Pumpkin dip and that is all

Sorry no pics today, but imagine an orange-like baby food you have seen and you will imagine this pumpkin dip.

Pumpkin Dip

2 cups powdered sugar
1 8oz pkg of cream cheese
15 oz can of pumpkin filling
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
* needs more spice (maybe some nutmeg)

Cream the sugar and the cream cheese until smooth. Then add the rest and mix. Chill for 8 hours. Serve with apple or pear slices and some ginger snaps.

I made this for our munchie day at work. I am not a fan of pumpkin but it sounded interesting. It needed some more spice. It made a nice size med bowlful of orange like baby poop, I mean goop.  It was more than half way gone when I disposed of it after my kids devoured some of it as well.   If you are pumpkin fan, this is good appetizer.

No new news here in the land of Ingram. We are all healthy and warm.

I have nothing to really write about. My life has been boring these past two weeks. I have been a little lonely but this time I don't mind. I had to show the teachers my techno gadgets that I have in my classroom since I am the tech fellow. Glazed over eyes left my room that day.  I dyed my hair back to the original color before gray overtook my head. Yup no highlights for me for awhile. Went to a new person and I will go back. She listened to what I wanted. The kids have been cooped up inside due to the chillier weather and I love it except the noise and bickering.

Busy week

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
