Gosh it's November

So I didn't get to go to the pumpkin patch with the kiddos this year (no bonfires, no dropped hotdogs, no messy pumpkins) so I went with Bob (the boyfriend!). yay!
He's the one that made my card website (www.meganscards.com) Note to self-if a guy offers to spend hours and hours creating a website for you, it's probably more than just wanting to be your friend. I'm a little clueless at times:)


This is my class at the fire station. we took a walking field trip.


And this is all 6 classes at the fire station. They strapped Dawn to one of those backboard things they put people one after they've been in a car accident (gurney maybe?) and flipped her upside down. Poor thing:)
Out like a trout. Have a great day!

So I hope Grandparents Day was fun times...did Champ find herself a "sugar daddy?"
Dawn got her hair chopped off and gave it to Locks of Love! It's adorable. I'll have to put a picture on here.

Thanks for the mail! We're glad you liked the care package! It was fun to put together!
We miss you girls a lot-but we're doing well.

Here are a few "funnies"-
1. "I think I have a headache in my shoulder."
2. We had a tornado drill experience that was good times. We crammed our entire class in our bathroom. Do you girls have to do that?

Dawn and I are both doing "butler" learnals and they're going so well!

Hope to hear from you soon!
Love, Megan and Dawn

I've found a really good solution to gets getting in their backpacks before they get home (get parents permission first:) . Use zip ties! I have a collection b/c my roommate had a truck load. Then the parents can snip it when they get home. Wow. I should have thought of this sooner.

I hope your open houses and parent nights went well! Dawn and I are sending you a little something soon...it should be fun:) We have 4 days under our belt now and yesterday we had 2 false fire alarm drills:) Oops. I was picking my kids up from music and the music teacher was talking with her hands (like I do often) and she accidentally hit the fire alarm on the wall. Oops. So pretty soon there were 600+ student outside. The hallways at our school are somewhat of a maze so we just found the closest door and kept walking:)
Love you Bolivar Babes!

Yay Angie! Yay Butler! I'm proud of you both for posting:) Just a few more of you to convince:) Thanks for the school update Angie! Oh gosh, I'd be stressed too. I talked to Champ on Friday and she told me about the waxing thing! Gracious. That marlin. I'm going to post pictures later this week of my room "before" (in the scary state) and "after" (after I've put in 40+ hours making it look livable:). I spent 2 days alone cleaning out this huge supply closet (Dawn and I get to share it!) and here's a short list of some things that I found:

1. milkbone dog treats
2. enough pasta to open my own Italian restaurant:)
3. construction paper like you wouldn't believe! (I won't need to buy any for at least several years)
4. A bucket of old acorns (must have been for the unit on fall)
5. 4 (count them, four) balances
6. 6 containers of unifix cubes
7. 2 boxes of "Whisper phones"
8. enough markers to supply art for several years:)
9. a deer antler
10. 2 shelves of old discarded school library books


Anyway...thought you might enjoy that. Dawn and I now have a place to put things...which i find helpful! The teachers that had the closet before must have been pack rats that would have made B.O. proud.

We get to go to new teacher meetings this week. Yippee.
Oh, and our custodians are very pleasant!
