Revealed on the Road (FOR REAL THIS TIME)

Actually, we are NOT technically on the "road" because we aren't driving....

But we are out of town still.

And I was so excited because we had to go through Lebanon to get here....(now I know I can't drive that on my own)!!

Every mile or so, there is a place for another lane of traffic to "merge" in with you...and
they don't discriminate-
They merge from both sides!!!!
I tried to read while he was driving-
but the boys were too loud.

I tried to sleep-
but everytime he shifted lanes, I felt it and it made me tense up.
(My behind got  a great workout on the way here...it was flexed the whole time!!! hee hee)

We got adjoining rooms at the hotel...(and this is terrible)

We are making the boys share a bed, Chickadee gets her own bed,
and then in our room...

The  MR and I are in our own (separate) beds.

What?!?!

I love the man- but there is something to be said for having a bed to yourself!
My pillows are so fluffy.
And there isn't any snory- man-breath on them.
And no one rolled over and took my covers-
which is good,
 because I ran into a penguin on the way to the bathroom last night
BECAUSE IT'S SO FRACKIN' COLD IN HERE!!!!!!

My youngest Little and I tried to take some pictures together after we got ready this morning and before we went
over to visit with family.

Actually, the original plan was NOT to do this together- but as you will see in this series of pictures, he made
it a duo photo shoot. It loops because I wanted everyone to see what goes on behind the scenes....
Watch the Little as pops in and out of the background.

{The background noise is there because I had to video the ppt with my camera THEN load it BACK on to the MAC}

We did happen to get this one:

I think this one was my favorite.

 Are you happy now Holly and Kristin????
See what I have to go through to try and get a pic?
Not to mention the fact that I live up to the Squirrels name  because
it always looks like I am storing stuff in my cheeks when I try to smile on purpose!!!

This disdain for being photographed is apparently a gene that can be passed on:

I told you I was raising a bunch of eggheads!

I have given it to Chickadee!!!
This is one half of the pinata they had today...it is her new hat:)

Tomorrow is a big day so it is time for me to check Google Reader, then hit the hay

{my very own hay....all by myself...yeah!!!!}

Buddies, Beauties, and Boxes

Hi- Diddley-Ho, Neighbors!

So much to share, so much to share... I wish I had musical notes clipart... then I would put them in a clipart bucket and then I could carry a tune in a bucket!!!! hardy har har!

First, let me introduce you to the "man" behind the blog, the one who keeps me going...
the one without whom none of this coziness on the couch with a laptop would be possible....

Squirrel-friends meet Truman. Truman meet Squirrel-Friends. He is a jealous guy and sometimes will put himself between me and the computer.

 His real name....no offense to my patriotic partners is "Hairy A** Truman"...Get it?
But we only call him Truman:)

He is my bud- always at my feet, in my lap or by my side. {He is trying to sleep right now, but I am bugging him}.

Next- check these out:

Even just the box got me excited!

From The Valentine Blog Exchange Day 14...My Package came today! {I love getting mail}

 They are so pretty! Thank you Theresa and Alissa from Primary Princesses...Head over and check them out:- Cuteness Galore!)

And the stars must all be aligned- because that was NOT the only thing I recd in the mail today....no it was not the 500th Explanation of Benefits from Chick-a-dee's Holiday Hospital Vacation....although I could wallpaper the office with those.....
do they realize that they aren't really explaining anything to me? They have written the same thing on the same piece of paper like 20 times and there is "what the Dr charged" and "what the Ins allowed" and "what I owe" and "what the ^$%^*&....."

OVERLOAD! TMI on those things- just send me a bill {so I can consider paying it} :)

Anyway....this was in my living room when I got home today...

Holy Macaroni! That is a B.I.G. box! 

It has my name on it.

It is kind of heavy.

It is for my birthday.

It is not supposed to be opened until next Wednesday!!!! Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!

Oh, I want to make that last line disappear.... I don't want to see that....

I want a neon sign that flashes : OPEN ME! IT'S OKAY! NO ONE WILL KNOW IF YOU OPENED IT EARLY!!!

Except for the fact that it is from my mother-in-law and I may or may not have encouraged her to read my blog a few times. And if I open, of course I am going to have to take a picture of it, and then
I will be TOTALLY busted!!!!!

So I have to wait.......bite your nails with me ladies and we'll get that sucker opened in one week......{Oh Dear Lord, I won't make it}


OK, now to take my mind off if this:
 {It's staring at me}

My class made Mrs. Cupcakes Sweet Tooth tooth and toothbrush craftivity last week....
I decorated the door today- no camera at school, so crappy phone pic......

Let me get closer and see if you notice it before I tell you...

Do you see the guy in the sunglasses? Remember Team George? I stopped him before he added the fangs!

Some people think this is the example that I made....not so ...it is from one of my boys....the one who saw the "Big J.C". in the squiggle...yeah, that one. He is awesome!

And I leave you tonight, thinking I will go brush my teeth immediately after this post....why? Because of the Hitler Tooth!

We should all be scared of Hitler Tooth!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday.....

KRYPTONITE!!!

Ahhhh...can you hear that?

Shhh....listen closely-

That is the sound of everyone in my house sleeping {pooch included} except for me.

"Why isn't Miss Squirrels sleeping?" might you ask...

Well, sit back and I'll tell ya~

Cause I spent all day sleeping and avoiding getting my work done! And then I got on the "bloggity blog blog" Google Reader and I got stuck!

Stuck? "How did Miss Squirrels get stuck?" might you ask...

Well, I'll tell you that, too~

It's because I have no willpower when it comes to the Freebies, and the Giveaways, and sharing and the ideas and, and, and....{dramatic pause}

Blogging is my kryptonite~ It keeps me from doing all things  that other people think are important!


The round of final evaluations has begun at school! It's the UNANNOUNCED {nounced, nounced} - that was an echo....
Instructional {al, al} - another echo for effect.

I should be more worried- I should be frantically writing and typing and printing~ but you know what? I am just gonna {in the words of the great JWWOW} "Do me"... I am just going to do me, be me, and let it go.

I have been observed twice for Math and once in Science, so my calculations indicate that someone should be showing up for Literacy Block anyday now...

There- that part is done. I feel better.

Speaking of feeling better- I have gotten used to the retainer...
Only a week and a half! Whoo! hoo!

I was cutting the MR's hair yesterday and I sneezed....then a minute or so later, I ran my tongue along my teeth and I had to have him look. Is it still there?
Nope!
It flew right off when I sneezed!
So then I was like Velma on the ground, but instead of looking for my glasses, I was looking for my retainer!!!!
{Let's just pray there is no sneezing during the Eval!!!!!}




I have pictures of the Nursing Depts visit to the class for Dental Health (will post later) and some cute teeth we made: totally got the idea from Pinterest

Apple slices, marshmallows, and a thin line of spray frosting (it is supposed to be peanut butter, but I have pb allergies in the class)...they turned out so cute!!!!!

And now it is getting down to the wire- I have to finish my work, but before I go-
I found "Color Splash" on Photobucket .....this is a pic of the MRs grandfather at a 4th of July Parade in Smalltown, USA

I just think it's so neat!!

OK, I can't put it off anymore...I must finish up
Have a great week!
