The Prince Bed

My prodigal child will be returning home tomorrow. Those of you who know us know that it is with mixed feelings we welcome her back. She left us about 15 months ago, and has decided now to come back. Hopefully it will turn out as well as the Prodigal Son story.

Since we gave her bed away, we had to go buy her a new one today. This will be more comfortable than her futon anyway.

The other night hubby and I were talking and he says "I've been wondering about something." Uh-oh...no telling. He says "There are King sized beds and Queen sized beds, why aren't the next ones down called Prince sized?"
Good question. We got Greatness a Prince sized bed. Hopefully she'll love the pink!

Happy Birthday!



Hubby's birthday was this week. Now he's as old as me. My favorite part about this card was what my mom felt the need to point our in parenthesis. The card reads "Turning 40 is really no big deal." My mom adds: (Just ask Michelle). Haha....
The card plays the Monday Night Football music when opened, so it went over well with all the guys.














Of course we had "The Cake" and what would a birthday be without silly string!?













Our great friends brought hubby 40 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.


Individually wrapped!!











We ended the week at a Mexican restaurant and the Mariachi band came to sing.
We didn't tell them, I think they were hoping we'd offer them some cake, so hubby lucked out and didn't have to wear the giant sombrero!

I Am Loved


Well, there are almost no words for this, but I am rarely at a loss for words. It does happen occasionally, and this morning when I walked in was one of those times.
I did start all this this year.
The kids have been walking by all morning and stopping and staring. It's been quite fun.





How do you like Henrietta's new earrings?
And how about Henri's new shirt? Henri's a French hippo.
My door.
My street sign.....
They even got Krispy Kreme footballs.
One of my former student's was helping with all this because his mom works here, and he was worried I was going to be mad. He didn't want me to be mad because I was his favorite teacher. Sweet.
Have a great day! Hook 'Em Horns!

More Mischief

It's rampant, I tell ya. I go to two different schools. This morning upon returning to my home school from my secondary school, I saw this:

I've yet to locate the culprit....
