The Wall!

I've been working on our giraffe wall here and there when I have a good chunk of time. I have to admit that as I started that I was a bit leary of the end outcome, but it looks better every time I work on it!

Cake Bites

For a school fundraiser I've been making dozens and dozens of cake bites! They are time consuming but look so fun when they are done! Best part....they are SOOOO STINKIN' YUMMY!

Magic Mountain Trip

For a reward for students who made their reading goals, we take them to Magic Mountain for a day. They can either ski, snowboard, or tube. It is so much fun! I opted to be wimpy and just tube and hang out in the lodge, because the slopes were a bit icy! You can tell by the pictures how much fun we had!

Sendin off the hubby!

Before Ben had to leave I wanted to spend one more day with him....just can't get enough! This morning we got up and I made apple turnovers for breakfast and we did a little shopping for stuff to decorate the shelf we hung. After that, Brooke and Phil bought an eliptical so we ran to help them take the beast to the basement! Chase was thrilled! We finished off with lunch at Idaho Joes and I had to run to do the after school program. I came home to find some beautiful flowers! What a great guy!

House updates

While Ben was home this time my mom got us a beautiful wall hanging with the Proclamation to the Family and the Living Christ. Along with hanging that, we have been working on a few other projects like the giraffe wall in the office and a shelf for our bathroom.

Christmas Door Decorations Competition

We decided to do a door decoration competition between the teachers at work. It's been fun. People try to psych eachother out and really get creative! Mr. Blacker's door is hilarious! It says "These budget cuts are hard on everybody!" My door is the red snowflake on the inside and the Grinch on the outside!

Tis The Season!

Well, we found out that Ben is going to be working during Thanksgiving. We were planning on putting up Christmas stuff when he came home, but now I'm going to go there and make him dinner, so I decided to put up my Christmas stuff this weekend. I didn't realize what a big task it would be! It took me 2 full evenings, but it looks beautiful now!
