New Bed!

I have a new bed!  A new bed to me at least!  The twin bed has been moved out and I upgraded to a double!  Thanks to all those who helped move beds in and out of my room!

Quelf

You might be asking yourself what in the world is Quelf?  Quelf is a crazy board game.  I bought it for a housemate of mine for Christmas and we have played it a few times since then.  Last night's game was epic!  I had a tie on.  My housemate was dressed with toilet paper to look like a mummy.  She also had a pretend snorkel and wasn't allowed to bend her knees or elbows.  My brother was forced to build a fort and stay in it for a certain amount of time.   While many other crazy things happened during the course of the game what made it epic was the ultimate magic trick.  The trick was gravity defying until the upside down glass filled with water pushed back on the piece of cardboard holding it all together.  The water of course drenched the cards, the board game, the hardwood floor, the wood table, the chairs and of course the humans.

I love Kindergarten!

This is why I love Kindergarten. What started as helping two students put on their dramatic play costumes turned into an entire class ballet project!  The two girls asked for ballet music to practice.  I put on the Nutcracker music.  Two other students thought that they should set up chairs.  They put all the stuffed animals on the chairs to watch.  A few other students thought it would be fun to be in the audience.  Then all of a sudden there were Kindergartners making tickets, serving food to the audience, collecting tickets, making the ticket box and a decision that we should make gingerbread men out of play dough to serve to our pretend audience.  We didn't get all of the elements together to have a our ballet show today.  They would like to continue this play during centre time tomorrow.  They only have a few requests for me.  They wanted to know if I could go buy them ballet shoes, some more skirts, make a stage and find more ballet music. What a great morning!

New Recipe!

I made stuffed peppers for dinner tonight!  I have been meaning to try them for awhile now but I just never got around to them!  Hopefully they taste great!?
