Is it wrong that I
when you said you forgot the battery? Probably, but it was still pretty darn funny and so something you would do. You are right, glad you remembered the kids.
Those pictures are quite creepy but cool to see!
no it isn't... I was SO MAD at myself! So i will just have to go back.. without kids.
Oh Mo...I do that all the time with my camera...I'm constantly forgetting to put the battery back in.
You had a very nice day at least to go to the Museum. I can't remember the last time I went to the Field Museum; I prefer the Science one myself. That whole voodoo thing looks creepy.
What a goof! Can't believe i did that!!! This is what i get for rushing around!
I agree with you the science & industry is a better and way more fun museum. I have been here in FOREVER! just wanted to see the Voodoo and vikings! Voodoo was amazing!
Awww, thank you! 
I totally wish I could go!
it would be cool...
I wish I could go! I'll be there in October, though ... and gotta do the Mom thing 24/7/52/365 ... so we are doing good to squeak in this trip.
OH! Your going in October?!?! HOW FUN! eh the mom thing is way overrated..
I am so happy your back!
Only if I leave some for you after my October trip.
This is, in my opinion, the best dish on the menu! I can't wait to EAT IT ALL in October.
HA HA HA If they run out of pot roast you know you will hear from me! 
I'm looking forward to taking my mom to 50s PTC this year! We haven't had many shenanigans ourselves, outside of DD13 being forced to set the table and DH being forced to clean DD13's plate.
this is still FUNNY!!!! I might fall over from laughing too much here!!!
Man, I so wish I could join you guys! I'm super jelly. You'll just have to be constantly sending me selfies to make up for my lack of being there.
there will be thousands of pictures!!!!
You should!
Are you telling us that you have only ONE battery for your new Woobie??? 
No spare battery in your camera bag? I'm thinking it's gonna be an awful long time before you make that mistake again.....if ever! The one time I did that I was able to quickly buy a spare battery before missing a shot. Learned my lesson that time!
I am still mad at myself!!! I will not do it again... EVER. I did remember the dang CF and SD cards. The Museum doesn't sell batteries. otherwise i would have bought one!!! I just need to go back.
It was quite magnanimous of Zack to share one of your cameras with you!
Well put.
Good for you on taking the kids on a field trip. My was a teacher in the 'burbs and she took the kids (4th grade) on a field trip every year.
I felt bad for them the 4th grade is one of the largest classes also has the most children with ADD-ADHD-LD.. Does not excuse them from not going on any field trips. just sad. I have no problem taking the kids out!!
Following along and enjoying! I am the Queen of forgetfulness. IF I do remember the battery I will have forgotten to charge it before we go somewhere. I know of at least 2 cruises where we are pulling away from the dock and I am all excited and pull my camera out - zzzzzzztttttt - no charge. I blame mine on old age.
Howdy! glad you made it over and caught up! not that there is a lot going on yet...
This will be my moron moment of the month.. I do have to buy a new charging cable for my olympus. It has gone missing AGAIN!
The voodoo pics are definitely on this side of creepy. There was a Michael Douglas movie a long, long time ago with lots of voodoo; it freaked me out. I like how the school responded so enthusiastically to your considerate email. Sometimes the kiddos need a break now and then. Does the school make them do assignments when they are gone from school and at WDW?
Oh it is very creepy and interesting. Funny you mention Michael Douglas! I will be mentioning him soon! Ugh this school.. Nope not a word from them I do hope the next teacher will ask for something...
Hope warmer weather will continue! Have a great weekend!
Today is supposed to get up to 60!!!

Ok. this girl drama is already starting... and outrageous THEY. ARE. 10.
Long story short.
Meg is a friendly kid she likes to be friends with everyone. I will also say YES at 10 years old they still believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny. I will not be the one to ruin this. ever.
Meghan has been friends with this girl since kindergarten. Briella who has a twin sister Briana. Briella isn't very open to Meghan talking to other girls. and want Meg to herself.
The two B's do not get along with another girl Athena. Meg on the other hand does and will talk/play with the athena girl. Briella does not like the fact Meg is talking to the other girl made my Meghan upset
My advice to Meg was If YOU want to talk and play with her then you go ahead and do it. Don't be a follower and don't let them bully you.
Meg goes back to school and tell Briella I want to be friends with her and i can talk to whoever i want.
which Briella then turned her back and now has a few other girls talking about my Meg. It also involves some sort of social media- my kids are NOT on social media. Need i remind you THEY. ARE. 10
THE MOTHER of these two girls just sent me the most absurd text about all this. First off. i do not get involved with drama nonsense, i will give my children advice and hope for the best. Meghan does NOT want to be involved, yet this grown woman is ALL OVER THIS.
I explained to her i have a few things going on. I won't have a conversation in text messaging and will call her later as my Meghan is coming home very upset because of all this B.S.
Come on....
I know you will all be at the edge of your seats to see how this soap opera of 10 years olds' will play out. IF i do need to get involved it will not be a pretty sight. hate having to tell grown adults how to NOT live threw their kids.
I only teach Preschoolers and even some of those girls are already bringing on the drama. "You can't sit with us because your shoes don't light up." "We don't like your ponytail." Gaaahhh!! I just shake my head and try my best to encourage them to all be friends and take care of one another. This will be really tough for her but she will come through stronger because you are supporting her--parents sometimes make all the difference even when the situation is happening at school.
