Friday Letters

Linking up with... The Sweet Season!

Dear Students, please come off the sugar high from your valentine's day candy. You're acting crazy. And quit asking questions about my personal life. I love you, but some things aren't meant to be talked about with 8th graders. :) Dear Ian, thank you for being an amazing friend to me! The fact that you stuck your hand in a disgusting drain for me shows me that you're the real deal! Dear Cowboys Red River, Do not disappoint tonight. I look forward to learning how to two step! Dear 3 day weekend, please stay around as long as you like. There is no need to rush to Tuesday. Dear spring break, the faster you get here, the better. My toes reallllly need to feel some sand. ASAP.

Happy Valentine's Day!

From my favorite little valentine! :)

Mushtastic Bowtastic!

Annelise was the vice principal at my first school. She was on the interview committee that interviewed me for my first job, so I consider her one of the people who made my dream of becoming a teacher come true! We worked together my first year. Then I moved schools (twice). This year, she moved over to the school I'm at now and is my VP again!

She is expecting TWINS next month! So two of my coworkers and I got together and planned a Mushtastic Bowtastic Bash for the twins!

This is the invitation that I made:

I also made all of these fun food labels for the different foods on the table!

We made these adorable center pieces:

Bowties and mustaches for photo ops :)

With mustache balloons tied to the jar :)

This adorable diaper wreath:

Had a diaper signing station with funny notes that she can read when she's changing diapers late at night:

It was so fun! I love throwing showers, so this was a lot of fun for me! I can't wait to plan the next one!

Roaring 20's

Jamie, Lindsey, and I are throwing a Roaring 20's birthday party for my best friend at work- RACHEL! It's on March 2nd and we are going all out. Here is the invitation that I made:

Address and Phone number removed :)

We will be serving food that was popular in the 20s, drinks from prohibition, and ordering flapper dresses! I'm really excited about this party. It should be so much fun! Here is the dress I just ordered....

I hate ordering clothes online because you never know if they will fit right.... but where else am I going to find a flapper dress in February??? So here's to hoping it works out for me.

So excited about this party!!!!

                                                

Cuddling with Carter!

Saturday morning, we loaded up into Neil's truck and headed to Austin for the weekend. I was so excited because I hadn't seen Carter since Christmas! Oh, it was so great to cuddle him and love on him all weekend! He is seriously the best baby in the world!!! Now, prepare yourself for an over abundance of adorable pictures of the two of us!!

Cuddling with Carter as soon as I got to Austin!!
