a kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs....

happy *early* halloween!

so today the children came dressed up to school! the preschoolers were the most adorable thing in the entire world! hahahaa i have to share my pictures with you :) my schoolagers had their party today. we had chips and chocolate, i made them roasted pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin we carved. i also brought in a movie for them to watch *ghostbusters* and they performed for the kindergarteners. it was overall a good afternoon. but sadly, i am not feeling well. i have a stuffed nose and feel congested and i also have a bit of a headache. i think it's because yesterday at work someone pulled the fire alarm just before school ended and i didn't have my coat with me so i was stuck outside in the cold. blahhh... i don't like being sick. i still don't have my voice back yet and i'm getting very upset. i think i have to go see the doctor again.

anywho! picture time!

a moment, a love, a dream, a laugh...

it's thursday!

that means tomorrow is friday and that means the end of the work week! *finally!* soon the weekend will be here and there shall be plenty of snuggling, cuddling and sleeping (also some delicious eating too!).

many people have asked me, "michelle, what are you going to be for halloween?" and i try to explain my outfit. it's pretty difficult to describe. so, i have decided to add a picture of it for everyone to see. i have taken a few pictures of myself in the costume, but i don't want to post them as my makeup and hair aren't done nicely so it doesn't look as good. so without further ado, you have seen my costume! the "dark heart queen."

i'll add some pictures when i get fully dressed up. tomorrow the preschoolers, jk/sk's and schoolagers will be dressing up for halloween! i'm going to be taking lots of pictures, especially of the little ones as they'll be super CUTE! :) i'll be sure to share them with you too!! I will also be dressed up as well, but in something a little more conservative then my costume. i'm going to be queen of the nile. boom! there's a pic. it should be fun.

anywho. that's enough for now. tonight is grey's anatomy so i'll be watching that later. for now i'm going to make sure my costume fits and then maybe take a nap before ga. see ya! :)

just stay there (cause i'll be coming over)

so! yesterday i took on an educational assisant job for a little boy with aspergers. it is definitely an interesting experience. luckily i have someone with me at all times so that if i don't know what to do, she can help me. i'm actually quite happy that i took this on though. while i do have my special education part 1 qualification, being able to get this one-on-one interaction has confirmed my beliefs that if i were to teach a spec ed class, i would definitely feel more comfortable being a more seasoned teacher. i feel that i would burn out sooner rather than later and i still have much to learn about the art of teaching!

anywho! on a more happier note! i feel like showing off some of the things that some of my kids have been doing in my program. since halloween is fast approaching we have been making ghosts in the graveyard. unfortunately, we started to run out of white paint and our ghosts had to disappear and turn into graves lol. but they still turned out pretty cute.


my students also want to put on a play/dance for halloween so they've been making some scenery for it as well! they are a pretty talented bunch when they're not arguing with each other or getting hyper! they've also been decorating the class with ghosts and chains which has been fun, but sadly they had to be taken down as hanging them from the ceiling was deemed a fire hazard :(

in other news, this saturday is halloween! last nigt alan and i bought our pumpkin and carved it out :) it's super duper awesome and cute this year :) i love it! so we'll be handing out candy at his house again this year then after we will be heading out to a party @ the science centre called "monster's ball." it will be interesting! i shall let you know all about that after it happens! and on an even happier note, i'll be heading to waterloo to celebrate joanne's big 2-2! it will also be my first time @ bomber! it shall be interesting and i took off thursday so that i can stay overnight and head home during the day without being all blah the next day at work! :) so i'm uber excited!

anywho! that's enough for now. i'm feeling a little sleepy so i think that i'll be getting ready for bed soon! nighty night! :D
