reusing at its finest…..

So when one of my firsties came up to me this morning to show me his new wallet, I really didn’t pay very close attention at first.  I was busy getting our day started and said, “Oh how nice” without really noticing.  It wasn’t until he showed my co-worker his new “wallet” and I was able to see her face that I realized just how SPECIAL his new wallet truly was…….

and it truly had money in it this morning.  Of course until he went to lunch where he whipped that bad boy out to pay for his lunch!!!!!  At that point, every teacher within 100 feet had already been privileged enough to see this beauty!!  He never caught on.  Not even after every teacher that saw it had the same reaction.  Shock turned to laughter.  Every.single.time!  It sure did bring joy to many people today!!  Thanks little firstie friend for such a good laugh today!!! 

It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas!!

Click on the picture above to take you to my TPT store!  It’s only $3.00 and it has many literacy activities!!  I can’t wait to use them with my firsties!! 

Tonight the hubby and I went to see the Rockettes at Verizon theater!  It was so fun.  This was our second time to see it and it didn’t disappoint. 

This is my favorite scene!  I just love it so much. 

Well worth the money for sure!!!

This morning I went to the craft fair in Frisco benefitting North Texas Missions.  This is the affiliation of my sister and BIL.  Last week I finished this scrapbook page and I think it is my all time favorite.  I am just so proud of them. 

 

Well, one more day until our Thanksgiving break is over.  Now we can look forward to Christmas break!  That is when my sister is coming in for a visit!!!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

This is what I am working on as I sit in a hotel room on a Friday morning.  The hubby took the car and so I have no where to go.  But it’s ok because I love doing this!!  I think I am addicted.  I love making fun activities for my students!

November and December are my 2 favorite months of the year!!  I start November off with a bang!  My birthday is today!!  AND, it is also my cockapoo’s birthday.  She is 5 today!

This is her on her birthday last year about to devour her birthday bone! 

Yesterday my sweet co-workers decorated my door for me.

They got me lots of goodies!  Here is my sad balloon!!  It wouldn’t fly.  LOL

They also made me a cake, bought my lunch for me (Jason’s Deli), and got me SPRINKLES cupcakes!!!
