A Very Hungry Caterpillar and Handlebars

One of the reasons why I enjoy teaching elementary school is because I so often get to be a kid again! It was Book Week at school and on Friday we got to dress up as one of our favorite characters from a book. I decided to go as the Very Hungry Caterpillar, from the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. I got to wear sweats all day! It was fabulous.

I'm not sure what character the person on the far left is. Then there is me in the green. Remember in the book where the caterpillar eats through all the fruit and leaves a hole in the middle, I tried to recreate that by putting large paper fruits around my waist. Next is Professor Trewlaney from Harry Potter, Waldo from Where's Waldo, and my friend Lauren on the end is Skippy Jon Jones. It was fun to be a kid again for the day.

Mike is in STUDY MODE. Which means he is inside all day, in our basement, studying like crazy, for his second round of BOARDS. This is a huge test for Mike. He has been so dedicated to studying and preparing for this killer test, I'm so proud of him. But because he doesn't leave the house for most of the day, he gets to be a little loopy by the end of the day. When I got home from work on Friday this is that I can home to:

How did I ever get so lucky?
