I am really up a creek today! I have played the last 2 weekends with no thought to getting any prep work done!! AND TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!

There will be no sleep for me tonight as I plan and prep all the festive Halloween stations for my classroom party tomorrow. I shouldn’t even be blogging right now, but procrastination seems to be my middle name 🙂

I have no idea how I survived today. Luckily I did have plenty of learning activities planned and prepped as this years class seems to take a little longer to do any one thing, so I am way over prepped for the month of October (and apples go along with pumpkins so no one seemed to notice when I supplemented with an apple themed activity today). Let’s also not discount craftivity time! When the going gets tough, I grab a craft!! Today, free painting with water colors for everyone.

But all the while I am leading students through learning tasks, large group and small group alike, my brain was working overtime…you still have this to do for tomorrow and that, and don’t forget about this. OH, and you saw that thing on Instagram, you could pull it off. WHY DID I TAKE THE WEEKEND OFF???!!! Oh yeah, out of town family visiting…what I should have done is put them to work. That was a completely lost opportunity.

So now I have put off getting back to prepping long enough. Hopefully the pudding and jello has set. Anyone else planning very messy, sensory activities tomorrow in celebration of Halloween…AKA MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY!!!!!!! How could I let it sneak up on my without its due attention?!

Wine tonight will be served in my Halloween themed glass! Prep first…then WINE!! Because there will be no time for sleep!
