Friday's Tattler

If I were any further behind, I'd have to go to the previous century for time out.

Friday was a wonderful day. We all came in our new hoodies and we looked fetching. The kids ate a little breakfast together and then we headed out for Dr. Miller's office up on Robin Hill Road in Newburgh. The children were exceptionally well behaved. They answered all the questions and asked a boat load of their own. Emma, our school president was gracious and led our line. She went up the the dental assistant and introduced herself as, "Hi, I'm Emma. I'm the Garden School President," and then she graciously offered her hand - no prompting mind you - and shook hands with the assistant and tour guide. I was not too proud ;-))))))))))))))))))))



We had a nice little show of dentistry and Emma got to sit in the chair and opened her mouth and the dentist said, "Emma, you look just wonderful in there."

We headed off to Pizza Hut for lunch. The rules being - you must eat your lunch before you play and every child ate but one who threw his on the floor. The kids had a lot of fun playing on what became known as the "hamster toy."

We came home to play practice, and the kids were just too tired, so we postponed this for Monday.

There is a lot of flu out there. India went home with a high fever; Jaylen never made it to school on Friday; Easton has had it; poor Nathan had a terrible case. Miss Elise went home sick and some of the other children were very drawn and quiet Friday afternoon. Please watch for vomiting. You know it is a very clever idea to sport an ice cream bucket with lid for your car. This ingenious little gadget is great for sudden pukes. It is disposible and the lid goes on quick. Might think about this right now!!!! The Garden School would be happy to take your bucket and eat the ice cream and then return the empty for your car. We'll even clean it!

This next week is a play practice week. Your child is earning Easter basket goodies every day he knows his lines, so please help him now. The sooner the children know their lines, the sooner we can play at this and camp it up.

The King and I was over their heads. They were good sports and watched it, but this is one movie that should have been previewed before we showed it. There was too much talk and not enough action. This week we will try Darby O'Gill. It's got some scary stuff, but it's charming and we think the kids will love it.

Onward and upward!
