Halloween, Baby, And Everything In Betweeen!!

Wow, it has been awhile for me to do some posting! I have been SUPER busy at school. I sometimes feel like I should live at the school. I drive to school in the dark and when I leave after school it's dark! I keep telling myself, someday it will get better! It has to right?

Anyways, everyone keeps asking me to put pictures up of Baby Sudol growing in my tummy! So, today I will deliver. Before Chad went out hunting he snapped a few photos of us (baby and I).



This is from earlier today... 23 Weeks Pregnant. Can't believe that we are on the down hill slope. It seems though as time is slowing moving forward. I just want to see this baby, know what sex it is, kiss this baby, and love up on this baby! So, I am hoping that the holidays go fast and February will be here before I know it!!

These next few pictures are from my classroom. The kiddo's helped me decorate the room. They had so much fun! I am hoping to score a few good deals tomorrow on Halloween for next year. Then I will have more things to decorate with in the classroom.




The ghosts hanging are made out of cheese cloth and liquid starch. I loved making these with the kids! It was VERY messy but we all had fun! I even made a few for our house. I have some hanging from the lights over our table and in the entryway!

I hope that everyone has a good Halloween! We are passing out candy and silly bandz at our house this year. Please come:) My mom and I both keep track every year of how many kids we have. The past two years I have been the WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!

Enjoy your weekend... we have nothing planned and I have enjoyed that. Got some baking done today, took a nap, and cleaned. I think that it's now time to sit down and relax while I watch the rest of the Iowa game! Go Hawks!

Finally Getting into the Swing!

I feel like I am finally getting into the swing of teaching. At first I was totally overwhelmed with my new teaching job. I brought things home every night and worked until it was time to go to bed!

I am now working like a fool during the day to get my tasks completed so I don't have to bring LOTS home. I still bring about an hours worth of things home every night but that's better then what it was!

With this extra time at home I feel like I am being a better wife because I am able to get things done around home. Like cook meals that are not frozen!! I feel like I am a better daughter because I have more time to spend with my parents and talk to them more frequently. I feel like I am a better teacher because in my free time at night I am thinking how I can do things better. Not thinking, "oh man, I am freakin' exhausted!"

Chad and I are thinking about working on the baby room this weekend. We are thinking of taking the old furniture out and picking some paint colors. Missy (my sister-in-law) made this beautiful quilt for the baby. So, I am probably going to pull colors out of the quilt to paint the room in.



I am thinking about pulling the tans out... I have this cute idea on some artwork for the room. I think it would be neat for the baby's cousins to paint some pictures for their new cousin. I have two nephews and one niece. I was thinking about having them paint with the colors that are in the quilt. I also have some good ideas for some sayings to go on the wall. Oh my... before I know it Baby Sudol will be here!!! I totally can't wait!

I go in next week for my 20 week appointment!! I am ready to hear that heartbeat again. It always makes me feel better after hearing the heartbeat. I told Chad we needed to invest in one. We thought about trying to "steal" it from the doctors office... my purse was to small! Just kidding! I WOULD not steal!

I hope that you have a good rest of the work week! It's almost Wednesday:)
