I'm afraid I'm letting everyone down this week because I only have ONE outfit to share from the Fall Style Me Pretty Challenge!

But I have the best excuse...I was on an extended weekend getaway to Florida. The weather was absolutely PERFECT and I spent 99.9% of my time walking, reading, and napping on the beach!
My typical Florida wardrobe consists of:

Under Armour tank (I pack 4 colors)

Athleta running skirts (4)

Oversized Sunglasses

Flip Flops

That's it! Easiest packing ever!

I don't even pack make-up or hair products -
that's a true vacation :)

Sadly, I have returned to my Baltimore-reality. Here's proof:

I'm thankful Alison included the vest in this week's outfit - it covers a multitude of vacation indulges (totally worth it!)! 

I hope to update this post with today's outfit - please stop back!

This week, we are having a blast studying all about pumpkins! 

I just discovered this ADORABLE book - have you seen this yet?

 

We read through the book Monday and Tuesday and used the writing prompts from DeeDee Will's Listening Center. 

Today we will review the book and watch this:

How Big Could Your Pumpkin Grow?

We also explored our pumpkin theme 

with this week's sensory box:

Have you ever heard of Cloud Dough? It's super-easy to make (& I'm the polar opposite of crafty)! Simply mix 1/8 cup baby oil with 2 cups flour. I added red and yellow food coloring to the baby oil before mixing (it doesn't mix perfectly, but still looked orange-y). I wanted a larger quantity, so I just ended up dumping in about 6 cups of flour and more baby oil until all the flour was saturated, It was incredibly messy to mix up, but not too bad when the students explored. I added these sturdy pumpkin cookie cutters ($0.79 from Target's Halloween section). My students ♥ it!
