. They sure are freezing their patooties off there in chi-town. My girls know what that is like, right! Have I mentioned I have developed a crush on Ausmus? Too bad were both taken. haha j/k
I went shopping for the first time since school had started way back in August! The mall missed me and I missed it. I am trying to earn money for our school, but I think the private schools in our area have us beat. You turn in your receipts at the customer service booth and the school that has spent the most during the months of September and October. See...Shopping for a cause!
