Hey-ooo. Well, halloween has come and gone. ANd I must say, we had a good one. I have a great video of Jones dressed as a lobster but for whatever reason it may or may not play. Astronaut Jones is a powerful rabbit and I'm sure the powers that be are in his corner. He was less than thrilled about being a crustacean for Halloween. Now, a cephalopod on the other hand...that would have been different. Boudreaux and Bridger did not dress up, but promise to for our Christmas card.
Caroline looked adorable in her pea pod costume. Popa did too. However, I did have to have a talk with him and explain that it is not right to not wear pants under his costume. there is somethign very wrong and dirty about a grown man wearing a pea pod costume sans pants. Caroline thought he was hilarious and kept cracking up at him. Not at the fact he was pantless, but rather a grown man dressed as a legume.
I find myself unable to fall asleep the other night because I couldn;t stop thinking about dictators. Not how they oppress or rule tyranically, but rather how much they look like babies. And people will do anything for a baby....or a baby-alike cuz you don't want them to throw a fit. Kim Jong Il- looks like a baby with adult glasses on. Chavez.....looks like a baby with questionable fashion sense ( c'mon, now. an uniform is a uniform but you can't wear the same button down shirt every day. Put a patch on it and bam, it's a uniform. But try telling that to a baby. ) Fidel Castro......not so much like a baby. I haven't figured that one out. I challenge you to review the world's despots and you will find a baby factor. Not the cute side of a baby, but rather the fearsome pre-fit glare matched with chubby cheeks.
I hope you do not lose sleep over this.
Bing has a training today. He is basically playing "cops and robbers" with glorified paint guns at the range with other cops. He gets paid to do this. No wonder he loves his job. Me and Caroline took down the Halloween decorations and are merely counting the days before we get to take out the Christmas decorations.
School is school these days. I really do have an easy bunch this year. I still find myself shocked at 8th graders in general, though. And they remain shocked at how immature a 35 year old woman can be. Needless to say, they love me. One of my girls told me the other day I should have a cartoon character " since you are so crazy and funny. Do you act that way at home?" I assured her that yes, I do behave this way at home and it is more than tolerated.
I leave you with some pics of peapods with and without pants.
