It's the Great Pumpkin Day!

I would have to say if someone were to ask me what my favorite holiday is I would have to say.....Pumpkin Day.  What is Pumpkin Day you ask? Well..... Our story begins in the fall of 2006.  I had just started teaching at my current school and had met a group of young teachers like myself.  We all lived in the same apartment complex so in a way it was like college all over again! One Saturday I was invited over to my new friend Kate's apartment to carve pumpkins.  I went and this is what the result was this: 2007 The next year  Jake and Kate had purchased a new house and pumpkin carving took place at their new house (I cannot find my pumpkin pictures from that year!) 2008   The tradition continued and Kate still likes to talk about how it looks like my witch was squatting to urinate!: 2009   The tradition being firmly in place we decided to add something new and cook all pumpkin themed foods.  I believe that this year we made Pumpkin Pasta wit...

Timing is Everything

So last week I got a surprise package in the mail from one of my readers/person who bought my curriculum.  She decided to send me a package from Hawaii (where she resides).  I was having kind of a down week and her thoughtfulness really touched me and made me cry.  Everything in the box was tailor suited to me and my likes, it was nothing short of amazing! Everything inside of the box was wrapped up super cute! The little guy was the first thing that I opened and I love him! How cute is he!!! This stuffed panda is for Rory (somehow she knew!) Snacks! My Co-workers will thank you when I take these to work with me! Thank you so much Joy! :)
