Here are some pictures from the ward trunk or treat and Cornbelly's this weekend. We were having fun getting into the Halloween spirit. And I must say, I love her in her costume.

Oh the cute cute little things

Hey, so just a few cute things to post. She is only 21 months, but she does say and do some cute (and also aggravating) things. She had a difficult day this week where she was just being whiny all day long. So, as we are at a store, I looked at her and said, "You are driving me bonkers!" About 5 minutes later, I noticed that she was singing "booonnnkeeerrrs" to her own little tune while dancing. I watched her sing it over and over again for about 3 minutes. It was so cute. She had no idea what she was doing or what I really meant by that.

My other favorite thing is her great "Yaahh" that comes when we ask her if she wants to do something that she enjoys. It's just great to see her personality.

Fall weather

Just wanted to post quickly and say that I love fall. My absolute favorite season will always be summer, but fall is giving it a run for its money. I have been enjoying the cool, but still warm weather. The beautiful colors of changing leaves. The fun of picking out pumpkins and finding Halloween costumes. That's it; just wanted to post about really liking fall.

Oh, and one more thing. Under a hundred days left until the new baby arrives:) yahoo!

Don't worry, I have back up. . .

Let me just preface these comments by saying that I really love where I am this year. I really like the Middle School setting and I feel like I am working enough time to get everything I need done, but still see my daughter and get enough rest. I really like it!

Like today; I have a boy that is in the 'life skills' unit, meaning they are working more on functional skills than staying near grade level. I don't know if it is the shirt or what, but he and about 3 others finally noticed I am pregnant after I've been seeing them for the past month or so. He preceded to tell me that I should name my daughter (1 whole minute pause) Nelly. I told him I would have to talk to my husband about that and he said that he knows my husband will like it.

Then, he tells me that just in case I can't make it to my husband and hospital, he can help me out. He then tells me 'I'm a scout'. I said that was great. Then, he said that means he helps other people out. So, he tells me, I can be a scout doctor and deliver your baby. I smile, try not to laugh, and think about the good hands I'm in here at school just in case my baby decides to come before I can get to the hospital.
