A great birthday week. . . PICS are here!
Well I can't say it was a dull week :)
With the ed. conference here, there was something going on every night this week. Sunday night I hung out with Rick and Tiff at the Currier's. . . it was great sitting and chatting and enjoying each others company. It reminded me how much I really miss them :( Monday through Wednesday was the ed. conference itself- I participated in a session lead by Rick on how to truly engage students in their learning. Though it was a slap in the face how far I have to go as a teacher, it was refreshing to have something to challenge me and rethink the way I do things (even if I can only change one little thing at a time). Tuesday night Deb had a Stampin' Up party that turned out great. And unfortunately, I spent Wednesday sick, and Thursday I was still recuperating, but was doing well enough to carry on a conversation, which is more than I can say about Wednesday night, at the pre-birthday party and going away party for Tiff and the boys.
Thursday night, everyone from out of town left, and it was nice to have a quiet birthday dinner at the Currier's.
Deb and the kids decorated, and Jason made a yummy, comfort food, dinner with rice and creamy chicken. We finished the evening by watching Over the Hedge and going to bed early :) It was a lovely end to the day! Thanks you guys!
Friday brought a work day, snowy weather, and the annual Halloween Carnival in the evening. I had asked Deb to bring something back from ANC for me- something colorful and fun. . . she choose the perfect outfit :)
I don't know what I am, but a chance to wear a flaming pink hat, a neon-green boa, and sparkly eyelashes can't be passed up! :) thanks Deb!
Saturday I spent getting sub plans put together for the week. I will be leaving Sunday afternoon with our seniors to visit career and school opportunities they have after they graduate. I'm looking forward to the trip, but am feeling the stress of being out of the classroom so much.
Well, November is here. . . crazy as that is. . . I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween, whatever you decide to do. :)
