I'm totally into felt. I love little handmade felt pillows, pin cushions, etc. like this one that I found on Etsy. I was shopping at Cabela's this weekend looking for manly type gifts and came across these really cute ornaments. And, they were 50% off! Sadly I went back to get more for gifts and they were all sold out.

Yeah! Brandon Mull came yesterday. He was very entertaining and really knew how to connect with the kids. We all really enjoyed it and thankfully everyone fit in the Media Center. Anyway, I had my husband snap a picture of us in front of my office. Can't wait till book four comes out.

Thanks to the Tuttles for having us all over Saturday night. Had a great time as usual, hopefully the pictures I took will turn out, I haven't looked them over yet.

I woke up this morning barely able to move my arm. I can't believe how pathetic I am that 45 minutes of Wii tennis could make me that sore. Thanks for the memories!


Christmas - the twins are conflicted about Santa. Gracie doesn't think he's real, but she thinks she has a chance of getting an Ipod if he is, so she's believing 100%. Ian is 80% sure he's not real, but you can tell he's not quite ready to let it go. I'm realizing that Christmas is going to be so much more boring once the little midgets have grown up. You don't realize what you have until it's gone I guess.


Am so excited. Brandon Mull who writes the Fablehaven series will be coming to my school next Monday. I got his email from a friend, and he was so nice! Emailed me right back and said he'd love to come. The kids are getting whipped into a frenzy this week, signing a big poster, and checking out his website. He seems very down to earth, and I've heard he is quite entertaining, so we're all pretty excited to meet him.

It's the first big program I've coordinated at the school. It was a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it.

Check out the website, I took the Fablehaven personality quiz and here is my result... "You are Seth. You think rules are made to break. You hate to read and think school is a total bore. Sometimes though you can come in handy."
