We got an upgrade on our Christmas tree this year! Went from a not-quite-6-foot Wesley Pine to a very-large-7.5-foot Donner Fir. We had the smaller tree for quuuuite a few years and now you can barely see that thing behind the new one lol. Can't wait to put lights up and decorate tomorrow!! #christmas #deckingthosehalls

Kacie was always such a great travel companion. It was strange traveling to Minnesota last month without her. #wemissher #shewasthebest #KacieAnn #restinpeace #dogsofinstagram #forever

Mrs. Caple's Class Is Thankful For...mostly pets lol. We did a spiderweb idea map on the board with ideas from the whole class and then I passed out feathers for each student to pick what they were most thankful for yesterday. Came back and hung up our turkey today. Can't wait to get back to class after the break and be reminded of what we are thankful for. #firstgrade #theyresofunny #andsweet #thankful #thanksgiving #onlyatrbe #clairerebecca

So proud of this girl. RBE's Jr Beta Club Induction Ceremony was last night and being this year's Vice President, she was second to speak after our President. She was calm, graceful, and spoke clearly...completely different from how I would have been lol. #keeponkeepingon #onlyatrbe #jrbetaclub

So I tried a new style today. It's out of my comfort zone but I kind of loved it. I got some pretty good reviews from teacher friends and students while I was subbing for our amazing librarian today. One teacher told me I looked so sweet that I looked almost evil. Best compliment I received all day!! #alwaystrynewthings #awkwardinaskirt #awkwardinlife

RBE's Jr. Beta Club's newly elected Vice President is at home doing chores like she's supposed to, even though she had a full day at school, plus recording her SGA election speech AND the Jr. Beta Club meeting after school. Stay tuned for updates on her SGA campaign!! #lovethisgirl #thischildofmine #soproud #JrBetaClub #onlyatrbe

My Audrey is running for RBE's Vice President this year. She did all of her research and found what posters she wanted that tie into her speech and what she wants to stand for. I love her heart and ambition. #proudmom #RBE #leaderinme #7habits #onlyatrbe

My sweet, sweet husband thought of me and ordered me the complete set of the old newspaper comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. I tell him often how much I loved that comic strip and how my dad and I always read them together. I'm pretty sure a good chunk of my imagination, silliness, and sarcasm comes from this boy and his only-real-to-him tiger. Thanks SO much, love bug!! #calvinandhobbes #calvinandhobbeswisdom

This is me, locking myself in my room after sending myself there. My girls will grow to appreciate being sent to their rooms one day, just as I appreciate it now. #notgonnaloseit #uglycryface #thisiswhatmotherhoodlookslike #dontjudgeme #momlife
