What I'm Loving Wednesday!

First off, I am LOVING this cool weather. Need to get some more boots & scarves to match this perfect weather.

 

Also, I am LOVING that I got to teach my FIRST (that's right, first!) science lesson today! Our principal this year is very different than last year's and so we have a bit more freedom with our lessons. Starting every Wednesday, we will be teaching science for an hour. Today, we did an exciting lesson called Gummy Bear Galore! It was so fun to watch the kids and hear them talk about how cool it was. I am planning on doing a classroom post soon, so I will post deets in that. :)

 

I am LOVING my subscription to Birchbox. And speaking of, I should be getting my birchbox for the month of October here soon. For those of you who don't know, you pay $10/month and get a precious box once a month of awesome beauty samples! You can enter your skin type, hair type, interests, etc. and they will send you things they think you'd like based off your profile. Last month, I got some fall nail polish, lip balm, mascara (which I'm OBSESSED with), face makeup for people with awful skin like myself, and some brazilian blow out spray for little frizz-heads like me. If you are a girl and are into that stuff, I highly recommend getting a subcription. WAY worth the $10/month.

 

I am also LOVING Breaking Bad. Yeah, yeah old news right? Well I started watching it while I was pregnant and became obsessed. Then I got kinda bored with it. But now I am back at it and ready to start season 5! So nobody ruin the new season for me. OR ELSE!

 

I am LOVING that I went to yoga yesterday. I missed it! I am not very good, but it's so relaxing and so good for your body. A new hot yoga place opened up in Nampa and I am preparing myself for that soon. :)

 

I am LOVING everything about Ri's cute little personality. She is now eating some baby food and cereal a few times a day. Some times she loves it and others she acts like I'm Satan for trying to feed it to her. She is also LOVING her new little Jungle-themed jumperoo. I will post more deets in her 6 month update.

 

Happy Hump Day everyone!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Long Weekend Recap

First off, who said weekends are supposed to be relaxing? Because mine DEFINITELY was anything but relaxing. However, it was a lot of fun!

Us teachers had Thursday AND Friday off due to State Teacher Conferences (who goes to those anyway?) I started my weekend on Thursday by going Halloween shopping with my sweet little nephew, Xavier and watching Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2! I knew Xavier would agree to keep me company if I told him we were going to Halloween stores (he's freakishly obsessed). I decided to go to Old Navy first because I heard they had some cute costumes there (and I had a coupon but whatevs). The first thing he says when we walk in is, "Hey! This doesn't look like a Halloween store!" Haha smart kid. Anyway, I ended up scoring an adorable unicorn costume for Rilyn for $13! Heck yeah! We also went to Michaels and got some little Halloween knick knacks just for fun. :) We ended the day by watching Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. I was SOOOOO happy he picked that movie because I've been dying to see it. Way cute! I'd almost (almoooosttt) say it's worth paying $10.25 to see.

The weekend was so long I seriously don't even remember what I did on Friday & Saturday was a pretty lazy day. Saturday night I went to good ole' NP to celebrate a friend's birthday which was very entertaining as always. :)

Sunday we took MORE of Rilyn's 6 month pictures. A week or so ago, my wonderful sister in law, Sammy, took some super cute outdoor pictures of Ri and on Sunday we did her indoor 6 month pictures. Sam did SUCH a good job! Here are some cutie patooty pics from the indoor session:

My personal favorite!

My sweet little ginger princess ;)

 Rub-a-dub-dub-baby in the tub!

 

P.S. Her hair looks SUPER red in these pictures (which I LOVE), but it's not this red in real life. It does have a little red tint to it. I'm actually hoping she does have red hair. So pretty :)

 

Here are a few from the outdoor sesh. (Rilyn was not impressed with these at all btw)

 

 

I can't wait to print these off!

Also, Sunday my mom and I went to my favorite store, Babies-R-Us, and got Rilyn a sweet little Jumperoo so she can practice her vertical for basketball. (ha!) She is seriously so obsessed with it. I love watching her bounce and bounce and bounce! Her little legs remind me of Mumble from Happy Feet. It's so precious.

 

Ri had a ton of fun shopping despite how tired she was. Such a lil trooper.

 

 

 A not so great photo of Ri bouncing. She bounces so much it's hard to get a good picture! Silly girl.

 

 

There's our fun-filled weekend in a nutshell. Ri also turned 6 months at the end of September so keep an eye out for a sweet post about her old age coming soon! :)
