High Five for Friday Halloween Edition

I have to tell you, I absolutely love Halloween. 

I mean, as a kid, what's not to love? 

You get to dress up and get free candy, plus all those "Harvest Festivals" at church!

The older I got, the better it seemed to get. 

My super creative mom decided to start decorating a Halloween tree. 

It is one of my favorite traditions to this day and I love that she still does it even though all us kids are out of the house. 

In college, Halloween meant the Florida/Georgia Game. 

Not to mention that little engagement that happened Halloween weekend not too far back. 

 

1. Kyle and I were Superhero ready for Trunk of Treat this weekend!
It was a lot of fun, especially because we never get any trick-or-treaters at our place!

 

   

2. I learned how to arm knit this week and made this scarf. 

This will probably end up as a gift for lots of people this Christmas, sorry I'm not sorry.   

3. One of my wonderful parents designed this for our Halloween Party today!
It was probably the best cupcake cake I've seen!

As I passing out the cupcakes, one of my students asked, "Who made the cupcakes?"
Me: "Our room mom brought them."
Her response: "I know she brought them, but who actually made them?"

Oh five year olds!

 

   
4. Halloween Costumes!
The top group is the K team. Of course we would be the group that all dressed up!

 
5. Mission Planning
At the end of the day, one of the other teachers sent me this picture.
She had captioned it, "Superwoman and Batwoman planning their next mission."

High Five For Friday!

I have been completely out of the blogging loop with the busyness of school!

Not promising anything, but I'm hoping to post at least once a week. 

So here's a quick update!

1. It's Halloween time!

 I decorated a little bit as soon as October hit!

I just love Halloween!

2. Team planning meeting have really helped us to get our stuff organized.

I'm hoping that this will make the next quarter go much smoother. 

I've been feeling completely unprepared.

3. Stephanie and I have been meeting weekly to plan our newest Bible Study. 

It's been wonderful getting closer to her.

Plus, who can say no to Pumpkin Spice Frapps and The Lineage of Grace?

4. I tried making Taco Chili in the Crockpot for the first time and loved it!

Coming home to hot soup always feels like fall.

5. We got these super cute school shirts for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

Probably the only time you'll ever catch me in pink!

High Five for Friday!

1. This week was what I deemed my first official week of summer. 

No obligations, no travel, no anything!

2. My women's bible study is off to a good start. 

We're reading through The Power of a Praying Wife.

It has already lead to some great discussions and a new mindset on how to truly pray for your spouse.

3. We finalized vacation plans finally. 

I always feel so much better once everything is finalized. 

4. I spent a good chunk of my day on Pinterest this week and came away feeling super productive.

Pinning = Productivity?

For real, I found some great things for my classroom for next year!

I can't wait to start making some of the projects I've found.

5. I successfully made ribs in the crockpot this week. 

I've always been nervous to try them, but they were on sale this week so I decided now was my best bet.  

Ready for some more butterbeer!

Not too much going on around here, but I'm okay with that!

High Five for Friday

 1. I finally have my new computer up and running! 

Going from a Mac back to a PC is NOT fun!

 2. My birthday was a few weeks ago and I go some wonderfully sweet cards from my students!

3. On the night of my birthday, Kyle took me out to dinner. 

When we got home the power was out in the house. 

Thankfully I had gotten a new huge candle for my birthday. 

Unfortunately, we didn't get to do a lot of the things Kyle had planned. 

This one makes me think of The Help "you is kind, you is smart, you is important."
 

And of course, who doesn't like "poos" sometimes I'm really thankful for pictures!

4. Teaching Kindergarteners how to write makes me giggle. 

Their sweet innocence trying to sound out the words is wonderful. 

5. I joined a life group at my church finally! 

I've been wanting to get involved in a women's one and they just started one!

It's a bible study and fitness class which is pretty awesome, and has been a great motivation to start working out at least a little.

High Five For Friday!

  1. Harry Potter World, duh!  

 

2. National Pancake Day!

 

 

3.  Does anyone else like peanut butter on their pancakes?

 

4. New haircut

 

 

5. Lonely little parking space. 

Kyle and I pulled in right around the same time and both parked in visitor spots.

Now neither of us are parked outside our condo!

   

High Five For Friday

1// Kyle started grocery shopping for me since he has short days three days a week.

I hate grocery shopping so this is super exciting!

2// Drinking Sparkling Cider. Clearly this cup screams classy.

3// I just started reading Gone Girl for the start of Bon's Book Club!

 4// We're heading back to Harry Potter World with friends this weekend!

5// Our landlord is a very sweet man, but today we couldn't help but laugh!

He showed up in full on Griffindor colors, striped polo and gold pants.

He was telling us about how his son make "beer" for children. 

Turns out his son works for Haribo, the company that makes Gummy Bears!      

Anyone else joining Bon's Book Club?

 

High Five for Friday

1// Days off!

2// Strawberry Picking!

3// Perks of driving to work at 7am

4// New recipes

5// Games nights with friends!

High Five for Friday

These past two weeks have passed by in a blur of nothingness since starting back to work and school.

We both have been extra tired and tend to come home and veg until bedtime. 

This really has made it hard for me to think of something to write about. 

True to form, I've taken no pictures since we went to Harry Potter world. Sorry!

1. Thank goodness for the long weekend! 

It's only been two weeks back and I'm so ready for the break!

2. I'm thankful for having a half day and teacher planning day back to back. 

I actually switched out my main bulletin board.

It's been the same all year...

My bad!

3. Recently I've decided that my evenings are best spent like this.

It may or may not have reached the point where I change into pajamas as soon as I get home. 

Luckily Kyle wears pajama pants around too. 

No judgement in our house. 

4. I'm thankful for the cold cooler front that is supposed to be coming through!
80s in January is just too hot.
Especially when my classroom is in the 60s!

5. True to form. I made Kyle an assignment calendar once he got all his syllabi.

He might not appreciate or use it, but at least I feel better. 

High Five for Friday

1. 4 Family Christmases! 

Nothing says the holidays like spending a little time with everyone!

2. You know you're an adult when your favorite Christmas gifts involve a laminator, drawers, and clothes...

3. Starting Bones and loving it!

I may or may not be halfway through season 1 already...

4. Finding a simple and awesome bread recipe.

I will for sure be making that a lot more!

5. Christmas Break! 

Yay for one more week!

High Five For Friday!

It's funny how the closer winter break comes the more I can't wait for Friday's to roll around. 

And with that:

1. Only one more week till Christmas Break! 

Here's to a week of field day, Christmas crafts, school wide PJ day, and The Polar Express!

2. Kids with crazy haircuts! 

He is so ridiculously excited about his hair, it's a shooting star.

3. Free fruit Kyle brought home!

 I love love love blackberries!

 

 4. Our Christmas tree! 

Those silver ornaments are like ninjas. 

Kyle didn't even know I put them on!

5. The Hobbit

I'm taking Kyle with a bunch of his friends tomorrow. 

It's a part of his Christmas countdown.

He is so excited to go, which is really the only reason I'm excited. 

3 hours just doesn't seem like my idea of a good time.
