Fall and Halloween Character Hats....Flash Freebie For Followers!

Happy Fall!

I  cannot believe that
there are only 5 more school
 days until Halloween!
DUDE!  They're predicting snow
here this weekend!
What the what?!
So much to do...
and so little time.

 

Hats have become my "Go-To"

when I'm feeling a little stressed.

Hmmmm....

Have I been feeling stressed lately?
Duh, you're a teacher.
Stressed is just a state of being.

I don't know...

maybe check out our
last several hat posts.

In case you don't know...
"stressed" is simply
"desserts" spelled
backwards.
Yes. Yes it is.
I've been eating
Skinny Cow Ice Cream
Sandwiches lately.
Genius marketing strategy.
Well played "Skinny Cow".
Well played.
They're only
6 Weight Watcher points
(yup....I'm back on
the Weight Watcher Wagon.)
Skinny Cow Ice Cream sandwiches
happened to be Buy One Get One Free
about 3 weeks ago.
I was a mad woman
filling my shopping cart
with ice cream sandwiches.
My cart was filled
to the top with JUST
Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches.
I was actually giggling
out loud like a crazy woman
as I walked down
the frozen food aisle
pushing my
cart full o'ice-cream.
"Children, step away from the cray cray."
said every parent walking by.
The problem came
when I got home
and realized I may
not have enough room
in my freezer
for all of my "free"
ice cream.
huh.
That COULD
have been a problem....
but lucky for me...
I have TWO freezers!
Bwa-hahahaha!
Take that Skinny Cow!

I am STILL eating
those ice cream sandwiches
and probably have enough
to last me the next few weeks.
AND.....believe or not....
I've actually
lost a total of 25 pounds
since August,
(and
--crossing my fingers--
it's still coming off).
Rock on with your bad self!
Like for reals!
ANY weight loss is an accomplishment!
Kudos to you my friend.

Now I know that
eating ice cream sandwiches
on a daily basis is not
REALLY a good plan,
so how about instead of loading
down on desserts
when I'm feeling
stressed out...I share
something sweet with
all of you instead?
As always, thinking of others.

It's time to go

on a listening walk!

Thank goodness,

because some silence

sounds really good

this time of year!

I just purchased

my own classroom book,

The Listening Walk

by Paul Showers

for my First Graders.

(...and just in case

you're wondering....

yes....I bought it

with my own money....

of course...

don't we all?)

Click above to purchase your own!

Here is a version of

it on youtube:

 ....and HERE

is a little recording sheet

for your little, listening scientists.

May your day

be filled with 15 minutes

of silence.

hehehe

....OK....

maybe 5.

Five minutes of silence

would be nice....

Shhhhhhh!!!!

We're walking!

Not talking!

Now....how long do I

need to wait before

we can do this again? 

Go Away Big Green Monster Hats

 Here's a little hat

for when you just want to say....

Go Away!

 

CLICK HERE to download the hats.

Just fill in your own blank:

Go Away ______________!

And Don't Come Back....

Until I say so!

Oh....

There are soooo

many things that could

possibly go in that

little, bitty blank.

Thank you Ed Emberley

for creating this super, simple

DYNAMO of a book!

This was my oldest son's

favorite book when he was little.

He's not little anymore.

He's big.

Did I mention

that my Hollywood

decided to join

the U.S. Army?

You want your kids

to grow up and be independent...

(and then a little piece of you doesn't want that at all)

You're proud of them

when they can stand on

their own two feet.

But you miss that

little boy who used

to want you to read

to him every night,

and sing him his own

good-night song

that you made up

just for him.

No one ever quite

tells you how mixed

up your feelings can

be when you're a mom.

Go Away Nostalgia!

Go Away!

Ok...maybe not.

You can hang out for a bit.

Just for a little while.
