Howdy all,
This is gonna be a short one. Ok. My play is on tomorrow and Tuesday so I have been very busy with that. The costume lady dropped out at the last minute and so now I am the costume lady. I have been cutting and sewing and putting all of the costumes together. It is quite fun except a lot of the last minute.
School was also busy this week. The school had a Professional YoYo man come in to do YoYo tricks. He was mega lame. His tricks weren’t very good and he kept making mistakes. And then he did a whole thing about how the YoYos were for sale. It kind of reminded me about how the YoYo people were on the Simpsons. Except they were much better and more of the kids on the Simpsons had YoYos.
We also had an excursion to a museum to learn about Ancient Egypt. That was cool except that the ladies who ran it were Nazis. They told you what to look at and when to look at it. I guess that is the way to control every one.
There was also the Spring musical on this week. On Thursday night we had to stay back and watch the play and on Friday it was grandparents day. This is when grandparents come to the class to see there grandkids. Then they watch the spring musical again. We were swarmed. A good portion of the grandparents were Dutch and so I heard many many many Dutch accents. It was awesome.
Jane Ann is studying Ancient Egypt with her class. So, one of the activities she is doing with her class is making a mummy out of a chicken. She got one of her students to bring in a chicken from his granddads chicken farm. It still had its head and its guts on it and everything. (which is what we wanted). We opened the chicken up to take out the guts. It was pretty gross. But it was pretty awesome.
And Jane Ans class is doing assembly next week. They are doing a medieval thing and need swords and shields and that. They have all been bringing this stuff from home. One kid had a whole gown and hood and sword and everything. I asked him what he used it for. He said chasing his brothers around. I said I could see him wearing it all on Saturday mornings watching tv. He looked at me and said “I only did that once”. Classic.
