I lost my old schools keys at the bottom of The Channel Islands (near Santa Barbara,CA) preparing to SCUBA.

1. Our school new school needs Trees by 3rd grade bungalows

2. New playground area (recycled rubber)- Sand yuck is currently

3. Pre-K area needs shade for playground and trees (all 3 kids though of this --- It's HOTT)

4. Website for school and PTA is in construction ("Dad's what's that Garbage" -- Garbage IN -- Garbage OUT -- I say while surfing and it doesnt work -- quote attrib to my 2 yr old)

5. No baseball Diamond -- 4yr old was PEEVED -- wants sissy's old school (New Field) back

6. Daddy had to go around 4 gates 'cuz he didnt have keys in 99 deg weather -- All 3 PEEVED at me...

you get keys.....WHAT IS SCARY ABOUT THAT!!!!!

love ya Shawn....

That's when the mailbox tipping is the worse! Just within the last five years have my parents actually had a street address! We have always lived at Rural Route 1 Box 67! I'm terrible with directions because I ddin't learn how to go by street names. Dad has their mailbox mounted in cement in and old milk can and has more problems with cars hitting their box than baseball bats! Trust me, the milk can does a lot more damage than a ball bat!

Cow tipping is honestly walking up to a cow and tipping it over. Some idiots think cows sleep standing up and are in a trans that would allow you to "sneak" up on an almost 2 ton animal and push it over!!! Lots of beer is often involved too...shocker! I grew-up on a cattle farm and have helped my Dad but can honestly say I have not been close enough to a cow to even think about doing something like that! Besides, my dad and my uncles would have killed us!

My sweet little 4 yr old has had to be with me at school everyday for the last week and half. She has been such a trooper! Not to mention all the friends she is making in the teachers! SHE could run for PTO Pres!

KInda like a snipe hunt

Dont know the Rx for cow tippin (dont even know what that IS, not sure i WANT to know) but for mailbox baseball, the Rx is this : get a PO Box. One nice 'side effect' is, you get less, or zero, junk mail.

Or, put a camera out there, and send the video to the kids' parents, or the local TV station, if youre a small town. LOL.

Had our "workday" today. Very cool. I told the hostess 6 folks said they were coming but since I said in the email "if you can help comeon" like a million showed up (okay only 15 but still!!!!). We got all our welcome packets stuffed and have the cutest little welcome backs and welcome tos for the teachers for our welcome back "picnic" on Friday. They are little burlap bags with iron on patches and writing "you put the T in PTO" and Welcome back or welcome to our school and then we stuffed them with encouraging stamps for them to use for their classrooms. We put a little tag with a poem (yes I wrote it) and then got the staff each 3 dollar cone tickets to the local ice cream place--changed the poem slightly.

CC-I think I'm a closet bulletin board person so let me know.

Woo Hoo--they started digging today in our quad to put in the outdoor classroom we raised money for last year (12.5k worth of landscaping and reworking...but it's gonna be FABULOUS....

Anyway-pumped and TIRED--open house tomorrow....
PTOCES--glad all is going so very well!!!! You should be very proud of yourself!!!
