Happy Halloween

Thought since I had a few minutes today I would try and get a post done. I'm unfortunately home today with Adam who this morning had a 103.6 degree fever. I don't know what's going on with the little guy, but he's been sleeping all morning. You know he's not feeling well when he does that!! Don't know if this is a new bug or remnants from when he was sick a week or so ago. Hopefully this isn't a preview of the winter to come!





Briana is officially ready for Halloween now that she has lost her third tooth!!! She was a little excited about it!!! When she could twist the tooth around and smile at you with the back of the tooth showing, we knew it was time for it to be pulled!!



Adam being sick will put a little damper on trick-or-treating tonight. : ( Bret's planning to stay home with Adam and I will take Briana up to Georgetown. We are meeting some of her friends up there and will go with them. Should be fun. Too bad our little Spiderman will miss the festivities.



Hopefully my class is doing okay today. I hated to be gone today on Halloween of all days, but you've got to do what you've got to do!! Poor sub! I've really been enjoying my new class, but it's a huge amount of work. Good thing my energy's back up or I never would have made it past the first week!!!



Here's a little sneak preview of the kids' costumes. I'll try and post some trick-or-treating shots later. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Pumpkin Patch

The kids and I went down to Wilton yesterday and went to the pumpkin patch with Barb. The first place we stopped at had lots of animals, things to play on, and of course, a tractor/hay ride. They loved the baby goats (6 week old twins) and climbing the trees. We even got to have our very own private hay ride - lucky us!! All the other trailers were full of people, but we chose a time when nobody else showed up!! It was actually not nearly as crowded as I would have expected either. Maybe most people actually went before the last weekend before Halloween! : )


We then went to another place that had a corn field maze. I had never actually been in one before, so it was a lot of fun. They kids had fun going every which way trying to find our way to the end. They said it was about "8 miles" long!!
Which way should we go??
They can't wait for Halloween. We will go up to Georgetown again, which was a lot of fun last year. We went to a Halloween party last night, so they broke in their costumes. More pics to come soon!! Hope everyone has a spooktacular Halloween too!

New position

Tomorrow I start my new position as a kindergarten/first grade teacher. I said good-bye to my 200+ students and will meet my 20 students in the morning! I can't wait!! Of course, this weekend has been work overload. I spent from 8 o'clock yesterday morning until 6 o'clock last night moving stuff out of my old room and working in my new room. I was back there again for 4 or 5 more hours this morning, plus doing planning and curriculum here at home. Yikes! I'm beat and the work week hasn't even started yet!! : ) I talked with one of the subs I had while I was gone for my treatment who will be taking over for a while in my old spot. He said he's dubbed that position the "Iron Man Position". He completely understands why I've taken the opportunity to move to another teaching position! I hope it's a great move for me. I'll keep you all posted about how it goes.
