When You Wish Upon A Star: Finishing Up September

I wish I could be posting this in September, but hey - that's life, it just gets away from you sometimes! All in all, September was a great month, lots of fun, and full of friends, and of course, me loving all the fall decorating!!! There's just something refreshing about it!

Sept. 19 - We have a mice issue in my classroom at school. Can't blame them for being smart and coming to the room with all the food, but c'mon guys...times are tough for everyone and my budget does not leave any room for your late-night cravings! So...I'm being resourceful and using spaces they cannot get into - like some of the microwaves!

Sept. 20 - All ready to be passed out to the classes making Indoor S'mores! Just one of the prep-parts I do as a foods teacher. It makes the lab-day much less stressful! These were a HUGE hit by the way!!

Sept. 21 - One of my best friends, Megan, gave me this the first Fall we had in our house. I hang it right on a small wall space as you enter the house. This has turned into the place were I put all holiday/seasonal little hangy-things like this cute pumpkin. A great friend starting a great tradition in our house - LOVE it!!

Sept. 22 - I found these at Hobby Lobby and just loved the "branchy" look of them - it's fun to bring the outside in!

Sept. 23 - Thank you Noreen (parents neighbor) who gave this to us for Jack's birthday! Too cute and fun!

Sept. 24 - Celebrating Octoberfest at Lynfred Winery for Jackie's Birthday. While I didn't get a picture with Jackie this day, I did get a few with my favorite K-Fed who I miss dearly! Lots of love!!!!

Sept. 25 - Sadie is the best grad-school reading buddy someone could ask for! She's always there supporting me as I read lots of books that I don't understand!!

Sept. 26 - A new piece of art my mom got for her house. This is a quote I grew up seeing a lot in our house and how she found this awesome, new, modern one that I just love!!!

Sept. 27 - A new piece my mom was trying out - ended up not working out, but it was cool to photograph at least!

Sept. 28 - Sadie goes to school 1-2 x's a week and throughout the weeks they have fun activities on certain days for the dogs. This day was Dogbowl day - football game between the Green Bay Waggers and the Chicago Dogs. Obviously, Sadie was a Wagger!!! She had a great time and I love seeing her interact with the big pups!
