Here we are into November already.....well, it seems ALREADY!!

We had a wonderful Halloween with the kidlets.  They arrived as Hermione (Ms Em), a Storm Trooper (Lukie), Woody (Landon), and a Dragon (Isaac).  Angie was a cat, Steve brought his Ostrich outfit (he wore it briefly), Mike was a devil, and I was a Halloween Angel .  We had a quick bite of pizza burgers, and homemade cheese and pepperoni pizzas, grapes, chips and dip.  Then everyone loaded up onto the trailer and Mike pulled them around the neighborhood via the lawn tractor for Trick or Treating.  What a great time,  even the weather cooperated at a comfy 50 degrees.  The kiddos came back with their containers full of lucious candies and squeals of delight. 

I did take pictures, but as of this moment I don't have any uploaded to share, neither does anyone else, so I can't borrow from FB.....BOO!

The next day (Tuesday) I was lucky enough to be picked by Lukie to be his 'STAR'.  I met him in his classroom at 7:40 and we went to Mass together, then to the meeting rooms for a cinnamon roll and juice/coffee (YAY).  We met up with Emily and her 'STAR' , Angie, and then quickly headed back to the second grade classroom to visit a bit and then I was off to meet Amy at Bachman's looking for some more basket  items for the upcoming church gala.  She is in charge of the school baskets and she is doing a terrific job of putting themes/items together.  Then we met Barb T. for lunch at Applebees.  I picked up the kidlets from school then and we had a Mac n' Don's treat on the way home.   What a lovely day  ;-)

So, November is off to a great start.  I am finishing up my Coffee Basket for the Gala----I am calling it "Filled to the Brim".  I have two Fireside Coffees, a Starbucks Christmas Blend Coffee, 24 little coffee creamers, a coffee scoop, Apple Cider Tea, and I still need to purchase a Caribou Gift Card.  It is all put together into a large coffee cup planter--Amy's purchase and idea for the theme!!  I told you she was great!

Didn't stop at SB's today, but had some Delightful creamer in my fresh coffee this morn ....Yummy!!
