Hello again!

Well, school has been kicking my butt. I have 8 more kids than last year which means 8 more of everything. And while most of my kids are super sweet, they tend to be lacking in the ability to keep their mouths closed. Which leads to long, headache inducing days. They are getting better, but slowly.

So, what has been going on lately?

Hurrican Isaac came and went. We got 4 days of school for it, and combined with Monday off for Labor Day, we had a surprise 7 day weekend! You would think I would use this time for great things, but I got nothing major accomplished. I marathoned the entirety of The Pacific (watch it, its good) and made 3 new Flat Stanleys for my class (school uniform, classic,and LSU fan). I was lucky enough to have power the entire time, so it was an easy storm for me.

Here are some of the highlights from the past month or so...

LSU Stanley and "Hurricane" Isaac

Hurricane holiday Stanley crafting

my neighbor is King Kong...yes, that is a hanging bushel of bananas

attended the LSU season opener against Washington...bought tickets for $12 each about 5 minutes after the game started...cant beat that!

Learned a new way to curl my hair...will be sharing more about this later in the week

found a delicious new gelato flavor at Whole Foods...banana chocolate swirl. If you like banana flavored things, try it!

Our class got a pet gerbil, Nilla (because she is the color of a nilla wafer)

got free samples of Mario Badescu skin care products. I had already bough a few at Ulta, but am excited to try these new ones. If you fill out their skin survey, they will send you the recommended samples for free!

I promise to make a better effort!

Until later this week :)
