Homecoming Weekend

Fisch and I went to my family's place this weekend for my sister, Michaela's, homecoming.  Michaela and I are ten years apart so she is still in high school.  I try to be a good sister and make it back for her big events. Michaela and her friends took pictures by the lake around sunset.  It was such a beautiful setting I couldn't resist getting some pictures of my own in :)

Thrifty Thursday

I guess we were really into thrifting stripes last weekend.

Family and Wine

     Another gorgeous weekend in WI...80 degrees and sunny in October(Next week it will probably snow)?! It was the perfect weekend for my family to visit and for us to explore the Wollersheim Winery and take a tour. Wollersheim is located in beautiful Prairie du Sac, WI, about 30 minutes west of Madison. The scenery was breathtaking, the wine awesome, and of course the company was great.

     We took the $5 tour which included a wine tasting afterwards but they also have a store and wine garden where you can buy a bottle, relax and just enjoy the views.  I am thinking Fisch and I will have to go back sometime very soon.

     P.S. Isn't my Grandma gorgeous?  I can only hope to look so good when I am 89.

Fill in the Blank Friday

 Thanks Lauren for Fill in the Blank Fridays!

 

1.   Something popular that I can't stand/just don't "get" is    Coach.  I'm not a label person but I have tried to find a Coach purse I would actually spend that much money on and I haven't had any luck.  The closest I have come is really liking the little silver shiny cluch that I got as a bridesmaids gift...but I always do love shiny things :).

2.   Something unpopular that I secretly love is   meatloaf   .

3.  When I've had a bad day I  take a spoonful of Nutella and watch The Mary Tyler Moore Show  .

4. I prefer   teaching kindergarten students   to   teaching high school students    any day.

5.  Something that makes me nervous is  kids tipping backwards on their chairs! Can't stand it!

6.  Something worth fighting for is    friendship. The good ones. .

7.  When people think of me, I hope they think   "she is a kind and creative woman and a great art teacher." .

Wordless(ish) Wednesday: Picture an Hour

     Yesterday, I took a picture every hour to document of my day.  Being a traveling art teacher my schedule is different everyday.  Tueday is my least busy day with only five classes (four of which are 1st grade meaning I teach the same project four times) and 2 hours of prep time but I still go to all my schools. It was also the only day this week where I didn't have a meeting or open house after school. So here is my somewhat typical Tuesday.

The Book of Awesome

Up North

We had a great weekend at Fisch's Family's Farm.  The Fall colors were gorgeous, the apple pie delicious, and the pumpkins were huge!  It is one of my favorite places to visit in Autumn.

A Weekend Up North

Fisch and I had such a good weekend up North at his family's farm.

It was filled with beautiful fall colors, four wheeling, apple pie, and rooting on all the WI teams who played (and won) this weekend.

Pictures to come! :)
