Halloween 2022 {Acorn Cottage at Night}

I always love the sparkle of seasonal lights at night. Halloween time is especially fun to use orange colored lights, as well as, flame lights. I could not wait until the lights came on just a couple days ago to see the lights lining the roof made possible by Let's Get Lit.

Have you decorated for the Halloween season yet?

Halloween 2022 {Let's Get Lit}

Every year I try to do something a little different in the front yard. This year I called upon a local company, Let's Get Lit (Don't you just love the name of this lighting company?). Scheduled a while back, the installers came by today and sent progression photos of the lights which line the roof line.

I cannot wait to see it all lit at night. You know I'll be sharing more with you.

From Concept...

By the way, I have not blogged much since the start of school as the beginning of the year is always such a busy one. With the holiday seasons upon us, I am sure I'll be writing and sharing more of my seasonal decor. Thanks for those of you who checked in.

Also, prayers to all in the path of Hurricane Ian. We south Louisianians know all too well what you are about to go through.

Let's Get Lit, y'all!

My Classroom Theme {Out of this World}

I still cannot believe that my summer has ended, and I am back at school. The students arived last Thursday. Every year, I come up with a theme for the classroom, for it helps to keep me organized. The students also love to see what I can come up with from year to year. I guess that you can say my themes have become traditions for our 7th grade classes. This year, I have chosen "Out of this World" as my theme. A scientist astronaut hanging on a star gives me plenty of thematic ideas.

Welcome to our "SPACE!"

Here's a closer look at this year's classroom theme:
