The Lloyd Family: November 2011

Well, it's been a crazy couple of weeks! I am having a great experience student teaching this time around despite all the difficulties that the university strike has created, but my cooperating teacher is a very dedicated and very organized woman, so she has been keeping me running! Between my schedule and the kids there isn't much time in the day to sit down let alone anything else, and weekends are often just as bad as we try to get caught up on the everyday chores that we missed all week! I find myself really looking forward to Friday night so I can relax a bit and enjoy a glass of wine...a trait I am finding repeated in pretty much every teacher I have met! Good to know I fit in! Ah well, busy is good as it makes the time go faster.
Last weekend I was busily sewing to try to get the kids Hallowe'en costumes done in time for the big day! I was seriously questioning why I had chosen to make costumes this year most of the day on Sunday, but by 10pm on Sunday night the costumes were finished and the pumpkins were carved and I had two very excited kids trying to fall asleep! I have added a few pictures of the noteworthy events of the weekend...you'll notice Claire REALLY did not enjoy cleaning out the pumpkins! Some of the pictures were a bit blurry but just needed to be added because the look on her face was priceless! Enjoy!
