Happy Halloween!

After school, I stopped by to vote early for the Presidential Elections!!! Once this task was completed, Leigh and I had to go out of town to get my rings examined (something we have to do every 6 mos. to keep up-to-date with maintenance). Well, it was an eye-opener for me because first of all, I saw that the kiddos in the city trick or treat at the mall of all places! And that seemed a bit strange but I guess it's safer so that's not too bad. The shocker of it all was seeing how some parents were dressed. Wearing something that looks like it came from the pages of a lingerie shop is in VERY BAD TASTE, especially when you're in an area where families are. There is a time and a place for things, and the mall isn't one of them. Plus, what message does that send out to the children (not to mention the teenagers!!!)? Call me prudish, but I wouldn't want my child to see photos of that time period, especially if I am wearing some tarty outfit. It's not good. And it's not good to expose kiddos to that either. The longer they can keep their innocence, the better, I say!

Another Song I Love

Yes, my taste lately has been leaning towards Alternative Music. It's just something that I'm into right now. This is another song I have been waking up to in the a.m.----Leigh doesn't like it...lol..but it makes me joyful.

Here are THE KILLS singing "Sour Cherry":

The Week in a Nutshell

Monday was waiver day for us, and Tuesday was a regular day. As for Wednesday, I was off since Leigh had an appointment in the valley. Then on Thursday the announcements were made for the door decorating contest----our class won 1st Place!!!! So, on Friday, we had a regular day for the a.m. but then after lunch and p.e., it was MOVIE TIMEEEE! Woohoooo! It was a nice change of pace for the kiddos since we were able to watch a movie on Halloween. Yipeee.

Oh yes, in my class today, I had the following characters: Hanna Montana (blond wig and all), a half devil/half angel, a witch, two brides, a fifties girl, a football player, a hunter, Cinderella, the grim reaper, and a gothic girl. Yes, it was a tad bit crazy today, but gosh, I love Halloween!
