WWIW: So the journey begins...

So this weekend I decided I could not find any reason that I should not do What I Wore Wednesday. The only real reason is that I do have a full length mirror (hence the half pics you will see). I just decided to do this on Monday, so I only have Monday and my two outfits from Tuesday. Hopefully I will become more diligent! Thanks to Jordyn for encouraging me to start this up!

Monday:

Cardigan: Christmas gift

Pink Shirt: Rugged Warehouse

Necklace: Aeropostale

Grey Pants: Ross

Tuesday:

Whoops...forgot!

Wednesday:

Green Shirt: Charlotte Russe

Purple Shirt: Christmas gift

Grey Capris: Hand-me-down

Grey Boots: Rack Room Shoes

Scarf: Made by Me!

Tuesday Night 

(We had to attend a teacher dessert get-together-thing)

Cardigan: Target

Dress: Goodwill

Necklace: Christmas gift

Leggings: Target

Boots: same as above

Watch: Big Lots

If nothing else these postings make me realize I get my clothes at random places. Happy Wednesday! Linking up at The Pleated Poppy!

Ode to Kindergarten Crafts

So being a kindergarten teacher has taught me an important lesson this past week. I am not very good at crafts, or at least Thanksgiving/Halloween crafts. Last week I decided to use pumpkins to show symmetry. We already had pumpkins printed on orange paper, so I thought we would use those. My assistant was out of town, so I decided we would use watercolors. Fail. Watercolors on orange paper all look brown. Also, in order to do symmetry the paint has to stay wet. Watercolors dry after about 20 seconds. So now I have pumpkins hanging in my room that are half brown and half orange.

If that wasn't enough yesterday we colored on pumpkins. We are going out for Other's Day tomorrow to a retirement home. I thought it would be cute to give them small pumpkins. For some reason I thought that magic markers worked on pumpkins. So we colored our pumpkins and decorated them with glitter and sequins. I come into school this morning and the pumpkins are still wet with marker. I should have realized this yesterday when the children had marker up to their elbows. To say the least we cannot give wet pumpkins to the senior citizens, so now we are making cards...

Any better craft ideas?
