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!

My Love/Hate Relationship

Can I please tell you that I hate going out of town because I feel like I can never catch back up. 

Hubs and I went out of town for his best friend's wedding this weekend. 

I was already behind before we left with report cards due, half-days at school, and "teacher planning" aka please sit through these meetings all day and not have any time to plan. 

But this post isn't about any of that. Stay tuned though because apparently I have 50+ photos from the past week and a half. 

October,

We really did use to get along. 

Cooler weather.

All things pumpkin. 

My favorite holiday.

We really go all out costume wise...

Having a legit excuse to watch Hocus Pocus

And lets not forget I got engaged in October.

Sadly, ever since I began this whole teaching thing October seems to mean other things.

Like being sick for almost a whole month straight with different things.

The end of the first quarter, boo report cards.

And all sorts of other craziness that didn't seem to effect me before. 

So long October, 

I'll remember you not so fondly when I'm dealing with my kiddos coming down from a sugar high and lack of sleep. 

See you next year, hopefully your redeeming qualities will once again outweigh the negative.

aka, please don't let me have strep again!
