Halloween

We made so many cupcakes last night.  We were up til almost 11 baking and decorating them.  But they turned out super cute.  Thanks mom for sending the decorations!!  But we got to watch the last 2 episodes of season 5 of covert affairs!!!  Now we have to wait for them to make the next season.  Bummer :(

Nali was so tired of watching Whitney and I make cupcakes last night. She decided to take a nap with a pillow an blanket.  lol.  She is not spoiled at all!!

 

 Here are some pics of our Halloween costumes.  Nali was still very upset and embarrassed to wear her costume.  I went as Jane Goodall and I taught my 7th and 8th graders about her today.  They were fascinated by the chimps.  We had a great turnout of costumes today at school.  It was really exciting!! I have not seen the kids get this into Halloween since I've been here.  Even the high-school students had some great costumes :)

This year I got a pumpkin this year.  YAY!! Every year the school purchases some, and this year I got one!! The eight graders wanted to name it.  They decided on Boots from Dora the Explorer.  A couple of students came to help me Wednesday, but last night I was stuck finishing it myself. It turned out pretty good, but it took a long time.

Updates

Holy cow!!! Life has been so busy (that's why I haven't posted in a while).  After our home cross country meet I went to Bethel, then Chevak, and finally Anchorage.  Even the kids were exhausted. They fell asleep waiting for the plane. lo.  This last weekend was my first chance to relax.  It was absolutely glorious!!! But overall the season was great!! The kids had a blast, and I had more students than I ever had participate.

Also, we finally got the new desks.  I'm not sure if the students are thrilled because they can't lay on them, and they are so light that when they lean back chairs the desks move.  I love them!!! Two of my pet peeves are leaning back and laying on the desks.  Thanks so much to everyone for your help in getting the new desks :)






Here is a sneak peak at Nali's costume.  You can tell she is super excited about her costume.  It goes with mine.  Check back for an update near Halloween.
