I'm glad that our year at a glance gave you a chuckle, it's quite a dog and pony show!;)IN the kitchen with the squirrels!!??I didn't think "Back To School Night" would ever be an unfamiliar prase, that is so funny... but "at a glance" THAT had me laughing...
Alright all, I am headed to bed... this mega Disney planning over the weekend wiped me out!
The rest of it too! 
That is insane! Well tell him to hang in there! Maybe it is regional! Anyhoo, glad to know I wasn't the only one familiar with that acronym-eduspeak!
They were adorable but were just taking too much care. They won't be ready for release for another 7 weeks!Back after a long weekend....
Your babies are just too cute...I wish I could take them---I have a huge backyard and they could have all new squirrel friends.
You will love soaking it all up! It's wonderful.....
They went last night, and yes we do miss them! The lady that took them told me that we had done a great job with them. They were so fat and alert!
Now that would be some real luck!
It's not going anywhere, take your time and don't lose any sleep over it.....
I really like the idea of having a watermelon social and not letting anyone inside the building!Yes, I took them to the squirrel lady last night. It was time. Marc told me that when he was feeding Skippyjane at lunch she had run up his arm and over the top of his head. She was a wild thing while Skippyjon what quite laid back.Did the squirrels leave your beautiful kitchen? I'm still a little amazed that you took them in, I know I couldn't have done it. They are cute but still rodents in my mind
They were cute little rodents that were too sweet to not try and save.... If the same thing happened again, we would repeat it in a heartbeat.
Happydog, I knew exactly what you meant by BTSN...perhaps it's a regional thing? My kids (elementary age) always have it on the night before school starts. My hubby (high school teacher) has it coming up next week. He is all pissy and confused about the plans this year. In the past they had rotation times where parents walked their child's schedule and met with teachers, were able to ask questions, etc. He says this year they are having a "watermelon social" where parents are going to show up and everyone will mingle on the front lawn and teachers will have syllabi available if parents want them. I think if I were a parent, I would be ticked off if I showed up and all the teachers were "mingling" on the lawn. How exactly are they supposed to know who their child's teachers are? Greg said kids will be available to give tours of the building but as he points out, if he is outside, his door will be locked so exactly what will the parents see? "And this is the door to Mr. Schafer's classroom..." YEAH, great plan administrators!
A WHATAWATERMELON SOCIAL??!! GOOD grief. Fire that principal!!!
You all certainly had me with that one!
I think they should have a watermelon carving contest....
and a seed spitting contest!
My middle schoolers would love to have a watermelon seed spitting contest!
My second graders are missing so many teeth they could spit them with their teeth clenched!
Have you had any come up to you with their teeth in their hands yet? Both of mine always seem to lose theirs at school.

That's too funny! They're probably afraid "those" parents won't come if they think it will take longer than the McD's drive thru!Did the squirrels leave your beautiful kitchen?

I was thinking they might as well have a seed spitting contest!
