House Full o' Sick People!

Teaching in a new school I am exposed to all kinds of germs, and luckily have the immune system of a superhero to avoid getting a bunch of what has been going around (H1N1, colds, flus, pink eye, strep, etc...) however, a megabug going around I just couldn't fight. Its been everywhere. I'm pretty sure I got it from the student- every class has one- that can't leave his fingers out of his green-boogery nose, coughs without covering his mouth, sneezes in a way that spreads to other states, and the one you just wanna dunk in a hot, soapy shower. Poor kid, he's also my glue eater.

So this is what our week and weekend has looked like:

Laying on the couch (usually in PJs, but he got dressed today) with the dogs snuggled up. The pups enjoy everyone being snuggle-ready, but they are are really antsy because no one has walked them or had the energy to play with them much. We're also going on day #5 of the Dokupon Kingdom marathon. (its a wii game)

Please send some chicken soup!

Happy St Pats!

We had some fun plans for the holiday- but getting sick wasn't one of them. We were going to Disney on Ice with some of our fav. people and Sarah had some fun planned for her class. But since we're doped up on cold medicine the best we can do is leave you with this photo of Sarah being a leprechaun at age 5-7(?)

Jeff Dunham LIVE!

For Christmas one thing I got for Vincent was a set of tickets to see Jeff Dunham live. Sure, I got the tickets in December and we had to wait until March to see the show- but I get priority odering on tickets so I got us in RowC, center!!!

We were very excited to have our tickets:

I gave Vince an Achmed talking bobblehead along with the tickets, and at the show we got the matching Walter talking bobble head. "I keel you!"

Bobbley Heads:

The show was great, all new material (well at least new to us- none of the old jokes off the DVDs or Comedy Central specials) and even "Guitar Guy" was there. 

We Got Spirit Yes We Do!

It was Spirit Week at the school I'm at and so heres two selections of how I've been getting into the spirit this week:

Crazy Hair Day!

This took about 90 minutes of crimping, lots of teasing, pink glitter spray, and included four ponytails

Decade Day!

There was a lot of flexibility in this one but I went for the Hippie "Peace, Love, and Happiness" thing.

I'm enjoying the new class, school, district, etc WAY better than her last experience! ... if you couldn't tell it seems to be a better fit for my crazy personality!

Happy 28th Bithday, Vince!

Its hard to believe this handsome man is such an old dude now! Vince celebrated his 28th Birthday with a Mickey Mouse and Catan themed celebration. Sarah surprised him with the 25th anniversary wooden edition of the Catan board game and matching Catan-inspired cake, and he even got his biggest birthday wish of all: SNOW!

Happy Birthday, Vince!!!

The Many Halloween Costumes of Sarah

If everyday could be Halloween- Sarah would be the happiest person in the world. Here are a few quick shots of some (yes.."some" there were more!) of her costumes used this October!

This was thrown together quickly for Trick-or-Treating night to give out candy. We call it the "voodoo princess" look... but it was honestly "some of this, some of that" last minute!

This zombie getup (before the blood was added) was actually a joke at first because we picked up a package of Tshirts for a project and didn't realize until we opened them that they were for young boys. Sarah was just goofing around pretending to be the hulk ("hulk smash!") but it ended up being zombie-riffic!

More Zombie fun! This ratted hair and makeup just made Sarah look like she was sleep deprived or something.

This one was done especially for the Murder Mystery. Sarah was Little Red Riding Hood.
