Crawling out from the crypt

Thank you Ms.Misantropia for the giveaway. I'm looking forward to read it and I hope it's not that corny as the movies ;-). I also got a card letter in my first letter and a book mark fit for a dark novel.
So were the hell have I been?
I have been working a huge part and trying to keep pace with my studies at the same time, more on that later for you who are interested. 

We didn't throw our annual Halloween party because of my tight scedule. But pumpkin cupcakes it was and Alfons carved out the huge one . The inside gave a huge batch of pumpkin puree to bake and make tasty stuff.

A tip when you carve out the meat of the pumpkin. Bake it in a pan tightly covered with an ovensheet on low heat to get a nice puree with all the flavours left.

The rest of the time has evolved around technology and science only, even at my sparetime. Oskar and his class mates joined the First Lego League challenge. It was an exciting game. They had a good chance to win but as a sensor failed to work an the other didn't have the equal calibration, they lost the semi.
We also visited the science museum for kids. Where they have a simple and harmless laboratory. My bunch are making lava lamps on this photo.

 I had to buy the Monster High Halloween pack. The magazine is ridicilous, I hate the effeminated texts in it. The craft stuff was nice and I finally have a real ink pen that works for my lefthanded writing. Yay!!

So why do I work so much? Well I teach two different math classes, I also have a class in chemistry, then I'm an examinator for some of the third grades exam assignments and I'm a mentor for a couple of students in my first grade class. This could fill my time completely but I also teach second technology and scientific specialisation. In these two last classes there are no books, no material to use, and no material to find. I teach my scientific class steel plant technology, hot forming of steel and material technology, because that's something I have knowledge of. The technology class is worse, they ought to learn mechanics like transmission, hydraulics, and pneumatics and so forth but I can't find any books of good standars. I have no idea what other technology teachers are doing in this case, this course is very new as well. I have this weekend to work on this and to do my own schoolwork, an essay about environmental sustainability work in school.

I say bye for now. See you maybe in another month...

    1. Nej, men det är nära. Idag har jag bara setat i soffan och inte orkat nånting. Imorgon ska jag ta itu med lite saker, sen är ju barnen här.

  3. Your Halloween looked magical! And I absolutely adored the Twilight books, I am sure you will too. Though they're mocked quite a bit they're actually a deliciously good guilty pleasure.

    1. Ah, thanks for your reply! I hoped that the movies didn't do the books justice

  4. Vad snabbt du fick boken, oj! Jag var sen med att skicka och började fundera på om jag skulle ha skrivit ett Julkort istället för ett Halloweenkort :)

    Vad trevligt att ni kunde göra goda saker av pumporna också. Jag bryr mig dock aldrig om folie när jag ugnsbakar pumpahalvorna, eftersom jag tycker att skalet från pumpan räcker som skydd.

    Ta hand om dig!

    1. Kruxet är ju att jag tar inkråmet från pumpan och bakar så jag har inget skal.
      Nej det är lugnt, jag har ändå inte tid att läsa skönlitteratur just nu :-)

  6. I find Monster High cute too! I think every Gothy girl wishes it was around when she was a kid! As if my mum would have let me have the dolls!

    Wow, you are busy! And those kids must be so clever to make those robot things! Those cupcakes look delicious, yum!
