Aren't they funny?

Funny quote from the 3rd graders:

A girl in my class came into class looking a little down. "My dog had surgery this weekend on it's part where it has babies, so now my dog can't have babies."

I had my students at the back table reading a book about Endangered Sea Turtles. Boy in my class starts reading and then turns to me, "I wonder if God made the animal, the sea turtle." he pauses, "Yes, I think he did." Later on he said, "It says here that humans don't care about turtles. I'm sure that makes God sad."

Same kid as he is leaving to go back to his seat turns to me and says, (as he is patting his belly) "Did you know that sometimes you get stretch marks on your tummy? When you have a baby- Weird huh?"

Murder Mystery Party

Our friends Alisha and Patrick invited us to a Murder Mystery party. Bob had never attended one before and it had been maybe 10 years since I last attended one. It was fun to dress up and go out for the night.

I was a woman who had 4 previous husbands, I loved to go to Paris and Milan to go shopping every few weeks, and owned an art gallery.* I had to bring a prop from school. Thinking I had a pack with 1's, 10's, and 100's- but I ended up with just a pack of 1's. It still worked though.

Bob was a young bachelor who was could never settle down with one woman. He was in line to inherit his father's business.

Patrick's character always said MEGA in front of everything he said, and it was so funny! It was a great night.

It was so much fun to see Patrick and Alisha, meet some new friends and eat some good food. I wish we had taken a group picture. One of the couples had switched the parts and the girl dressed as the guy and the guy as the girl. It was pretty funny!

Little Shop of Horrors

On Halloween we went to the Hale Center Theater and watched Little Shop of Horrors. It was a great play. We really enjoyed the acting and singing. Bob had never been there before and was a little shocked at how small the theater really is. We didn't know that the dress code was Halloween best, so we saw Shrek and his wife, purple people eaters, 80's girls, witches, and a lot of other fun costumes. We were definitely under dressed for the evening.

Where will we be?

This coming year there will be some changes in our lives. Bob has been applying to pharmacy schools and slowly one by one we are hearing back. Bob had his first interview in Manchester, New Hampshire and we found out last night that he has been accepted. When I looked at the map, I said no. Way too far away. But the more I have thought about it, the more I like it. We are excited knowing we have a place to go. But, we still have 8 schools to hear back from. Most are on the west coast. One in Utah, and one in Washington- both places we would like to live in. A lot of schools don't send out interviews until January-March, so it is a bit of a waiting game. I am so proud of Bob- and can't wait to start the journey of pharmacy school!
