My Crazy Child Continued/My Teaching Debut/Halloween

Here is Mallory spinning on the bars at Bailey's birthday party! Olivia, Mallory's other cousin took this picture and she just sent it to me! I love it!!! Mallory made Charles spin her on this thing a MILLION times! She had way too much fun. It looks pretty dangerous, but Mallory sort of lives for danger. I think Danger should have been her middle name.


I'm also teaching actual sixth graders this week. It is so much fun! They are really great kids that I'm teaching. I am teaching multiplying and dividing fractions!!! It is tough, but if I can teach this stuff, I think I may make it as a middle school math teacher. I wrote my name on the blackboard the first day of class and it was kind of a surreal moment for me! I felt like a real teacher. The next morning one student walked in and she said "Hi Mrs. Walker!" I was just so touched that she even remembered my name, let alone was happy to see me! The kids are so funny and keep me laughing. They are definitely never short for words.

I gave them homework last night to find a recipe in their house and to multiply it by 2/3 and divide it by 3/4... (only half of them actually did it). They just wanted to bake it and bring it into class! Friday, I'm going to let them bring in their food and we'll have a party after they get done with their test. We'll see how that goes...

Here's a picture of my first day teaching! I look a little frumpy due to my coat but I was COLD! Mom also made fun of my socks, but I don't like my feet getting cold.
(I get a name badge... pretty sweet!)

I also forgot to upload Halloween photos! Mallory was going to be Zoe from Sesame Street, but we decided that she was NOT going to keep a hat on her head so she went as SUPER MALLORY!

Of course Grandma made the costume!
We went Trunk or Treating with Mallory's cousins Bailey and Carly. Mallory carried that candy holder in her mouth and walked around like that. It was adorable!
She looks so precious here!
She carried her own candy the whole time! People were amazed that when they gave her a piece of candy she politely put it in her bucket and asked for another! She's a champion trick or treater!
