I'll tell ya, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I looooove dressing up, love hanging out with friends, love making funky gross-looking food, and loooooove parties!

For Cooking Club, we had a great group of former and current members.

Oh my goodness, these women are FUN!

Mmmmm...BACON!

Forgive the food pictures. I neglected to take any with my camera, but my sister did manage to snag some with her phone.
I made a vomiting pumpkin (guacamole...mmmmm)

Used Q-tips (mini marshmallows with white icing and crushed cookies on the end)

Bloody band-aids (graham crackers with white icing and strawberry pie filling- YUM)

The bleeding brain
(gelatin, pureed peaches and syrup, whipped cream vodka, filled with blackberry and strawberry pie filling)

Fun times, y'all, fun times!!

We went to another fab-u-lous party last night. Pictures to come.

And today we are headed to yet another.

Seriously, this is a fun fun time of year!

Oh, yes, I am...

...still here, that is. Busy, plugging along, fighting off a cold, and having a pretty awesome time on break. And, yes, we're still on break. Until Monday.
woot, woot.

recap:
Surprise visit from one of my favorite people! October, nice shirt. Looks like something my husband would wear.

Hand-sewn Picasso pillow, totally inspired by Michelle my Belle.

Love, love, love her art and her shop.This is what I do when my Man wants me to watch a movie with him. Some of us can't.ever.sit.still.

Then there was Cooking Club Girls Night Out, to celebrate seeing Jami!

Do I have the most gorgeous, awesome friends or what?!

Erin, Angie, Michele

We've been doing crafts and science experiments, field trips, and manners

boot camp during this Christmas vacation. Lots to blog about.

Plus, our 100th Day of School is on Monday. Yippee!!

I'm busy planning lessons and field trips, and tweaking our daily schedule. Plus Art. Lots of art in the works. I'm participating in the Sketchbook challenge, and have been working on my Highly Prized drawing. Please let me know if you're doing it, too!

I'm back, guys, so stay tuned for more... :D
