Fun Filled, Work Filled Week!

This week was a crazy busy one. We had conferences at school, which meant late nights. Today has been for cleaning, relaxing and watching poor Iowa State lose another football game. And now, updating the blog.

Last night after school a bunch of teachers went to see Mockingjay for one of the 1st grade teachers birthday. We maybe had a little too much fun in the "line" playing the game Heads Up on someone's phone. We had lots of laughs and caused a scene--except no one else was in line, so no one else saw us! It was a great night!

Someone's been doing donuts in the teacher's parking lot....

Tammy, our building secretary, had her birthday this week! Somehow, we always end up in matching outfits :)

Me and Pacino. He just loves having his picture taken...

Last Sunday I went and watched the CC Robotics team. It was fun to see everyone again and watch some robots!

Pacino didn't quite know what to think of the snow...

Katie & I got to meet Chris August at the concert last Saturday night!

We saw Chris August, Big Daddy Weave, Group 1 Crew, and Dara MacLean. It was an awesome concert to add to my concert list this year!

Book fair was SOOOOO busy this week. We had great sales and I can't wait to see how much money we raised to buy new books!

Mostly Pacino & Pancakes

Fall/winter sunsets are my favorite!

Pacino was real tired the other night! We are currently in the same position right now, which is making typing a little complicated!

So last weekend, I wondered if I could eat breakfast for every meal. On Monday I tried out these cinnamon swirl pancakes. Holy cow. They were so good...but I'd hardly call them pancakes. They were more like eating butter and sugar with a side of pancakes. The swirl is made of butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Then there's a cream cheese glaze on top, which is more butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. I think they were even better the next day for lunch, but I had to have a BIG glass of milk. Yum!

This is me and one of my buddies, Landon, at school. He is wearing my Cyclones earmuffs, and I've got his goofy hat on. It's been COLD at recess this week!

Two Weeks

It seems like 8,000 things have happened in the last two weeks (!) that its been since I've posted. That's why this is such a long post.

Frost! This frost last Saturday had me running late.

Running late for these! Mom, Marcy, Andi and I did some antique shopping in Cedar Falls. We also stopped to see the restaurant with the dolls hanging and to eat at Mulligan's. 

Two weeks ago Katie and I went to see Tenth Avenue North & Phil Wickham in concert. I have seen Tenth Ave before, and they are good, but Phil Wickham really surprised me with how talented he is. He reminded me a lot of Ed Sheeran with how great he was with just his guitar and voice and nothing else. I was so impressed! 

I was a little grouchy one day, so I decided that eating, drinking, snacking and hitting golf balls was the solution. Sure enough, it was!

I went to the doctor for my knee. I snuck this picture of the screen when no one was in my room. Verdict=tendinitis, a dorky brace, and potentially physical therapy.

At school, we decided to be I Spy books. This is Amy, myself, and Elaine in our I Spy shirts! It was a fun idea!

More things from the antiquing trip. I bought my mom her Christmas present and sent it on home with her, so that's one less gift to buy! This pineapple is something that my grandma used to have and my mom and aunt had to dust it every Saturday. We found the same one at one of the antique shops!

This is my Central City girls at Aaron's Halloween party. We had fun, as always!

On Tuesday night, I went to Coffeesmith's after school with a friend. Then, I went to Orange Leaf and had frozen yogurt for dinner. That wasn't the most healthy night! 

Thursday night, I turned on the fireplace, drank tea, ate Chex mix and red the new Wimpy Kid book. I was also in bed by 9:45. Staying up until midnight the night before wasn't a very good idea!

One of my kindergarten friends and I had matching cowboy boots yesterday!

Me and Pacino are just too cute. 

In other good news, it's basketball season! Go Cyclones!
