A BEEautiful Halloween!

Trick or Treat!

Smell my feet!

Give me something good to eat!

If you don't, I don't care...

I'll show you my underwear!

Hee hee! Happy Halloweenie!!

From our little bee!

Spirit Week. Cow Kissing. A Wedding. Lowes. A Birthday Party.

Ready. Set. Go.

Spirit Week equals THEME DAYS (including Camo with one of my favorite girls!) and the Builders Club "Kiss A Cow" fundraiser.

Um. Yeah.

This would be my jar.

Full o' TONS OF MONEY!

The kids got to vote for which teacher they would MOST LIKE to see kiss a cow at Friday's pep rally!

They picked me and Shep!

Time to pucker up.

Only in front of 900 people. No sweat.

Vicki went first.

I got the sloppy (and stinky) seconds!

Poor little calf! Only 4 days old and has two grown women already making out with her!

2010 Builders Club Officers with the COW KISSERS!

...and again!

Thank you SO MUCH, Spicher family!

Love you guys!!

Saturday evening, Zig and I shared a wonderful night out at the Shepherd family wedding!

What a beautiful fall day it was - and an amazing wedding ceremony and reception!

I had such a good time visiting with other teachers and watching Vicki just GLOW in happiness!

We felt so blessed to be among the guests celebrating for Danielle and Dustin!
Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Rheel! ...and thanks for sharing your day with us!

AHHHHH!!!!

The only things that makes her smile THIS BIG!!??? LOWES.

Long. Story.

Strike a pose.

Sunday morning in bed with Mommy!

I can't believe my 'gorgeous man' is 4 today!

We spent the day in Milton yesterday to celebrate his pirate-themed day with him and the family!

Pirate decorations. Super Hero gifts.

Doesn't get much better than that!!

Can't stop looking at Lo's smile in this picture!

Happy Birthday dear GORGEOUS!!!

"Cheese. I'm 4"

These two monsters sharing a chocolate pirate cupcake!

Must have been yummy.

Lolita dressed as a pirate!

Meg put together a really cool treasure chest for the kids!

They dug and DUG through about a million packing peanuts to find what had been left by the ship-wrecked pirates!

Aunt Libby had to help...

Those aren't snow flakes or dust particles showing up in the pictures...

Those would be static charged packing peanuts.

And they were everywhere.

Thank you very much.

Happy week everyone!

PINK and PROUD.

Yesterday was one of those days when I was so proud to be part of a group of students and teachers who show pride for their school and for other huge issues of the world!

The school was a 'sea of pink' all day as we celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness month!

6th, 7th, and 8th graders were dripping in pink and super excited for the "Pink-a-delic" dance Friday night!!

Can you find Mrs. Wray cuddled among these lovely peeps!!??

"Pink Posse 2010"

My amazing Builders Club sold PINK refreshments! I wish I would have taken a picture of the 'spread,' but we had everything from pink cupcakes to pink rice krispie treats! Pink soda and pink napkins! Pink tables cloths and pink sprinkles! Yum!

My awesome boys ran the show!!

President Peach, VP JM (my waltzing partner), Secretary Jordan and Treasurer Sage!

I was pleasantly suprised to find this picture on my camera!

I'd be lying if I said I didn't shed a few tears during my suprise visit with my sweet Spike...

So proud to be part of my school...

So proud to know and work with these amazing kids...

So proud of their hard work and success!

So proud to love them all!
