Naughty and Nice Party

Carrie and Mark hosted a Naughty and Nice Party. At first I was a little confused at what this type of party would look like. I did know I had the perfect shirt!

Here is Drew in his Christmas sweater while I sport my 'Naughty but Nice' shirt.

Although some people didn't dress up at all Carrie took the cake with her Mrs. Claus outfit! Way to go all out Carrie! And thanks for a fun time. Next time I will know what sort of gifts to bring to a Naughty and Nice party and will be prepared to participate in the gift exchange.

The Word is Out!

Word has gotten out how great of a teacher I am and how awesome drawing is. I just found out yesterday that they are going to have to add another drawing 1 class to my schedule because the wait list for drawing is so long! They are going to combine my currently three advanced drawings into two classes and make my seventh hour another drawing 1. To which I said, "I love having freshmen seventh hour!" A little joke always throws my principal off, but I think I'm pretty funny.

So my classes will be full, but I think I'm off to a good start to my goal of building up the art department!

Now my room is a mess from my first semester. Debating on cleaning now or coming in later.

Tacky Sweater Day

This past week it was Tacky Sweater Day at school. Although I was lacking in the sweater department Carol Ann came through and provided one for me to wear. As a department we looked great! This is one of Tim's many tacky creations of the season. And if you ask he will be sure to tell you about how he lost out on prizes at two different Tacky Christmas parties he went to over the weekend.

Here's the art gang. (me, Tim, Carol Ann, and Trish.)

Colorado Springs

I know this Thanksgiving post is a little late, but here is goes anyway. I drove to Colorado Springs over the break with my boyfriend to visit my best friend, Kathryn, from high school. Although I don't have any good pictures from the actual Thanksgiving. Kathryn has some good ones here. These pictures are from our visit to the Garden of the Gods. We lucked out and had a beautiful day to walk around and check out the sites.

Kathryn and me!

Me and the boy!
