Nick's Birthday Party!

Nick turned another year older the day after Thanksgiving this year.  Sarah set up cake and game night for him; and it was a lot of fun!

 

 

 

 

 

We played some new fangled game, I think it was called Band Hero.  It had some really good songs on it.  I of course was a bystander for the majority of the night until Nick MADE me sing the YMCA, thanks again Nick.

Happy Birthday!

Chad's 2009 hunting season

Chad was able to go on a family hunting trip to Circle, MT over November 13-15. He had a marvelous time with his family. They camped out and ended up shooting 2 deer! It was a successful trip.

Over Thanksgiving, he took my brother Nick out for the first time in almost 12 years (so Chad says).  They went out locally on Nick's birthday (the 27th) and didn't shoot anything.  The next day Chad, his dad, his brother Chris, and Nick took a trip to Circle where Nick shot a big ole buck!  Chad has reported back to us that they all had a good time, so that's good!

Chad opted to not get a tag this year because he would have to hunt as a non-resident; I told him who cares, but apparently he does.  Maybe next year he'll decide to, but who knows!

Happy Thanksgiving (a little late!)

Just wanted to say Happy Turkey day late =)  Please enjoy some of the beautiful cornucopia pictures that the 5th grade students composed for the holiday season:

The email I have been longing for.....

I received an email this evening from the student teacher coordinator with news that I have been anticipating to hear for the last three months!

I got placed! (partially)

As of January 4, 2010 I will be reporting to an elementary school in Mandan learning the ropes of and teaching 1st grade.  I will be there until March 2. 

I will have another 8 weeks learning the ropes and teaching Kindergarten after I'm done with 1st grade. 

Just thought I would share that news with all of you.

I will post later about Thanksgiving and the big changes coming later on this week, or next. 

Time flies when you're having fun?

Time has slipped away from me this past month.  I have been so busy with school that just yesterday I thought it was only the second week of Novemeber.  Thanksgiving break is nearing upon us soon, so that will be nice.  I accomplished a lot of my homework today, which was nice.  I am off to bed for now, I will try and update about all of the random things that have been going on.  Lots of chaos and entertainment around our place lately.

Bare with me

I'm trying to learn how to do some new things with the blog, so the layout/background will be changing a lot in order for me to learn how to change things.  Thanks for your patience!

Our Halloween

Chad and I had a pretty low key Halloween again.  I had to work 5:30 a.m. to 1, and then open again on Sunday, so I was tired.  We had pizza shaped like a pumpkin for dinner, that was interesting.  We had absolutely no trick or treaters AGAIN this year, not even the kid from across the hall!  So, we went to Jarod and Heidi's house (they only got their niece and nephew!) and played Hit the Deck and Phase Ten Dice. 

Chad of course decorated this year again with his lights.  Those lights will be the death of me haha.  He bought some new ones this year at Hobby Lobby, but when he opened them it turns out they were Christmas lights! oops!  I put up window stickies and a ghost "boo" sign on the door.  Maybe I'll take a picture of his lights later and put it up.  Can't wait for Christmas lights to go up, now that is definitely an adventure in itself!

We went to Walmart earlier that day and found it PACKED full of little kids.  Apparently you can go trick or treating at Walmart haha.  I thought this was very interesting, but it was fun to see all the little ones in their costumes (especially since we did not get any trick or treaters). 

It was a fun, low low key Halloween.  Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween!
