Why do teachers dress like witches?

Attended the class party earlier. The princess commented "why do the teachers always dress like witches?"

Wondering why myself. Three years,three witches.

The class made the following to keep the ghosts and goblins away. A mixture of equal parts:bird seed,oatmeal and cheerios. Sprinkle on the lawn.

Watch out for birds LOL

Happy Halloween

;-)

Happy Halloween

I know it's a little early but I just had to share this with all of you. The above window painting was done by my nephew and two classmates.

Invisible fortune cookie

Last night I picked up some Chinese take out. While unpacking the bag I discovered a sealed but empty fortune cookie package. Left it out for the princess just for fun. She was puzzled and decided the cookie was invisible, she wants to trick her friends with it now.

Timing is everything

I was reading the school lunch menu as to plan for the upcoming week and made a startling discovery. Some of the sloppiest lunches are being offered on picture days. Spaghetti w/meat sauce and sliders. It's obvious that the powers that be did not consult one another when making this plan. The same thing happened last spring. Photo day/messy lunch, maybe they did plan it or are they that obtuse?

Some might think it is a larger conspiracy including the food service department,photographers,laundry detergent companies and perhaps even children's clothing manufacturers. Others would conclude it's just poor planning.

Executive decision:She's bringing lunch on picture day. LOL

Crocodile Rock

Had some fun today with the crocodile puppet. Sang Crocodile Rock to the princess,not as well as Elton John but it will do.

We have the same puppet as Craig Ferguson uses on The Late Late Show. Love these puppets. Want one? The next giveaway will be for a crocodile puppet. Check back for details

Sir Lost A Lot and the quest for the Schwinn chainguard

Sir Lost A Lot has returned from his overnight adventure to the 25th annual Trexlertown Antique Classic Bicycle show. For those of you unfamiliar it's bicycle nirvana for collectors. This annual ritual features grown men searching for the bikes and accessories of their dreams,often by flashlight. The show officially starts Sunday morning at 6:00AM, however many arrive the night before to wheel,deal and talk about bicycles. There are some hardcore collectors that travel a great distance to attend this event.

This was not his first trip to the venue but it was his first alone. In years past both pre and post princess I have accompanied him and functioned as a driver and or navigator. The princess and I had another commitment and were unable to attend. Boohoo. So off he went with overnight gear planning to sleep in his truck,40 degree weather was forecast.


I received a call from him midway through the trip, he'd somehow managed to get off the interstate well short of his intended destination. I was able to get him back on track. He arrived later than planned but he did get there with daylight to spare.

Among the treasures he returned with were two bikes, a pair of handlebars, three tires and lots of stories. He'd been trying to find a chain guard for a Schwinn Stingray he's been working on for over a year.A trip to the show is not complete without a breakfast of ham, egg and cheese on white bread cheerfully prepared by the Goodwill Fire company members.


As with any collection one can get carried away easily. Some visitors liken it to an addiction and another is quoted as comparing the bikes to lost puppies that need a home.

So much for the space gained by the recent disposition of 10 bikes. LOL

Eloise Unplugged...in the lavatory

Received a call from the princess teacher a few days ago. Seems she has discovered that lavatories have fabulous acoustics. She likes to sing and can out scream Jamie Lee Curtis. The speech teacher went in to see what all the racket was about and got to have a live performance of the princess,unplugged. At the conclusion, she was personally escorted back to class where upon the there was much dicussion regarding her perfomance and how it was a to be a "once and only". I found it hard to keep my composure during the phone call that followed shortly thereafter.


I investigated the scene myself the next day at parents night.The speech pathologists room is closest to the girls lav,the princess classroom is the furthest. I told her teacher the first time we spoke,she's your Eloise,good luck. Oh second grade is going to be so much funner.
