10 pictures on the 10th day of the month!
{Document a snapshot of your life & find beauty among the ordinary things in your day!}

 Four years ago on October 10, 2008, I participated with 10 on 10 for the very first time.

It was super small & only a handful of people even knew about it.

My blog was only 2 months old and I thought it was such a fun idea to document my day every hour for 10 hours. My little Claire Bear was only 1 month old.

 Since that very first time I did 10 on 10, I was hooked.

For the past FOUR years, every month, I have documented the 10th day of the month.

I haven't missed a month yet!!! I can't believe it. I am proud of myself for sticking with this for so long.

Today, I looked back on all 4 years of 10 on 10 that I posted. 

I was so fun to see how our family has grown over the past 4 years via 10 on 10. 

Thank you Rebekah for creating such a fun project! I look forward to the 10th every month!

Here is a snapshot of our day!

On my way out the door & off to school. Pardon how tired I look. I hadn't had my coffee yet.

I will say that the nice thing about going back to work is that I actually get ready in the morning. 

I was a FRUMP A LUMP during maternity leave. Pony tail, no makeup, yoga pants. It was NOT pretty.

 Clearly, I am curvier than I normally am, but I am wearing one of my new shirts that I got this past weekend on my Retail Therapy Shopping Spree. Only $3.97 at Old Navy! Score. I took a close up so you could see the polka dots. Love the shirt!

Here is my cute Starbucks number mug. A student gave this mug to me last year, perfect gift for a math teacher who loves coffee :)

 Beautiful flowers in my classroom that our Small Group sent me this week to welcome me Back to School. What a fun surprise!!! It was my first time ever getting flowers delivered to me! Actually, I take that back, Kevin & the girls hand delivered me flowers at school on my birthday last year.

How I spend my lunchtime each day. Pumping in my classroom. Gotta keep that milk supply going! I was able to nurse the girls for a year & not give them formula. That is my hope with Luke also.

The trees are *finally* starting to SLOWLY change color. Here in California, Fall doesn't arrive on time. I am trying to be patient.

 October means Candy Corn & Pumpkins. Yum.

 Our friend dropped off apples from their Apple Tree. I see an Apple Crisp in our future! Can't wait to make one tomorrow!

 The sunset tonight was BEAUTIFUL. Love the pink sky. Hopefully that means colder weather is on the way! Bring on the Fall weather!!!

This is on my agenda tonight. Editing newborn pictures that I took of my nephew Jack & having a glass of wine. Yessssss. (And, I'll be getting the Crocktober Recipe blogged!)

Hope you had a great 10th!

 Don't forget about Crock-tober Tomorrow!!!! 

Can't wait to see what Crock Pot Recipes you link up!
