-A little shout out-

My mom doesn't read my blog, but just in case...Mom- hope you had a wonderful birthday! You are seriously the best mom ever! You are always SO willing to help me in any way possible. We are so lucky to have you! I'm not sure if I would have made it this far without you by my side at all times! I love you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Highlight of my day...

So, I'm not going to lie. I've had a pretty terrible, horrible, no good, very bad do today. For starters, I forgot my lunch at home, THEN it was flu shot day at Root Elementary and Hillary forgot her insurance card, OH and while we're on the topic of FLU SHOTS- 22 five year olds receiving shots is NOT my idea of a great day! Let me tell you!! Ha.. my day started out pretty terrible, BUT my amazing boyfriend brought me something yummy to eat for lunch, my dad emailed me my insurance information, and I had a pretty darn good day with my little kiddos. BUT... I get home and I begin to read my blogs as I unwind and enjoy 25 or 30 minutes of complete silence. I get to Hailey's (my sister's) blog and about wet my pants. HA... hailey and matt had their first thanksgiving this year. HA... I really can't stop laughing. She didn't know that a pumpkin pie had to bake? Oh mee oh my! You gotta love Hailey! I haven't really heard the whole story, but from what I read made my day! Thanks Hail!

While I'm blogging I might as well give you a little update on my life! Thanksgiving was great! I have so much to be thankful for this year! I spent it with Steven's family because he's spending Christmas with me this year YIPPIE! Out of five Christmases together, this will be our very first! I'm really excited! Kindergarten is going great! I'm really getting the hang of the little kiddos! For the next three weeks we'll be learning all about Holidays around the world- How fun!? School has slowed down a bit, but I'm still working pretty hard to wrap up my last assignments before next week! Blakely is growing like a little weed. She's no longer my little baby, she's a big girl now! She's such a doll. I'm cherishing every moment I spend with her because I know she won't be at this sweet/hilarious stage for long! Well I hope all is well with you! I hope to be blogger more over the holidays due to lighter work load- although I have homework assignments over Christmas! Happy Wednesday!
