A new twist on Humpty Dumpty

Kiwi's 7th grade Youth Leadership class is doing a unit on budgeting/family management. She was given a fictional husband, job, income and was assigned to "purchase" a house, car, insurance, etc. As part of the assignment, she was to care for her two children (2 hard-boiled eggs) named Starlight and Sunshine ... no joke, she really gave them those names.
Okay, funny story (pardon me while I stray a little). I've told Tom for years that Kiwi would be the one to give us grandchildren named "Earth" and "Heaven", etc. The look on his face was priceless when he heard Starlight and Sunshine! He called them LiteBrite and MoonBeam for the rest of the day.
... back to Humpty Dumpty ... the assignment was that she take care of the eggs as she would her own babies. If anything happened, she would be expected to cover any medical treatment costs, and even funeral costs if necessary. She did an excellent job too, except her problem was her big brother! Two days after she brought them home, Teej sat on them while he was trying to wrestle with her. Kiwi was already paying for Sunshine's last visit to the ICU (Kiwi knocked her off the kitchen counter ... accidentally, of course). So, Teej bandaged Sunshine up, and made her a wheelchair. Funniest thing ever!
BTW, I'm so bad at this blogging stuff ... Happy Thanksgiving (2 days ago) everyone!

Happy Birthday, Tommy Boy ... party like a "Party Bro" should!

Happy Halloween!

This Halloween was a little weird this year. Teej was gone with the high school marching band to a football game against Broken Arrow (which, by the way we got slaughtered). LooLoo passed out candy to the trick-or-treaters, so neither one dressed in costumes. We had fun with those who did ... enjoy the pics!
