I'm Back!

It has been a few weeks since I've posted and it's just been crazy busy! I think my other new years resolution should be making sure to blog 2x a week! Now that I'm nursing a cold (thankfully it's not pinkeye, strep, ear infection or stomach flu that has been also going around my classroom), it was the perfect rainy Wisconsin winter day to catch up with me!

The last weekend in November, my future brother in law turned 21. He attends the same college I just graduated from a year ago. Time sure flies! We went out in downtown P-ville to help him celebrate and babysit. :)

 Getting sung Happy Birthday in Spanish!

Tequila Shot

The Brothers - You can't tell Pat is excited ;)

I smelled like fire after standing in front of it with Paddy.

T and I

I love my future brother - by far my favorite picture of us :)

It was a great night and I was the best sister in law ever to hold his free t-shirt all night and help walk him home.

Now that it's December we are also getting into crunch time with some wedding things. I'll have to post all about that soon!

Thanksgiving Weekend

It has been forever since I've posted! It has been a crazy month full of teaching, wedding planning, and prepping for the holidays!

Here are some photos from the weekend!

My brother and the pups. They were very excited to see him!

Miss Bailey

I got to spend an evening with my bestie and her little girl. Super excited to have girls night at her new house!!

Treats on Thanksgiving for the pups.

The tree at my parents all put up!

Black Friday fuel at the mall thanks to Starbucks!

End of October Classroom Update

Our classroom got spruced up close to Halloween. My co-lead brought in pumpkins and a long term sub that has been in our room brought in some plants for us. I just love those pots!

 We made a spider that "moved" around our classroom during our spider theme. He stayed around for Halloween too.

We sorted leaves and spider rings in our math center. :)

Elf on the Shelf

It seriously felt like Christmas morning to be handed a package knowing that I won one of the 5,000 free Elf on the Shelfs for teachers! I entered a form knowing that I probably wouldn't get one. I should have went and bought a lottery ticket the day I got it! I am SUPER excited to use him in the classroom in December!
