such a busy month!

so i feel as though i have not written an entry in here in so long! i have just been so busy! this is the first saturday i have been able to spend at my apartment in over a month. october was such a busy month. so much fun but so incredibly busy! i slept in until 11:00 this morning (anyone who knows me knows how much i love to sleep!) and then read my book for about an hour and am now trying to catch up on blogs and emails and ecards. its so nice to finally have a saturday to relax and catch up on things. my weeks are always so busy that i try to keep my saturdays and sundays pretty free so i have some "me time!"

let's see...what all has gone on lately? well yesterday was halloween of course...and i LOVE halloween! this picture is of me and my cute preschool class on halloween morning before going out for "trunk or treat" in the parking lot. they were super hyper yesterday to say the least...but we had such a fun time! i haven't gone out trick or treating with kids in so many years but last night my friend ashley and i took two little boys out for the evening. they've never gone trick or treating before and we had so much fun taking them! they had a ball. it makes me miss being a kid and getting so excited about halloween night and going out trick or treating with my parents. celebrating holidays is one of my absolute favorite things to do and most of my favorite memories from growing up are during holiday seasons. so this halloween was a lot of fun :)

last weekend was my friend jessica's wedding and it was such a beautiful reception! she only had family at the wedding itself and then everyone else was invited to the reception. a place called world kitchen in buford, ga catered it and the food was so yummy! i've also learned that i quite love blonde peach sangria...its amazing! the reception was so nice and so much fun and jessica and jesse looked so happy. i absolutely love going to weddings. i have definitely learned what i like and don't like so whenever it is that i get married, i have very definite opinions on what the wedding will be like! ha. here are kerri (my best friend since high school) and myself at the wedding. we had such a fun time there together!

i guess i am kind of moving backwards through the month but that's okay! dory (my closest friend at work) and i had such a fun month doing "fallish" activities with our kids! i teach preschool and she teaches pre-k and our classrooms are across the hall from each other. we have so much fun combining our kids together for different activities and doing fun things with them. she and i both LOVE holidays and celebrating them and decorating for them so we always have a lot of fun when fall rolls around and the holiday season really starts to kick off! last week, she and i carved pumpkins for our first time and it was so much fun! i've always carved pumpkins with my family and made my dad do the actual carving...ha! this time, she and i printed patterns off the computer and attempted to carve ourselves! the finished product actually turned out quite well! she followed a scooby-doo pattern and i followed a cute ghost pattern and we had so much fun! here is dory with a bunch of our kiddos at school :)

so that is pretty much what has been going on in my life lately! i spent an evening in helen with my parents a few weeks ago....we went to pick out pumpkins and have ice cream together and that was a lot of fun. my friend danielle's baby shower was a few weekends ago and that was a fun time as well...i always love going to baby showers especially when they are for little girls...i LOVE buying baby clothes/gifts for little girls. i cannot wait to have a daughter of my own someday!! so all in all....things are going well! just very busy but that's nothing new! i hope everyone is doing well and that your octobers were as fun as mine were! now its onto thanksgiving and christmas...i just love holidays!
