random things in november...

 This blog has some random things from a few weeks ago all the way to yesterday!
First let me say I cannot believe how quickly time is flying this year!! It's November already?? what? I feel like I just made my new years resolution list like a month ago! (which by the way I hate thinking about my resolution list this late in the year b/c there's always things I totally slacked on-like reading at least one book a month!-actually I was doing it, even more than one book a month, until school started!)
anyway, 2 weeks until Thanksgiving break for me! and it is a busy busy 2 weeks!! We have our Veterans Day celebration on Wednesday where all the grade levels are performing-I'm trying to keep my brain from getting all mixed up before that day! Its so hard sometimes trying to remember all the different motions and words to songs...but I'm excited-the kids are going to do a great job! We hope a lot of Veterans will show up=) I also have 2 weeks to get the 4th graders ready for their program on Dec 8th and also the 5th graders are performing on Dec 3rd for the Grand Prairie Tree Lighting!
Ok, enough of that, its making me stressed again to think of it.

Here are the few pictures from my choir concert (Arlington Master Chorale) in October

There's me singing my heart out!

My mom took my picture in front of the organ!
It was so beautiful with all the songs we did.
 We also had a woodwind, brass and percussion section playing with us!

BOTH sides of my parents were there to hear us sing!
 I was so very excited they drove all the way out.
I only got a picture with my mom, but thanks you all for coming=)
Sorry this is blurry, I still think its cute.


These are my kiddos at their October performance.
School House Rock, they were
SOOO good!


This is at my dad's birthday party from Friday night, we had a game night.
 Before we ate pizza Madeline said the prayer-it was so cute!

My dad is 55 this year! He decided to quit smoking. I am soo excited!!


We had fun playing the 'Buzz' game!


Mr and Mrs Carl-so cute!


All the ladies!


Jordan and his mom-by the way, jordan was in a bet
with one of his friends to see how long he would keep
 his facial hair 'handlebars'...that's why those are there:


Jordan and I, we haven't had much luck getting very good pictures lately..


Saturday night, Jordan and I had a lot of fun eating
 dinner together and then going to Starbucks!
We haven't gone there in a long time, and I really miss it b/c its always special.




Ok, so I hope you have a great week! 
I am looking forward to the holidays and being with family and friends.
 I am almost done with my Christmas shopping too-
so I can relax over the break! =)
Thanks for reading!!
