soccer fans are crazy!

I went to my first soccer game on Saturday night! It was so much fun, I was surprised at how much i got into the game and how crazy RSL soccer fans are. I can't wait to go again. Sadly, RSL is out of the playoffs now so i will have to wait for next season.

We had great seats, fifth row right behind the goal. most of the second half was played right by us!

Me and Em. We are really excited, can you tell?

Dallas, Emily and I getting excited for the game.

Halloween


Me and my two aides; tweedle dee, retro roller skater, and a bumble bee.

I am usually not big into Halloween, or even dressing up for that matter. This year was different though. My students were so excited for our Halloween party. It was contagious. I found myself actually excited for the Halloween festivities this year. Every day the kids would want to know how many more days until our party. We even had some interesting conversations about costumes. One of the kids even asked Adri why she was so fat in her tweedle dee costume.This was by far my favorite though:

Me: "What are you going to be?"

Child: "Karate Kid!" as he kicks and karate chops in the air.

Me: "That is so cool. You'll make a good karate kid. What should I be?"

Child: "hmmm, well you're a girl so you should be Cinderella."

Me: "That's a good Idea."

Child: In deep thought. "but you'll have to get a really, really BIG dress."

Needless to say I wasn't Cinderella. I did not want to buy a "really, really big dress". Instead I settled on a bumble bee costume. I love my students though, they made this holiday so much fun, even if they were so hyper they wore me out every day the entire week before our halloween party.

I am starting to get excited for the upcoming holiday season. I went to the store today and they were putting up Christmas trees. Even that is a little too early for me, especially since I walked outside to 60 degrees and sunshine. However, I can justify listening to Christmas music as soon as it snows, whether Thanksgiving is over or not ....Don't Judge!
