Halloween came up way too fast. I remember when I used to plan costumes 6 months in advance. My mommy skills are broken or something? Anyway, thank goodness for Bob who took Alayna to party city the day before the Trunk-Or Treat and she decided to be Red Riding Hood, although I am not sure she knows who that is. Then, the DAY of the party, Kayla took Tyler to walmart to get a skeleton shirt and she was a bed head. So here you have it folks, awesome in action….
At school, I was an egg. My para was bacon so the kids thought we were pretty awesome!
Alayna went trick or treating with a friend while the rest of us turned off the porch light and hunkered in the basement. Sometimes its nice when your kids are older!
This week Tyler took his Drivers test and passed!! Whoohoo! He starts Drivers Ed on Tuesday. Just remember Iowa folks, I have warned you…
(I love Bobs face!)
This week Kayla built a toothpick bridge for Physics. I can let her tell more about it but everyone was impressed with it and it held quite a bit of weight.
This week at work has been even busier than normal. This week we got the middle school book fair set up. This is my 1st time running one on my own. I pray for its success because we REALLY need new books.
I set up the one at the high school on Wednesday- we will be running it 2 parent nights as well. I can already feel the exhaustion setting in. How you can love your job so much but be more exhausted than you ever have in your life?
I did run into a snafu…the HS principal informed me it was my year to be formally observed 3 times. Yes, this put me in tears as I just cant add any more to my plate. I have my 1st preobservation meeting tomorrow and observation next Monday. We also had several thing stolen from the HS library including my giant candy corn incentive jar (everyone got to make a guess when they checked out a book and the winner wins the jar.) I feel like the progress I am making there is so slow and such a struggle. But I keep trying…
Here is a picture of Alaynas fruit tray (palm trees). Adorable!

If we had known, we could have loaned Alayna a wolf!
