Bad Blogger

As you fellow teachers know, things have been nuts lately. Upon our early release today, I came home and took a really good nap. It was awesome. Nathan and I took engagement pictures about a month ago and I wanted to share a few. We went with Mariam Khalili (someone we were in band with in high school). I loved her urban style and untraditional photos. I really didn't want the Olan Mills kind of pictures. I was looking for something I couldn't do myself. Mariam has been wonderful and did an amazing job. I can't wait to do bridals next and see how they turn out!

Little Nathan

My Dad is making a slideshow for Nathan and I's rehearsal dinner. I got the fantastic job of going through Nathan's mom's photo albums for pictures. Fun, right? It was, until I had to go through and scan every picture twice. The first time I went through them the scanner was jacked up and all 250 pictures came our crappy. (Why did I scan 250 pictures? I'm indecisive and also had no idea what my Dad was looking for. I also wanted them scanned so if I needed them for anything in the future it would already be done. Not to mention that if there was a fire or something at his parent's house all of those pictures would get destroyed forever. ) So I got to scan all of the pictures all over again. Yeehaw! Here are a few of my favorites...

Nathan's grandpa Walter

Blond hair!

Troublemaker :)

Panda. Very original. Panda was in a million pictures.

It's the overalls and sippy cup that up the cuteness.

Just finished taking a nap on a Friday night. Yes, it was awesome. Those kids wore me out! Now it's time to clean the apartment and begin packing for Illinois. I'm going to need some warm clothes. The highs for Thanksgiving Day are in the 30's. I don't think I'll be running in a tank and shorts like I did yesterday.

I'll have to do a real update soon, but in the meantime... I found a teal argyle blog background. I am in LOVE! More updates next week when I'm in Carbondale. They don't even have a Target within 40 miles! HELP!

Are you a rabbit?

For Red Ribbon week, everyone could dress up as their favorite book character on Friday. Most of the grades did things as a team. We had to think hard because with eight people on your team, a lot of books get ruled out quickly. We decided to dress as the different mice from the Kevin Henkes books. I immediately wanted to be Julius (a baby mouse) so I could go to Target and get adult footy pj's. (I'd secretly been wanting some for a while.) I made our ears so they would match the color of the mouse in our book. I got asked all day if I was a rabbit because of my white ears. :)

You Know You're a Texan When...

... you click on a 'cuisine' tab and get upset when Bar-B-Que isn't there. HA!
