It just amazes me how fast time is going. It seems like it was just August. Now it is November. Which this is my favorite month, so lets hope it doesnt fly by as fast as the others.
I had a great October. I have accomplished a lot in October, and now I am eager to see what November will bring.
We had a great Halloween up here in Alaska. The community had a costume contest at the school for all ages, it was great. Kerri and I of course dressed up and went. As well as many of the other teachers. My students were so cute!
Then we handed out candy at my apartment to trick or treaters. It was fun. we still have candy left over though, so that is not cool, because I know I will eat it. I think I am just going to take it to school, out of sight out of mind right.... haha
Other than that, thursday night Kerri and I were bored and panted Zoey's toenails. It was so cute. She just laid there and let us paint them.
Also on Thursday I celebrated Halloween with all of my students. We had a blast.
I have so pictures from these events, I hope you enjoy them!
Lots of love from Alaska.
Zoey's nails all painted!!! Very cute, we used Chrome purple!
Zoey laying so still while we were painting her nails. She is a great dog. there is noway King would have let me paint his toenails, although I may try it when I come home. :)
My Jr. High boys having a popcorn eating contest. They are so funny. There was popcorn all over the floor. But it was very very funny.
My 2nd Graders with their halloween presents. Thank you Aunt Vicki for the cups, pencils, erasers and spiders, they loved them. And I had enough for all of my elementary students!! :)
Me and Kerri at the halloween costume contest. i am a baby ready for bed. I had on my pajamas, my cardinals blanket Amber made me last year for Christmas, my teddy bear Allen and Stacy gave me for graduation, my Winnie the pooh bath robe and my slippers. To top it all off I had my hair in pig tails, which everyone told me looked so cute.
Kerri was a life guard. She had her suit on, flip flops, a life saver and a whistle. We were so cute, and we had lots of fun. We didnt win, but we still had lots of fun.
OK, for those of you that dont know... I am scared of birds. They just scare me and I think they are gross.... so Jason had this great ideas a while back to give me birds as a gift... Kind of a long running joke with us... Well I gave him the birds back as a house warming gift when they moved into their house... Then somehow I got them all the way in Alaska... Kind of strange... I just forsee that they will end up back in Mattoon some how some way.... and who knows when... lol
Valerie hit a little bit of everything in this care package. I plan to start sharing things with my students soon. It was a great care package, and so much fun to open. I had not idea what all was going to be in it!!
My first birthday gift. I really thought about waiting to open in on my birthday next weekend, but....I couldnt. I opened it....
Here is a picture from the bush plane out of the village. It was a clear sunny day when we flew out, so I was able to get a few pictures of the mountains and ground below.
Here is Fairbanks from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks Campus. Kerri and I went to the campus for a little while on Friday.
We also visited the museum on the campus, which was very nice. I absolutly loved it. I could have been there for hours.... I just thought this was awesome that is said Alaska or Bust, and that is what I decided to name my blog. Very cute!! I think this was about the gold rush.
Here is the entrance of the museum and me with a HUGE Brown bear behind me... very very very big brown bear.
