Half Day Fun

Each Month, our School District schedules one"PDD"

(Professional Development Day) This is a fancy word for

Half Day, or, in my opinion, messing up every one's routine.

The Elementary and Middle Schools are dismissed at the half

day...however, get this genius plan...On the same day,

The High Schools have Late Arrival. It is sort of a Half Day

in reverse. The entire town is just out of sorts on these days.

It just messes up everything. Don't get me wrong, I love

having my children for an extra afternoon, I just don't like

the break in the routine for the entire County.

Since I can't change this PDD Policy, I just roll with it...

Today We Went To The Pumpkin Patch!

We met our friends at The Pumpkin Patch. Thank goodness

because Megan needed Taylor's help carrying her

Prized Pumpkin.

Every year, we buy our Pumpkins from St Peters, where

both girls attended Pre School. It is fun for them to go inside

and visit Staff and former Teachers.

Here in the tropics, we don't carve our pumpkins until
the day before Halloween. They would rot and be stinky,
stinky (I only had to try it once to find out)
Happy Pumpkin Hunting and Decorating!
