Happy Turkey Day to everyone!!!

G-mail added themes to gmail pages...i now have ninjas waiting for me everytime i check my e-mail....i think its totally fun!

Today...i feel like crap. I think its just a cold but it still sucks! blah!

Kids make me laugh sometimes with what they say...

today i overheard this in one of my 2nd grade classes.

"Adult vampires are the only ones that can turn into bats"

I wish i could remember some of the other things right now...but i can't :) Stay tuned for pictures of the giant paper turkey!

last night was pumpkin carving night!! :) it was lots of fun and several awesome pumpkins came from the evening....i even stayed up past my bed time! :)

cody and i bought some pumpkin stands this year for halloween....my was a skeleton and his was a vampire...his was much, much harder than mine!

Cindys pumpkins are her own design...and very cute!

And now for the political pumpkins....my vote with the Obama symbol..

And the pumpkin that takes the cake....and whitney worked very hard on!! OBAMA!

Some of the pictures are kind of blurry because i was taking them without a flash so that the light would shine through! And the last picture is obama and vote together.

Last Saturday we did the "memory walk"...our team raised about $1,300 (whitney worked her ass off) thanks to generous supporters! Whitneys mother, a great women, was diagnosised with Alzheimer's not to long ago, we walked in honor of her and in memory of cody's great uncle who died recently and had Alzheimer's pretty bad. We are hoping they find a cure soon so that we don't have to force whitney into the shower when we are older :) Anyway...some of our pictures...

Go Team!

I am currently sitting outside in my drive way with a bunch of crap sitting all around me. Yeap...you guessed it....i'm having a garage sale. This things are boring....especially early in the morning on a Friday when no one is even up let alone coming to a garage sale. Other things working against us.....its not very warm right now....actually i'm pretty damn cold. We don't have any very large items to sell....as a matter of fact....we have the most books of any garage sale EVER!! And we have lots of vases and picture frames! Today i'm here by my lonesome...tomorrow Cody will be here to share the love! So needless to say.....fall break is going to be TONS of fun! :) But it is all for a new couch...i have to keep telling myself that!

I am taking pole dance lessons tonight though...hehe! bachelorette fun-ness!

I pretty much don't have anything else to say :)

So todays art project is listening to music...we are listening to the string quartet arrangement of the cures lovecats....and talk about what we think when we are listening to it and then paint what we think. So i had a student come up to me and say....

"Mrs. Bounds, This music reminds me of Thanksgiving and indians because indians love thanksgiving!" Maybe its just me but i found very cute and humorous!

Something that is driving me nuts here though is the students that aren't able to say the name BOUNDS....so several students call me Mrs. Bowlands....i'm not sure why that bothers me so much but it really does!

So school has been EXTREMELY busy.....Tuesday we had talent show auditions after school....it really was a nightmare. We had about 35 acts actually show up....45 signed up....and we cut it to 13. All day yesterday i had students crying.....some of my biggest pains in the butt were crying....but after October 10th it will be over.....but it will be really cute...there are some very cute acts going to participate!

Okay...i'm going to go set up for my next class! Happy Thursday!
