Love is an understatement. Fall is by far the best time of the year. I am really enjoying the cooler weather. I know my kids are, too. This means I am not freezing them out all day, just in the afternoon :) Cool mornings make the day so much better. I do not enjoy the sun going down earlier, but I do like feeling like I can sleep at 8:00. Football in fall is better, too. I finally ventured to Tuscaloosa for a football game. I know you are tired of hearing me say it, but there's just something about that place! I love it. Friday night, we ventured out to Bear Trap. The cool night was perfect for people watching. Mary, Kate, and I had a much needed night of catch up. Saturday, I passed thousands of Florida fans, and for some reason they weren't as wild and crazy. I think they knew we would win. I thought the game would be a little closer. Chris, Heath (our friend from MSU) and I went to Gallettes to watch the game. The cool weather brings out the crazies, that's for sure. I couldn't tell you anything that happened in the 2nd quarter. A Cheater's episode happened right before my eyes! And you know how nosey I am! :) Sunday, we went to FIG for lunch and lounged around. A perfect weekend.
Friday my kids take their end of the 9 weeks math test. I am getting anxious about the test. I know I've taught the best I can, and I know they have learned a lot. I just hope they show it on the test! We are reviewing and they seem to remember everything. Just pray that Friday they don't freak out.
This week is homecoming at the high school. Being the wonderful Beta club sponsors that we are, we have gotten the Eagle spirit at the elementary school. HA! Yesterday was Camo Day. No one really dressed up. But today was tacky day. And MAN, did they ever dress up. I wish I could share some pictures to share with you how crazy it was! They were so funny about it. Tomorrow is 80's day. They don't really know what to do, so it should be interesting... Friday night is the game, and we are taking some kids to the game. Saturday morning, the Beta Club is volunteering at the Race for the Cure. At 7:15. I am not happy about that...
Since last time we've talked, I have gotten 2 new students and 1 has left. I must say, I was sad to see him go. I always wonder why it can't be one that doesn't care, isn't polite or respectful. Why is it the good ones?! The new ones are good, though. Both girls. That puts me at 14 girls and 7 boys. And I wonder why it's NEVER quiet in my room... I don't know how many times a day I have to say, "Please be quiet." And yes, it's always that nice :)
