Good timing
Months ago I thought we couldn't possibly get sick anymore this year. I guess I was wrong....the kids now both have chicken pox. I can't believe it!!! They had the immunization, but knowing our luck that didn't stop them from getting them anyway! Being as next week is the last week of school, Briana is very upset about having to be out of school for several days! Looking on the bright side though, we are leaving for Disneyland next weekend so it's better for them to have it now than next week!! Could you imagine!? Sorry kids, no Disneyland, you have to stay home sick with the chicken pox -- yeah I don't think so!!!!
In other news, I survived 5th Grade Camp!!! Almost two weeks ago now we took all 60 +/- 5th graders down to Fort Bragg. We stayed at Van Damme State Park (a beautiful place to camp if anyone's interested!!) and visited Glass Beach. It was great fun, and I even tried abalone for the first time. One of my students went abalone diving with his dad and not only fixed it up for all of the kids Thursday night, but also went out again Friday morning and sent each of us teachers home with our own!!! I cooked it up for the family Saturday and it turned out mighty good if I do say so myself!! I'd love to go back again, but this time with about 58 less kids!!
And.....you'll never believe this, but while I was gone, yes, the chicks got wiped out again! Thank goodness it wasn't on my watch this time!!!! So, we're now on our third batch! I told Bret we should take the hint and realize we shouldn't try raising chickens. I think the dogs are starting to think we replaced their normal dog food with chicks! Yikes!
Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend. We sure did with all kinds of fun parties and BBQs going on. Unfortunately we probably exposed people left and right! Whoops! ; )
