I love October!

October is my FAVORITE month of the year. (It's the month I urged my husband to give up some deer hunting to marry me.) Any way, we have been busy every weekend with something wonderful. We had a birthday/pumpkin carving party with our friends Kaleb and Megan (aka Mini Martha Stewart).

Then we had Boo at the Zoo in Topeka. I've taken Cooper to this before, but I was younger and stupider. Now, I just consider myself stupid. He didn't get to the zoo over the summer, because after the one in Omaha and Colorado Springs, Topeka's is a little sad for me. However, my "Super Mom" cape had been hiding in the closet for a bit and I thought it was a better way to spend a beautiful Saturday instead of cleaning the house or raking leaves. So, here's a pic of my favorite little prince.

Then, of course being a teacher, one of the perks is Halloween at school! These are my friends Tanay, Kristi and I. It was a great excuse to wear sweats to school...Tomorrow will be my third day of parent-teacher conferences. Monday and Tuesday night were school all day and meetings until 7:30. Tomorrow is 7:30-3:30. Friday can't get here soon enough!

Jayhawk Roundball Classic

Those of you that know my hubby know that he played football. There is even a whole little room in our basement that proves it! Surely he keeps up with sports right? WRONG! Well, when we had the opportunity to watch some KU basketball for a good cause I had to take it. It was Coop's first basketball game that did not involve one of my school kids and he was SUPER excited to wear his new KU basketball clothes. (He is his mama's boy!) One of my friends at school recently lost her 5-year-old niece to cancer and this was a fundraiser in Lawrence for pediatric cancer honoring Jayden. It was hot, it was packed, and we soon learned that our son is not good at sitting down, especially when he's trying to keep his eye on Baby Jay...The game was great, but at half time I had to get that boy moving, so we went to get his face painted, which lasted the second half, but we had a happy boy on our hands when it was done!
