I swear there is always something that goes bad or quits working or is in need of repair/replacement around here. The list if never ending. This week it's our laptop that decided to quit on us. Smack dab in the middle of my grad work and Robert's PE review course. I always do my work on the laptop while he works on the desktop. Now, my husband is this super geeky computer know-it-all kind of guy so he's already evaluated the situation and announced the laptop's resignation. We are not replacing it...not now anyway. (I need new tires pronto!) So this means limited computer time and when I do get it, I will have school crap to do. blah.
I want to keep blogging though! (at least once a week) That is my goal:)

Case of the Mondays
I really do not like Monday's at all. I love Sunday evenings but as soon as Monday morning comes, it's so depressing. Glad Monday is over and it's one day closer to the lovely weekend! This post is going to be random because for some reason I am feeling motivated to blog. It's been a long time. It's probably because I am not wasting away on facebook all evening long. Thank God! okay bullet style random thoughts...
~Tomorrow is my night to work on master's work. I have weekly posts on discussion boards that I have to make and I always deem Tuesday as my night for that.
~I've been enjoying Dancing with the Stars this season. I like watching Kristen Cavallari dance. Don't care for her as a person but she can dance!
~I made a REALLY good dish tonight and I will share the recipe. It's called Spicey chicken lasagna roll-ups. So delicious!
~ I am in the midst of planning a Spring Break trip for us this year and I am pretty excited about it:) It's been a couple of years since we did Spring Break...or heck- a vacation of any sort! It's about time my husband give up and let me take the reigns on this one!!:)
~ Back to the weekend...I am excited for an away UM football game this Saturday. This means I will have my husband home for the first Saturday in 3 weeks! (or is it 4?) What ever will we do?!
~ I'm really, really enjoying my students this year. Maybe it's the fact that it's my 4th year at the same school and 6th year teaching (holy smokes! where did the time go?) but I feel like I've just got it together and really have a grasp on what I'm doing. Of course, I always have lots to learn but I just feel competent in what I do. It's a good feeling.
~I really wish I would get to bed sooner than 11 o'clock each night. I'm just exhausted in the morning, yet I continue to stay up later than I should.
With that said, I better just go to bed now. It's not even 10 and I have the kitchen cleaned, laundry folded and put away, house picked up, bags packed for the morning....I have no excuse to stay up.
Goodnight!

Princess Bike
My big girl got her first real bike this past summer. Although, it doesn't really have princesses on the bike, she insists that it's called her "Princess Bike" so that's what we call it. Her helmet has the Disney princesses on it so may that's why she insists on calling it that. I am amazed how well she can ride it now, compared to when she first got it in June. It's so much fun watching her grow and discover new things she can do.
Pumpkins galore!
Check this out...
One would think that by this picture, we must have grown pumpkins this year. Nope:) Apparently though, if you throw out 3 pumpkins and decide to throw them into your garden/compost in late fall, you will get pumpkins the following year! Not just a few either, 21 to be exact. A few of them rotted a bit and we still had 3 more ripening after Robert had picked these.
I think we will be growing our own pumpkins again next year!

First day of Ballet
Madelyn started ballet four weeks ago and she just adores everything about it. She is always dancing around the house and making us announce "Ladies and Gentleman boys and girls- The Madelyn (sometimes we have to insert Morgan here instead) princess ballerina..." She is so darn cute! She can always be found wearing her princess dresses or a ballet tutu when we are at home. Anyway, she did a great job at ballet and continues to get better at following her teachers directions as the weeks go on. We look forward to this class every Saturday morning:)
