Update

 5 more school days until Thanksgiving break. We can't wait! I don't have much to blog about. I'm just tired per usual and ready for a school break per usual. John and I are working on making space for him over here. There is zero space, but it makes the most sense for him to move in here. My kids cannot handle more change right now, and they have ZERO interest in moving, so we will make it work the best we can. Of course, my getting engaged is a change, but I'm trying to make the transition as thoughtful as possible. Parenting is hard, and I just try my best to take care of my kids and take care of myself as well. Oof. Life.

Saturday was busy! John and I ran some errands, and then Gabby and I went to Dejah's bridal shower and then Gabby and I went shopping for an FCCLA service project. One of my student's parent's company is in charge of buying $4,000 worth of presents for children. We had quite a bit of help and it went pretty fast. It was fun spending someone else's money and buying gifts. It made me want to put up Christmas so I did! After that, I had to make dinner and pumpkin pie in ramekins (experiment for class). 

I picked out my engagement ring. It's kind of similar to my old ring. I like what I like! I don't like traditional rings on my finger. I like flat and practical. I had to get it resized, so I will pick it up tomorrow. It's going to be weird to wear a ring again. Alright, that's all! 

The kids were all playing a video game together, and it was SO LOUD! It was pretty cute to see them play together, though.

Cutest!

New family pics on the wall. Yay! I love them!

Toys for Tots shopping

Christy's amazing spread for Dejah's bridal shower.

My friend Chelsey bought me this sign for my birthday. Cute!

We are kind of hiding all of the filled Toys for Tots boxes.

There were actually 2 more full carts not pictured.

Christmas is up! I couldn't wait. I don't know why the middle section looks so dark, it doesn't look that bad in person.LOL.
