I rarely blog about anything political. OK, I've actually NEVER blogged about anything political. But the clip below was sent to me in an email by a friend, and I thought it was cool. I am sure the moderator didn't intend an answer such as this...but it also begs the question "WHY?" I don't think they are honestly interested in this man's personal belief system. I really only think they are trying to break down the "religious quacks" from the worlds "normal" standard.
Watch the clip, and let me know what you think about it....
Let me state, I am in no way pushing my opinion of this man as a good choice for president. I actually have never heard of him! It's just an interesting video clip...

FROM THE MOUTHS OF....BABES? Or really blunt 3 year olds!
At work, most of my day is spent sharing a bite of plastic fruit lovingly prepared for me by my students in the plastic kitchen playset of our classroom. I play along, because I know how hard they've slaved over this meal, and it will put a HUGE smile of pride on their sweet little faces. Well, imagine the smile on MY face after I had the following conversation with one of my students...we'll call her "Jane".
Jane: "Ms. Bawwett, herew you some food. Eat it!"
Me: "Oh, Thanks so much! How did you know I was so hungry?"
Jane: "EAT IT!"
Me: "OK...YUM!, Pizza is my favorite, and it goes so well with a piece of lettuce and....what is that? a cookie, or a doughnut?"
Jane looks carefully at the plate of scrumptious food she's brought to me.
Jane: "You bettur not eat that...YOU BE FAT!"
(INSERT BELLY LAUGHTER HERE...MINE NOT HERS!)
DIET ON!

To GirlScout, Or Not To GirlScout...
Seriously...we're talking to her about it. We've been having "sassy attitude" problems lately, and we've told her that this is something that she can EARN as a privelege if she get's her attitude in check and stops talking back, and start being a little more respectful. She's been working on it since Tuesday....yesterday was a good day (the other's not so much). We'll see how it goes. I really want her to do this, but I feel she needs to earn it, so hopefully this will be a little incentive.
I'M ROUTING FOR YA MEGAN!

Like I didn't know already...
This was kind of fun...a "Look A Like Meter" from this website helps determine who your child looks like -Mother or Father...
Well, it's really obvious in our family that the "Daddy DNA" is prominent! But it's still fun.
Check out the results...
Megan:
Ryan:
It's a TIE! They both look more like Dad...but only by 3% each! Haha, well, maybe I should upload some of Megan's "bald baby pictures"! Then it would be 100%!!

HALLOWEEN CAME AND WENT
Usually I spend weeks ahead of time getting costumes ready for the kids. This year, Halloween snuck up on me, and I was pressured to get things together...which means most things are picked over and you get what's left! Megan had decided early on that she wanted to be a kitty...which was pretty easy to do. Black shirt and leggings...buy the kitty ears and a tail and we're set! Ryan on the other hand, flip flopped daily about what he wanted to be. At first he wanted to be SuperMan again...but I talked him out of that one since that was his costume of choice last year (he called himself "pooperman"! It was so cute!). I figured if he wanted to go the "hero" route, he could be Batman this year, and since Megan wanted to be a kitty, we could call her "Cat Woman". So off to the costume store we went and when Ryan saw her kitty ears and tail, he decided then that he wanted to be a doggy. OK...much cheaper to do, since the Batman costume was going to cost me no less than $20! We found a headband with doggy ears and a doggy nose that hung down the front of his face which was perfect because I wouldn't have to paint a nose on his face and have him rub it all off during the day. I couldn't find a white sweat suit that would have matched better with the headband, so we reluctantly went with black. I cut out felt circles and me being the cheap person I am, I didn't want to ruin the sweat suit that he could definitely use later, so I only stitched the spots on with one little stitch. Yeah, I did that at midnight the night before Halloween, so therefore my brain was already sleeping and I didn't think about the fact that the felt was not going to stay put with one stitch in the middle. By the end of the day, his sad little spots were limp and falling off. Oh well...at least I didn't put too much money into his costume! He still thought he was a puppy, and even though Mommy wasn't very pleased with how his costume turned out...Ryan certainly was. I don't think Megan will want to be a kitty again...she got really tired of people stepping on her tail, or using it as a leash to guide her around. I will try to do a better job of planning ahead next year. I just didn't have it together this year with me working again.
So here are a few pics in the slide show below to show you how our Halloween turned out. Still memorable for everyone....
