Hello November!

Wow! Time really flies past (it seems I say that at the beginning of every month:P). The older I get, the faster days seem to pass by. Especially work days. It's actually so great to discover that it's Friday again (who wouldn't like that?!). Anyway, last week didn't happen much. Jay and I went to the movies to see The Maze Runner which I liked, but found it very confusing... I think if I had read the book first the movie would have made much more sense. But either way I enjoyed it and I will definitely go to see the second part when it comes out. 
Last week I went to the Finnish class only on Monday, but it was such a waste of time. I was just sitting there and learning nothing new.. That's why I didn't go to Tuesday and won't go this upcoming week at all. I can come home and work through half of the textbook in the same time they do one exercise in the class.. I know that it was my own mistake to go to the beginners course.. it's just too easy. But it's okay. I will just study more at home and once in a while will go to the class. 
Work week was pretty busy because my group's other teacher had a surgery so I was alone with my kids. This week will be the same way. I actually like being alone, but it's just so much more work.. Especially planning ect. Last Friday we had a Halloween party. It was so fun! I was dressed up as a Super Woman. I forgot to take photos, but I might ask Jay to take a photo of me later this week (I still have a costume at home).  
This weekend was so great. I feel like I got to rest a lot. I cleaned home, had a student come over for a little study time, then made dinner, baked pumpkin pie ect. Only down side was yesterday evening when I had dinner and pumpkin pie - I just ate too much and felt soo bad afterwards. My stomach hurt and I was so weak.. But then Jay and I went out for a walk and it made me feel much better. Today I was much more cautious with meal sizes - I hate overeating! So, today I was feeling so good. I went to the foodshop with Jay to buy next week's food. I also had a student over for an hour, made dinner, had a face mask on, watched my fav tv show and so on. Jay is at work and will come home around 11pm. I hope that this upcoming week will be very nice and easy. Tomorrow I will have a meeting with a parent and on Tuesday I'm going to a Pupper Theater with my kids. And on Friday we'll have a Father's Day Coffee morning...so there's quite much to wait for :) But the most exciting is the fact that it's November..it means next month is December - my favorite time of the year! My Christmas spirit is so eager to come out. This year I want to make my own ginger bread dough, roast some caramelized almons, burn lots of Chirstmas scented candles, put Christmas decorations out (cannot wait!!!) and much much more! I can't wait till snow comes down and I can listen to Christmas songs (I want Pentatonix's new Christmas album!). I am also looking forward to making some Christmas cards from my friends and going Christmas shopping (I have already done some online shopping:P). Oh, there's so much to look forward to, but I know December is a month away. So I better enjoy this last autumn month and try to make the best of it. But last year I felt that December was too short to really enjoy Christmas season, so this year I am not afraid to start a bit earlier with all these Christmas thoughts, treats and preparations :) High Five if you love Christmas time as much as I do :)

It's almost December and that means only one thing! :D

Oh jõuluaeg, jõuluaeg. Juba ongi viimane novembrikuu päev ja ma olen täiesti jõulumeeleolus :) Uskumatu, et homme algabki kaua oodatud detsember!Täna võtsin jõulu asjad välja ja kaunistasin kodu :) Samuti leidsin aega, et küpsetada selle aasta esimesed piparkoogid. Juba ammu oli isu, aga hoidsin end tagasi, kuni detsember algab. Ja nüüd siis saingi piparkooke teha! Ma väga palju korraga ei teinud, sest tean, et Johannes saab töö juurest kingiks piparkoogivormid (ja igasuguseid muid asju), seega tahan uusi vorme ka kasutada. Ilmselt küpsetan teise laari piparkooke 14.dets. Ostsin ka tuubi sees kahte sorti suhkruglasuuri, aga ma pole neist eriti vaimustuses. Mulle pole kunagi  suhkruglasuur maitsenud. Arvan, et kui järgmine kord küpsetan, siis ostan hoopis šokolaadiglasuuri. On küll kallim, aga ka maitsvam :) Ma muidugi ei pane kõikidele piparkookidele glasuuri, sest ilma on igal juhul kõige parem!!!

//It's the last day of November and tomorrow will start December. That makes me so excited! I have been waiting it for so long! I decorated my home with Christmas lights and other Christmas things today. I also baked my first ginger cookies this year! I bought some sugar icing too, but I don't like it much. I think next time when I will bake more ginger cookies I will use chocolate icing. Jay is getting cookie shapes from his work and after that I definitely want to bake more ginger cookies. Then the cookies will actually look good and you can tell what shape they are :D //
Ootan väga Eesti minekut. Ja seda ühel põhjusel: tahan Jänksi piparkoogi kohukest. See tuleb müügile alati novembrikuu keskel ja on müügil kuni jaanuari lõpuni vms. Ma jumaldan seda kohukest ja võiksin seda igavesti süüa :D Naljakas, ma mäletan, et kui veel koolis käisin ja meil detsembrikuus vahetult enne jõule see kohuke sööklas magustoiduks oli, siis see mulle üldse ei maitsenud ja andsin selle alati teistele süüa. Nüüd ma sööks ise kõikide omad ära :D Maitsed muutuvad!
Jõulumeeleolu aitab mul tekitada loomulikult ka lasteaias suur jõulupeoks ette valmistamine (täpsemalt on meil Christmas Talent Show tulemas). Iga päev harjutame lastega jõululaule, tantse ja kogu programmi (meil on talendi show saatejuht, kohtunikud jms). Väga põnev! Töö juures kuulame ka jõulu muusikat, küpsetame lastega piparkooke ja loomulikult kaunistame kõik vabad pinnad ära :)
Täna kodus ma kuulasin Michael Buble jõululaule, samal ajal kui piparkooke küpsetasin. Ja mis kõige tähtsam - ostsin jõulukuuse! Panin selle täitsa ise kokku ja ehtisin ära ka. Isa ostis mu kuusele led-tuled ka. Nüüd näeb nii ilus välja. Eelmise aasta tulukesed panin hoopis magamistuppa aknale ja voodiraamile. Need on värvilised. Kuusel on mul lihtsalt kollased. Mulle meeldib niimoodi kõige rohkem :)
Ühesõnaga, jõulumeeleolu on meie kodus olemas (vähemalt minul...mu mees jõuludest eriti vaimustused pole). Mõned kingid on mul ka juba olemas, aga enamik vajavad veel ostmist. Küll aga on mul enam-vähem välja mõeldud, mida kellelegi ostan.

//I am also looking forward to going to Estonia on Wednesday because I want to buy my favorite Estonian dessert...gingerbread flavor of course :D 
I have a total Christmas feeling already. At work we practice for our Christmas show (it means we sing Christmas songs and dance by Christmas music). We also do Christmas crafts, bake ginger cookies and we have decorated our whole kindergarten with Christmas lights and Christmas tree ect. It looks so nice and Christmasy :D 
At home today I was listening to Michael Buble's Christmas songs while baking. And the most important - I bought a Christmas tree! Yay! I put it up myself, decorated it and put led-lights on it. It looks very nice! I also put led-lights to my bedroom window and bed's frame. I really love the Christmas feeling in my home :) 
I have done some Christmas gifts shopping, but I definitely need to do more. I hope to get done with it quite soon. :) //
