Gobble Gobble...

What do you get when you use...

Well, a turkey farm of course! Little homeslice and I made these for my class tomorrow. They are so cute, and were way simple! We always have a Thanksgiving feast at school to celebrate the first Thanksgiving, and of couse it fits right into our nutrition unit. (minus these of course, but the rest of the feast does contain the food groups!) :) Have a happy Thanksgiving! I know we have so much to be thankful for!

Cozy Reading...

Okay, so I love when people share good books with me. I have always been a book worm. I love reading. It seems like I don't have much time to read but I just have to, so I usually stay up way too late reading in bed. Of course, then I have to wake up early for work and I am always cussing myself because I stayed up too late reading. Oh, well... Nothing is better to me than sitting in a warm blanket on the couch on these cold cold days reading a good book. These are the books that I have read lately that I recommend. They are all really good. Love the One Your With and Remember Me are easy, fun reading. The Pact is the one I just finished and it is really, really good. I could not put it down. It is very intense, but I loved it. I have passed all three on to different friends. I've just started a new book this weekend, I'll let you know if it's any good after I'm finished. Happy reading!

Trick Or Treat!




Happy Halloween! Our little Clone Trooper had a lot of fun! Nobody has been too surprised that PJ picked yet again, another Star Wars character! I still think it is so funny that he is such a Sci-Fi dork! He loves Star Wars and knows EVERYTHING about it. Jory and I didn't know anything about Star Wars. Apparently Payton saw the movie at my sister's house when he was like 4years old and became obsessed! Last summer the movies were on HBO and I watched them with Payton and they really are good, but geez... Anyways, the first year of Star Wars he was Darth Vador, last year he was Anakin Skywalker and this year he wanted to be Chewbaca, and that costume was way cool... however it was $400 and I am NOT that big of a fan, so he didn't get to do that... He settled with Clone Trooper. He really wanted me to buy a little Yoda costume for Furgy our little dog, but again, NOT that big of a fan!!!!

Ava was sooo cute in her little Minnie Mouse costume! She had the cutest little yellow high heels... So cute.

By the way, I hope I don't offend anyone but I just have to say I HATE trunk or treat! I know that it is a fast, safe way to get the kids loaded up, but it's not real trick or treating! I remember running through the neighborhood as a kid with all the other neighbor kids. Payton is at the age he really wants to load up and NOBODY is home. Every street had like 3 houses with lights on. That sucks! I told Jory that next year we may just have to load up and go to Junction to show him some real trick or treating...

I am glad this week is over, it has been so crazy at school. We had family harvest night this week, a field trip to the Corn Maze, Halloween Party at school, and then of course trick or treating. I slept in until 8 this morning and have been cleaning away. Hope everyone has a fun weekend!
