Hello everyone, it's Becky! I'm linking up with Farley from Oh' Boy 4th Grade for one of my favorite linky parties!

Listening: Although I know this post probably won't be finished until Sunday, Greg and I are currently sitting on the couch with SNL on while doing work. It's been awhile since we've watched more than a few clips from an SNL, but I do enjoy Chris Rock's humor!

Loving: I must say that Grayson's Heatwave the Rescue Bot was a hit! Greg spend a lot of time making it (with Gray's help), and Grayson absolutely loved it! Urban was supposed to be a "hippity hop" (horse), but when he saw Gray's costume he changed his mind and wanted to be a Firefighter. Thank goodness for our dress up bin with extra costumes! The boys had a blast trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. This was the first year where both boys were old enough to go around the whole development together. It was so cute seeing them run to the doors and talking to our neighbors!

Thinking: We had conferences two weeks ago, and now have only two weeks left in our trimester. Our report cards will be due soon after that, so I need to be sure I'm ready! I hate feeling so rushed and pressed for time to get my grades in.

Wanting: There are so many things on my "to do" list, and I will say that Greg and I burn the candle at both ends to get things done. I could use more time to check off some of my items, as well as a few more hours of sleep!

Needing: While I'm not ready to give a big announcement yet, I will say that my kiddos will be having more contact with iPads, and I want to do more blog reading to find out how all of my fellow bloggers are using them in their own classrooms!

Reading: I'd love to be reading an adult book, but I just haven't had the time. I will admit that I love reading children's books to Grayson and Urban, as well as to my first graders. My read aloud time is my favorite part of the day! As for the toy reviews, Greg and I have been planning our Christmas toy purchases for the boys. We like to research our considerations for the boys. Sometimes our research can be a little much, but we like to make sure we are making the best decisions!

Well that's all for now! I hope everyone has a wonderful November filled with family, friends, and thankfulness!

Be sure to check out all of my fellow bloggers on the linky to see what they are up to!

Hello everyone! It's Becky! I always wanted to link up with Farley from Oh Boy Fourth Grade for a "Currently" and I am so excited that our new blog gives me this opportunity! So here it goes...

Listening: I was looking for a new series to get into while I do work, and since I'm not really into watching really graphic things, I found the BBC series "The Paradise" on Netflix. I can easily follow it while doing work!  

Loving: We spent two days at Sesame Place this week.  The boys loved it! The characters and shows were definitely the best part of the trip! 

Thinking: I know I need to get into my classroom and start working, but it's hard to do when you want to enjoy your last few weeks of summer!

Wanting: So I gave in on this one! Anyone else love the free popcorn the kids can get at Target?!

Needing: I have a few ideas for my back to school display in my hallway, but I first need to figure out how to use my new Cameo Silhouette.  I won it on an Instagram giveaway a few weeks ago, and can't wait to use it for all of my classroom projects! 

1st Day: Coming waaay too fast! Ready or not, they're coming!  

Happy August!
