Happy Haunting

So I decided I need to get up a blog about Halloween before Thanksgiving gets here. So this year I decided to make Kale's Halloween costume. I wanted him to be the infamous Cookie Monster because he loves, loves, loves him some cookies. So I thought it would only be appropriate. So to begin I went and found some fleece on sale at a local fabric store. I got way to much but oh well. Then I found a stocking hat at Target for $1. Thread and ping pong balls and a borrowed sewing machine and I'm ready to begin. So I had to figure out just how I was going to do with with NO pattern. So I got one of Kale's over sized jackets and traced it onto the felt. Then I began sewing. I can't even tell you what to do first or how I did it, but it actually came out great. I sewed the main part of the shirt then added the hat and sewed it in. Hot glue some ping pong balls with black circles drawn on and add some Target sweat pants and you get this.

Pretty darn cute if I do say so myself! He loved it and so did I! So if you get an itch to make something fun like this for a special occasion I say go for it....you just might surprise yourself!

God Bless!!

Playing the Game

So the Dr. said that I needed to go on and stop the passy use at Kale's 15 month check-up. I was at some advantage, because Kale only used his passy at bedtime. This was still going to be hard. The Dr. told me to try cutting holes in the passy and he would eventually not want it because it wouldn't work as he wanted it. Well, that didn't work at all. My genius son figured out how to plug the air hole on the front of the passy with his hand and get the suction he wanted out of it. So we slept with holey passies for a while, and at 18 months I decided it was finally time to really do this. So I knew the only other way was to go cold turkey! So I waited until after vacation times because I could not imagine no passies in a place unfamiliar with him. So when we got back home for the summer he suddenly began NOT wanting to go to sleep. He faught naps and bedtime (still with passy), and I couldn't figure it out. He used to LOVE night-night time! So I took advantage of this big time. I knew I was going to have to let him cry himself to sleep because there was no getting around not going to sleep. So I snatched passy!!!! Brilliant if I do say so myself. If you are going to cry because you don't want to go to sleep then go on and cry because you don't have passy too! When it began he cried for a good 10 minutes. It has slowly gotten better and now may fuss a little for just a few minutes. We are now going on a full week of no passy and getting better at going right to sleep when put in his crib. YAY!!!! Playing Smart or Playing Dirty....call it what you want, but the job is done at 18 months!!!! Soon he will never know there was such a thing as passy!

Quick Hello!

Well hello blogging world...long time no see! Things with school are kinda starting to wind down. Tomorrow is awards day so of course I am up late working on my DVD. It's taking forever. Shouldn't I know by now not to wait to the last minute!! Oh well!

Bumper Sticker

So I have to vent a little tonight! I realized today that I need a bumper sticker that says "If you don't like what I do then say a prayer for me" or maybe one that says "Do I bother you? Let me know and I will say a prayer for YOU!"
For real!! So I get called to the bosses' office today to get told that a parent, "that would like to remain anonymous", called to complain about me and my driving. See if I am running late to school and the carline is backed up I have a little short cut I take to get me closer to the front of the line. So this 'anonymous' parent called to tell my boss that and his son saw me and asked why can't we do that daddy? He asked her how he was supposed to teach his son the right thing to do when I was doing the wrong thing? First off....wrong, it was not! Tell your son this...'well honey, she is a teacher and she needs get to work'. I mean really, I already give children the education they need to succeed, do I need to help you raise them too???
I teach my students that what he did is called tatteling! I didn't do anything to you personally so get over it! So I cut you in line! Guess what, we are going to the same place!
*Okay I'm gonna stop now!

Oh the Joy of a Little Boy!

This is going to be short and sweet, but I had to blog about it. My son LOVES a bath. As soon as he hears the water he comes running. So we are both in the bathroom and I am running his water gaging the temperature and what not. Mean while my son has opened the cabinets (where we store the extra toliet paper) and decided to start stuffing the FULL rolls into the, open, toilet. Luckly he was stacking them on top of one another so we only lost one. I couldn't help but laugh and still had to pop the hand. He keeps my life interesting....I LOVE IT!
