Halloween in 3rd grade!

Three posts in one day! I am definitely getting all caught up on my blogging! Well, Friday was a busy, crazy, but really fun day with my class. I loved seeing them in their costumes and watching them have a good time at our class party! First we had a parade around the school and then we had our party complete with Limbo! They absolutely loved it. I was doubled over laughing when they all started chanting, "How low can you go? How low can you go?".

My team was 80's. Amy, Kristi, Me, and Shelley

Heather was a red lifesaver. So original!

After all the festivities at school Chris and I went to Rob and Inessa's house and hung out with some other couples from church. Present at our get together were, Mario and Luigi and Sarah Palin and Joe Six Pack. Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera inside!

Branigans in Branson!

Last weekend, when my parent/teacher conferences were over we headed to Branson to meet the rest of our Branigan crew! We had a really fun weekend and were able to spend some good quality time together before the craziness of the holidays. We stayed at a condo on Table Rock Lake and enjoyed some incredible fall foliage. We mostly hung around the condo and ate, ate, ate! But when we were out we went to a Cowboy Chuck Wagon Supper, shopping at the Branson Landing, and rode The Ducks! All in all we had a fabulous time and can't wait to do it again next year!

At the Circle B Chuck Wagon

Shopping at the Branson Landing. Chris had to get a wheelchair because his feet were giving him trouble!

About to get on the Ducks! We had to go quacking all the way there! It was hysterical!

They even let me, David, and Chris drive!! What were they thinking!

Two Weddings and a Date Night

Well earlier in October we had two weddings back to back on the same weekend and I am just now getting around to posting some pictures! Shelly and Andrew were on a Friday night at a gorgeous mansion in Lee's Summit and then Matt and Deborah were on Saturday in Oklahoma City. We had a really fun time at both weddings and especially getting to see some friends in OKC!

This was the first wedding, Shelly (who I teach 3rd grade with) and Andy.

They had a gospel choir come and sing for their recessional! It was incredible!

Wedding number 2: Matt and Deborah in OKC

The grooms cake! So cute...his old car was a yellow bug.

The next weekend Chris booked a hotel for us to stay in for the night! It was really fun and nice to "get away" even if we only stayed in Kansas City! The start to our spontaneous date night...Chris told me to pack a bag and get dressed up!

ON the way!!

Yummy Olive Garden!

Our hotel room.

I think that this is something that all couples should do! Get away for a night even if you just go to a hotel down the road!
