Five for Fridays

1.  It was photo shoot Saturday last Saturday morning.  We took Halloween pictures, then took Sparty pictures, and then Breslin man was done with all of his outfits and wanted to be freeeeeee!!!  So here he is hammin it up for all the little ladies out there!
2.  Still going dairy/egg/nut/shellfish/sea food free.  It is not as hard as I had anticipated.  Mitzi came over with a recipe for a pumpkin spice cake that is egg and dairy free and uber tasty.  The only time the diet gets frustrating is when I don't plan out meals ahead of time, because then I want to do the quick and easy thing, which more often than not has some sort of dairy in it.
3.  I went to an Educators in Industry Day on Friday instead of being in the classroom.  It was truly a great learning experience.  We visited two different companies and talked to them about what would make our students more prepared to be in their work environment.  What they think the applicants are lacking, and so on and so forth.  Then the dean of math and sciences from Cal Poly gave a great lunchtime speech about what is expected of students in the first year as college students, and why so many students seem to fail out.  It was definitely well worth my while.
4.  We booked our plane tickets back for the MSU/Minnesota game next weekend.  And Breslin's Oma bought Breslin a Michigan State sweatsuit and coat and jacket for the game next weekend.  Because Breslin WILL be attending this game.  (It won't be as crazy as the Michigan game... or so we hope).
5.  This year we didn't quite get around to putting up our Halloween decorations :(  I am planning on putting up Thanksgiving decorations when we get back from our next Michigan trip.
