I have a good excuse as to why I didn't blog last week - it's called grandma's sale! More on that in a little bit, promise, but first, what happened in our life before grandma's!
Trunk or Treat at Grandma Donna's church. A tradition each year!
Walking Taco, reminded me of high school basketball games back home and growing up in a small town.
Reading more than ever! I just finished Barely Breathing, the second book in the trilogy (I have to wait for a while before the third book to come out and it is pure torture).
Lola sleeping. She always comes in at bed time and doesn't feel well. The cure is always to cure up in mama's arms and snuggle.
Two weeks ago it was definitely hoodie weather in the morning!
I worked all last week on my Sub Tub - everything in there a sub could ever want, and more: lesson plans and copies made, supplies, schedules, behavior expectations, what to do in an emergency, band-aides, nurse passes, snacks, books, etc. It took me forever to do, but I am so thankful that it is done, and in the event that I need to miss another day of work, I feel like it will be a piece of cake to do so!
Halloween was exciting for the simple fact that it was one of our favorite holidays to celebrate, but for two other BIG reasons: vocabulary parade at school and student of the month awards. Kyan and Lola were both of their classes student of the months for October! It was nice to be able to celebrate with them both the entire day! We enjoyed donuts and juice after the parade and assembly! The vocabulary assembly has become a tradition at the school as well. Kyan and I had to choose a compound word and design a t-shirt. He went with snowman, so I played off of his word and went with snowflake! Felt kinda funny to have a Fall party in my classroom decked out in a winter shirt! Each member of Lola's class was a number, she was number 25!
Passed out candy on Halloween night after we walked around the neighborhood together as a family. I think my kids like this part more than getting treats!
The morning after Halloween, I went to wake up Lola and she rolled over and said, "I just need a break off today!" I couldn't help but giggle and let her sleep for five more minutes!
Thursday after school let out, I set up my sub tub for my classroom the following day, and waited for my husband to get home, very impatiently, I might add. As soon as he walked in the door, I ran out and picked up my friend, Meghan, and we headed to grandma and grandpa's for a quick little getaway! We laughed so hard with them and my mother-in-law Donna the whole weekend! Not only did we laugh a lot, but we scored some amazing deals in between the dusting of all the furniture! I really hope that this sale sticks around for years to come! Thank you grandma and grandpa for such a great time!
Saturday morning we returned from the east valley and went to a friend's baptism. I had 800 other things that I should have been doing after the party got over, but I was so pooped from the 40 hours away from home, the only thing I wanted to do was hang out with my babies. That is exactly what I did with the two of them the remainder of my weekend! They swam on Saturday (it was so nice outside). No, our pool isn't heated, they are just crazy! They didn't make it past the first step in our pool, but they were in, splashing away! Sunday evening the kids rode the quad around the backyard giggling away. We even had an outdoor dance party to cap the night off!
Monday I found myself in LOTS and LOTS of pain. To the point where I couldn't take it anymore and ended up in the ER. I feel like I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, but I couldn't take this. Found out I have TMJ. At 11:30pm, Meghan dropped me off at home with pain meds in hand, in hopes that it would help.
I went to work on Tuesday and then took Lola to gymnastics later that night. She is still loving her class so much!
As soon as I got home, I was wiped. After being up so late the night before and still in quite a bit of pain, I read myself to sleep...extra early!
Wednesday morning I found her like this and smooched her awake! Couldn't resist those sweet cheeks and lips! She is always so tired in the mornings, but makes for some good sleeping pictures (and I seem to have plenty of them this week of her doing just that).
Thursday was sports day at school in support of the book fair so we dressed in our Arizona team gear and headed to school!
I spent my prep and my lunch with the heating pad on my head/neck. It felt so good and relieved a little bit of pressure.
Headed to the dentist after school to make sure all was good with my night guard and that it was fitting properly and wanted to see what the dentist had to say about TMJ. After our talk, think we figured out what triggered the incident and how to hopefully fix it in the next week or so. If I continue to stay in pain after a week, I'll look into a Plan B, but not going there until I try Plan A first!
Whew, what a week!
Hurry up mom and dad and get her already!
Can't wait to see you this weekend!!!
