It's Our Birthday!

We celebrated Ryan's birthday last Sunday. I took the kids to jump time and we had cake and presents that night. He got a pogo stick and he's getting pretty good at it. He is using it quite a bit which I love. He is so cute and funny I don't want him to grow up! My birthday was Monday and that night we went to Gabe and Christy's for birthday dinner. Christy made the biggest bowl of chicken alfredo I've ever seen! She's insane. The leftovers fed us all week! Because of my birthday and Scott having meetings in Utah I got the kids extra! I dropped them off Friday morning and they come back tonight. What a treat! 

Ryan got a fever and threw up Tuesday night so I put in sub plans and called in sick for Wednesday. It was a much needed break honestly and was the best case scenario because Ryan woke up feeling much better on Wednesday morning. All of the kids didn't want to go to school since Ryan and I were staying home and I went with it. It was a much needed rest day for all of us. I cannot wait until Thanksgiving break. 

Work has been rough lately because there have been 2 suicide deaths in the last month. 2, 8th grade girls from the cross country team. I didn't know either of these girls but I teach some of their close friends. We are experiencing trauma as a group and the teachers and students don't really know how to handle it. On top of that a 19 year old with a gun was arrested on Thursday at North last week. He was high as a kite and supposedly got on a school bus thinking it was a city bus. He supposedly didn't have any intentions of being at the school or harming anyone at the school but that was also very upsetting to everyone. I threw out my lesson plans last week and we cooked and watched a movie. We are all holding on until Thanksgiving break.

My friend Brooke came to Boise from Twin for a combined birthday celebration. Our birthdays are 3 days apart. We went to a movie and out to dinner and then came to my house for cake and to hang out. She invited her friend Michael to come and we had a great time. She spent the night and left early to go on a long hike somewhere today. I am  resting and getting ready for the work week. One more week! Thanksgiving break is my favorite. Christmas stuff is going up next weekend. Haters can hate!  

Pumpkin Cake!

Presents! Ryan has gotten pretty good at jumping on his pogo stick!

Kid invasion!  

Yes!

Ryan's Veteran's Day Program. Scott was able to go attend.

AVID7 Rake up Boise. My AVID students raked a few yards on Friday. It was like herding cats. I was a drill sergeant trying to get these kids to work! Ha. 

I heart Roy Kent! I'm obsessed with the show Ted Lasso. My friend Jenny made me this sweatshirt. She has a matching one. Cutest!

It's our birthday!

Woot!
