What I am creating: I knocked out the classroom Halloween cards yesterday. I want to make a few more Halloween cards this week before moving on to Christmas cards next weekend.

My simple pleasures: Loving the few minutes of peace that I can find each day.

What I’m planning: I’m finalizing the Halloween classroom party plans and starting to think about Christmas activities.

Looking around the house: The playroom is yet again a disaster. Really need to clean it this week. We will have to rake some leaves and probably move the grass (one last time) next weekend.

Looking forward to: All the fun Halloween activities coming this week.

From the camera: Loving the chicken piano at Vala’s.
