Happy Halloween!

Not all Halloween shirts are appropriate for teaching middle school. This one helped me teach body parts a little better than I hoped last year.

An Amazing Acomplishment

Question of the Week

A student from school came walking out of the boy's bathroom while I was walking down the hall the other day.
"Miss Enge, I have a problem, " he said as he stuck out his razzberry-blue colored tongue.
I queried, "You've been eating blue candy?"
"No. My pen exploded in my mouth. Will I die?"

DMN Weekly Favorite

I saw this Sunday a week ago and have been meaning to comment on it since. This is an amazing phenomenon in a society. It is still boggling my mind that it wasn't a hidden transition, and it was so accepted (at least how this article presents it).
Enjoy!

Finally

We DID buy a camera, but have been lax with sharing our shots from our past few months. We have been pretty busy and have had company and projects going on at our house.

In March, my sister-n-law, her mom and our niece came to visit. We went to the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens. In the second pictures, you might be missing the 7th monkey hiding behind Michele.

We went out to Colorado over Spring Break. Ryan's family always amazes me at their cohesiveness. Here is a part of the clan in our family outing to the 'zeum. We also got to meet our newest nephew and watch him learn to limbo...

We started a small tiling project in our laundry room. Notice the new tile, ceiling (no more popcorn!), baseboards, and color! We also redid our downstairs bathroom. We like it.

Summer

But only for one day and only for me. I had the perfect summer day, sleeping in, going to lunch with friends, napping and reading through an afternoon thunderstorm.
Staff development for summer school is tomorrow, so my rest is short-lived.
What is your perfect summer day?
