Three Day Weekend!

I'm up past 9:00! On a normal school night, I would be kicking myself and feeling guilty if I weren't in bed by now. Not only were we out of school today, tomorrow is a Professional Learning Day. Since I won't have any students, I don't feel as pressured to get lots of sleep. (hahaha...if I don't get at least 8 hours, it is a very challenging day---management wise. It's not so easy to keep the positive climate in the classroom when the teacher is grouchy!)

I'm scoping out new ideas from blog friends. Of course, I always find a million things I want to do and use in my classroom. It's so exciting, and it makes me feel like a nerd. My favorite thing I found tonight was this...



I absolutely LOOOVVVEEE fonts, but I was a dummy at how to download and use them until I stumbled across their site. Now, I have every single font from their website on my computer. YAY...can't wait to create something with them.

News since my last post:
1. We finally found a chocolate lab. She was 1 day old, so she will coming home on December 15th. Her name is Holley :)

2. Bri, my sister-in-law, is being induced on Thursday or Friday...so I will be an aunt by the end of the week! I cannot wait to meet her and see how pretty she is.

3. I decorated my house for Christmas this weekend. I was thinking if I didn't do it now, who knows how long it would be before I had an opportunity again? I was inspired by the Christmas-themed girls night we had on Saturday. It was impossible NOT to get in the Holiday spirit with our Christmas movie watching, hot cocoa sipping, cooking baking, and holiday tunes playing! I love the holidays, Thanksgiving included. But since I was a little girl, we have never had a Thanksgiving without a Christmas tree. Some say I'm decorating too soon, I say it's part of the tradition!

I think that's all I have to share for now. Have a great week---& go vote tomorrow!
