It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

But seriously. It's beautiful out. Well, quickly turning into a mess, but lovely for a moment. It's quickly turning into a rain storm. You know, the kind Guns n Roses sang about at my jr. high dances. 

Besides the weather though, I've started shopping. I got s sweet outfit for the MapleLea dolls to share,and a neat little set of puzzles for the kids. W is super easy, she likes lots of stuff - dolls, anything artsy or for writing or crafts, Nerf weapons...K is trickier. He likes hockey sticks and skater shoes. I have a few ideas though; I think some of those perler beads, maybe some dominoes to build things. I'm trying to simplify. 

The man is getting a fancy coffee press and grinder. And some other things, as yet undetermined. 

5 more weeks of school until Christmas break!  Today was a hard day. One of our little (medium) people really lost his shit, and it's become quite clear that we are simply not equipped to serve him. We are teachers, and we are doing a great job, but we are not mental health professionals. It's very frustrating and disheartening and disappointing and sad for everyone involved. 

Going to snuggle my puppy. Or husband. Either way.
