Five for Friday! Halloween edition

This week was ca-razy. The kids were actually really great, but we had so many things planned that I am dead tired. 

One
Because this was Red Ribbon Week, just getting dressed appropriately in the mornings was a real challenge. This was Give Drugs the Slip, so I pulled out my Clifford slippers and flopped around in them all day.

Two

On Team Up Against Drugs Day, I busted out my favorite team shirt: Go Yanks!

Three

We had an early release day this week. My math/science counterpart had already planned a training on learning targets and he delivered it beautifully. But, of course, we had to pause for some tasty treats courtesy of our principal and office staff.

Four

On Thursday, I made some tasty treats of my own. To thank the teachers and staff who had worked hard to make Family Literacy Night successful, I made them some deeelicious cupcakes. I don't know if you've tried the new Cinnamon Bun frosting, but holy cow. It is amazing.

Five

On Friday, we had a fairy tale ball for the students in K-2. It was SO MUCH FUN. I dressed up as Gretel and we were introduced red carpet-style. We danced the afternoon away and left feeling exhausted and disgusting in our costumes.

Trying not to eat candy.

I am so excited.  It's Halloween! I'm celebrating this fun holiday in several ways.

1. I spent my last two evenings making these:

They are equal parts sugar, sugar, and frosting. Made of sugar.

Today I ran around and, as one teacher put it, shared the calories. Muahahahahaha! 2. I gorged myself on anything orange that was given to me today. This included an orange cupcake, several KitKats, and a handful of Reese's.  Orange = holiday = calorie free. 3. I'm wearing my happy Halloween slipper sock things.

I saw them at Target last week and couldn't help myself. 

4. I have a heaping bowl of candy for children. I try to make a point of buying candy that I don't like so I hopefully won't eat it. But the only kind of candy I don't like involves coconut EW! And I don't think kids like that either, so I can't bring myself to buy it. This year, I bought pretzels shaped like pumpkins (sorry, kids), gummy lifesavers (it turns out I really like the red ones), Twix (forgive me for my weakness), and dum dums (eh).  5. Putting clothing on my dogs. This just cracks me up. Normally, I'm against clothing on animals. But my friend gave me these little outfits, so guess who's wearing clothes?

It is impossible to take a clear picture of my animals. They never don't move.

Stevie, trying really hard not to be afraid of the cat.

(I'm a big brave dog. I'm a big brave dog.)

5. I'm trying to ignore the scary stuff that my hunny is watching on Ghost Adventures. I like Ghost Adventures (they crack me up) but lately they've been kind of creepy, so I have to watch it with squinty-eyes. You know, like how you have to watch the Paranormal Activity 4 trailer. Except Ghost Adventures is only scary if you're a big wuss like me. 6. I'm having a spooky sale! Don't be scared by my low prices! hahahahahaha I know that's silly.

Save a few bucks so you can spend more on candy.

Ding Dong! Trick-or-Treat! Freebie

Oh, people, I am so desperate for cold weather. This horrible in-between season keeps taunting me. It's nice and cool in the morning and I put on a short-sleeved sweater and pants. And then by about 11:30 I am incredibly hot and disgusting. I want to peel the layers off and walk around with no pants, but I can't because I'm a member of society.

So I keep making these products that are fall themed so I can live vicariously through the adorable KPM Doodles clipart.

The newest product is my Trick-Or-Treat! Halloween Math Centers. It includes a bonus freebie, which you can also get below.

 

Check them out at TPT or Teacher's Notebook.
