Quick Halloween pic
Here we are at the Block Party...Cheesing it up a little bit, both representin' our workplaces. (Photo courtesy of North Cleveland Baptist's photo booth.) Our church had a booth selling baked goods, drinks, & caramel apples. We raised about $300 towards a mission trip next year. My idea of fun on a Halloween night? Not being at the block party. lol. But at least we had good fellowship, & I was able to spend the evening with my hubby. I have a sneaky suspicion that our booth may become an annual outreach event. More pictures to come.

Campin' in the Sticks
I mentioned on the blog a few weeks ago that we were going to camp on the evening of October 7th. I have finally found myself a few spare moments to share some of the pictures from the evening.
We had some friends and family up to our property on a Friday evening. We enjoyed food, fellowship, and a chilly evening outdoors.
Here I am on my first "real" sleep in a tent, outside camping adventure. Oh so brave...You can see the light from our cabin in the background.
Here's a view of the campground from our front porch.
And an evening view from the night before (when Josh set up) showing the tiki torches & lantern glowing.
Some of our smoky sittin'.
On the left is Christen (wife of Justin, who was the youth pastor at our church before Josh was), me in the middle, and on the right is Denise (wife of Josh, our church pastor).
Here is Christianna entertaining herself for a moment with some of the books and toys that Aunt Amanda brought up from the house.
Here's our tent "circle."
Here's the tent where I spent the night. Overall, sleeping outside is not a fantastic experience, but I got a few hours of sleep. I played catch-up that Saturday afternoon with a 4 hour nap. I faired better than some of the others who came who decided to sleep in our cabin instead.
Here are some of our tired campers enjoying breakfast by the fire. My hubby is sitting down on the other side of Jared (Josh's friend, who is in the red). Justin is in the background on the other side of Christen.
Here's view of the mountains from where I was sitting.

And here's Aunt Amanda, lending her hat to Christianna for a photo op. Overall, a fun experience. I definitely enjoyed the time in fellowship.

In case you missed it...
Cleveland Daily Banner ran a story yesterday which talked about the award I won back in July.
I'm also linked to on the Lee University page as well.
To God be the glory! ;)

You know you're an early childhood teacher when...
...You manage to buy something for you classroom almost every time you are at Dollar General or Wal-Mart.
...You always refer to going to the bathroom as "going to the potty"...even when you're talking about yourself.
...You don't wonder why the dinosaur has no hands, you simply wonder who chewed them off.
...You have pictures like this on your computer where you are working on labels for your shelves.
You take pictures of random creatures and plant life so that you can use them in your science center.
You not only stop to look at seasonal t-shirts at Wal-Mart, but you then proceed to buy three because being a school teacher means sportin' seasonal wear. (Being careful, of course, to avoid anything that looks too "teacher-y."
...You wander outside at 10 PM on a late Wednesday night after church, and proceed to walk over to your Sassafras tree. You begin to shake it vigorously so as to knock down the "dinosaur footprint" leaves that you can use for a 3-D craft for a dinosaur unit the next day.
...You're sitting at the computer at almost 11:00 PM at night, wondering why you didn't finish that lesson plan (that's being evaluated tomorrow) a little earlier than now.
