A Yearly Event



Every year the teachers quake in their shoes waiting for the main event in the gym, to see once again what they will be put through. I must admit, it is fun! This year I was quaking a little more than usual. A big piece of plastic was put down to cover the gym floor (not a good sign), then we were given shoe covers (another bad sign), told to put our head through a garbage bag and make holes for our hands (I was thinking YIKES!! at this point...as if I was not already thinking that way), and then...we were given a shower cap (I almost lost it)!!! Once we were blindfolded, we were told that we needed to get all of the pumpkin goop from the pumpkin to the bowl. I thought...this will be fun and we were off. I thought I was doing pretty well and figured my "partner in crime" was doing the same. When I got to the bottom there were a few pieces left (by the way, it was fruit cocktail), I decided to tip up the pumpkin to try to slide the last few pieces into the bowl. I guess that was cheating (I must have missed the directions on that one). Oh well, it was fun!

Thanks to Jules for taking these pictures for me! It is rare that I have this yearly event on film:)

Oh, I have a few pictures of this joyous occasion as well. I am glad you had fun... and I'm really glad Karen asked for my help in coming up with an idea.
