The Carlton Chronicles: November 2011

Remember that time I didn't blog for months. Oh yeah--school started and my blog life was put on hold. It's amazing how fast time goes by and how easy it is to get wrapped up in work. I mean lesson plans, grades, and centers totally takes over your life at nights when you teach. When I'm not working at night--I just don't want to sit down to "think." I absolutely love my job and so glad I chose the profession I did but it sure is exhausting. I totally believe that we have summers for a reason. It's our time to recoup for the next school year. This first nine weeks is already over and I have to say--I made it. It seems like only yesterday that I was blogging about the fierce Irene hurricane and preparing for my kinderbabies to arrive on the first day. I can't believe I closed out grades today. Sure does scare me on how fast time flies.

Well, in the past few months Craig and I have been busy with work, celebrating birthdays, and hanging out in hospitals. Here is a super quick run down month by month on the crazy life we lead:

Septemberr:

1. School started--took over the whole month of September.

2. Went to the Jason Aldean concert.

3. Erin came to visit and I ate at Citrus for the first time.

4. More school work.

October:

1. My wonderful mom turned 50!

2. I went to my first Redskins game as an Eagle's fan with Craig to celebrate his birthday.

3. My wonderful husband, Craig, turned 26.

4. We ran the Wicked 10k!

5. Craig broke his wrist playing hockey and had surgery.

6. Celebrated Halloween with our nephew.

As for November, it's just beginning and I'm sure it is going to keep us just as crazy as the previous months. With Craig's wrist broken--I think things got crazier. I am definitely looking forward to the upcoming holidays and can't wait until after Thanksgiving so I can put up my Christmas decorations (definitely my most favorite time of year)! I love decorating for Christmas but I sure do love all the family time that comes along with it!

I will leave you with a few photographs of the events from the past months and I hope to keep up to date with the blog life. After a teacher work day that got me caught up and the first nine weeks under my belt--I hope I'm in the clear for the next few months! Have a great week!
