Halloween

So, a couple weeks ago Todd and I were put in the activities committee. Our first assignment was to plan the Halloween party. Yeah, it was fun going out and buying our costumes and dressing up, but the party was lame. I mean, LAME! If it were not for our friends, I think I would have morphed into a real vampire and started killing people just for something to do. And the boringness (not sure if that's a word) was not our fault. Really. We planned activities. Like, really fun ones such as making caramel apples with all sorts of candy bars to put on them, fishing, cake walk...ya know stuff that should make you want to do things but instead everyone just stood around and talked. On the bright side, Todd won funniest costume. I went as a vampire and Todd a cowboy. Here are some pics.

What did you just say??

Yesterday at work the funniest thing happened. Actually, two funny things happened. The first one went like this:

Tyson (a four year old in my class): "I don't get this worksheet! Which one am I supposed to cross out?"
Me: "Well, what does that picture look like? Does the kitty look like the rest of the houses?" (You were supposed to cross out the picture that didn't match.)
Tyson: "It just looks like one big, huge kitty to me..."
Ben (another four year old who says his K's like T's): "Yes, one big, huge titty."

Then at nap time I heard a little girl scream this to one of her friends, "How do you like that, Bridger?!?" I took her out to the hallway and asked her why she was screaming. She just started crying and finally admitted to farting on Bridger's head! Gross, I know, but very funny.

Ivy Elizabeth

Last Monday my sister, Ellen, had her first baby. Her name is Ivy Elizabeth and she is seven pounds seven ounces. She is a doll! I won't be able to meet her until around Christmas, but that's okay with me. She won't realize I'm her favorite person in the world until she's about two, anyway. Here is a picture of her and my sister who still looks incredible, even after giving birth:

My head itches...

It has happened. I have been dreading this day since I started working with kids. One of these children (thankfully not one out of my class) was complaining about their head itching. I didn't even have to look...the LICE was right there climbing all around in this kids hair. I just about fainted. Now, I'm really not that much of a freak when it comes to bugs, but lice gets to me. When I was in third grade I got it and my MOM cut my hair. So you can imagine my memories tied to these little pests. I had Todd check my hair and treated it just in case.

My head is itching just thinking about it. Blah.
