Sloan has student council elections tomorrow and she and I were talking about it in the car on the way home today and she was telling me they had to give speeches and come up with campaign slogans. I thought her friend Nick's slogan was the best!
Vote for Nick because I have a mustache!
Gotta love 6th graders!
This image is floating around on the internet and I had to post it. I know its not very politically correct but it's still pretty funny!
I wanted to share a poem Sloan entered for the Irvington Halloween Festival poetry contest. I know I'm her mom but I think its pretty darn good!
It's Halloween night,
Are you ready for a fright?
Ghost and ghouls roam the street,
leaves rustling beneath their feet.
Witches and monsters cackle and growl,
hear the eerie night owl?
The kids howl, shout, and greet,
waiting for their Halloween treat!
Those kids don't worry about those things in the dark.
For they are not real, those things in the park.
Or are they??
Happy Halloween!
Sloan had an awesome time at Shakamak and talked about a mile a minute when she got home yesterday. It was her grade that came up with the theme "The 80's" and of course it was the best year ever!!! Unfortunately Sloan came home with more then just good memories, she also came back with a nasty cough and a cold.
Here is a photo of all the girls that were painted and I have to admit it turned out pretty darn cute!
We finished up Sloan's costume for Shakamak today. I won't even talk about how much more expensive it is to dress 80's in 2009 ! I think her costume turned out awesome and she loves it. She told me she doesn't think she'll be able to sleep tonight because she's so excited for this weekend!
I can't wait until she comes home on Sunday to let me know how the trip went!
Sloan's getting ready to go to Camp Shakamak this weekend and her grade is hosting the weekend. They picked an '80's theme and are calling it Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
The girls will be dressing and dancing to the music of the '80's and will try and guess whose mom is who by looking at their mom's 80's photograph, painting pet rocks and having a fashion show and having a MTV or Shak TV talent show!
This is one of the girls we painted for the weekend. There are 5 of them and someone else is going to paint the signs the girls are holding and the will say, Girls Just Want To Have Fun and will be placed in front of the camp entrance so everyone can see them when they drive in.
Our girl is a "bigger" girl but you gotta admit she's totally tubular!! I hope Sloan has a great weekend!
