Christmas shopping...

We've been busy getting ready for Christmas around here. Hubby did the watchdog day at school, we survived class parties. I had a hard time monkey's. Well, lack there of. It's not like elementary school anymore...sniff, sniff. He said there were no parties, so i believed him. Then in his non-chalant way, said well the teacher said we could bring some snacks or something. Excuse me, this is the morning as we walk out the door. Ugh, it killed me. Luckily i had gotten him a couple boxes of candy canes, but still.. Cookies on a cute plate, something?? Boys, they just don't care like girls do :( He had fun though, someone, with a girl i imagine, brought pizza :) Next year, i will be prepared!
Midget's party was a feast of winter delights, not Christmas, as it's public school :( But they had snowflake cupcakes, and pizza, chips and alot of candy. I was sad to see a good friend of midget's dad there with a new, much younger wife... ugh. That was heartbreaking to find out. She seemed nice, and was nice to her friend. So I hope they are all doing well. She had lots of fun at her party, and it was good we were all there for it.
Here are some pics of hubby being a watchdog. It was lots of work, more than he knew. I might have not mentioned how much on purpose...ssshhh. It made midgets whole year i think. He read to some classes in the library, helped a few kinder kids with their projects, worked at lunch, and helped the principal. Then we all met up for lunch with midget, and broke her out of school early. Fun day for her, but he was a little overwhelmed ;)
Oh, and his stylish vest, says "watch D.O.G.S." And it stands for Dads of Great Students. Sweet :)
This was her star of the week poster
