The Los Angeles Angels

Los Angeles.  Do you know that song by X?  I really love that song a lot.  I know nothing about the Angels.  I don't think they're a good team because wouldn't I have heard more about them from time to time?  I do miss LA tho.  We used to go there frequently to visit Husbandman's parents.  Now we don't visit LA, but maybe some time we will again.

A posse of sixers came to see me today with balloons, chips, pop, and a cookie cake.  I completely forgot that I told them I would help them surprise their teacher with a little party today.  I asked them before spring break why they wanted to throw a party for their teacher and they talked about how much she had done for them. One little sixer said, "She cares about us."  So I said I would help and I really didn't have to do much.  A little bait and switch action.  Party went off without a hitch.

Today the kinders had a pancake party.  They had a banjo player and a fiddler in to play for them, and they ate pancakes with maple syrup.  I arrived late and everyone was leaving.  I grabbed a pancake and a kid in line said, "You should put maple syrup on that."
"I don't like maple syrup, pal."
"Dr. H., do you know that maple syrup is just the same as syrup?"
I assured the kid that I did know that.  I grabbed a cloth and started cleaning up the tables.

A pleasant day back from spring break, everyone talking about their adventures. A little preschooler called out to me from his van today, "Mrs. Dr. H., I had a great spring break!"
"What'd you do buddy?" I called back.
"Played video games all day long!"
His dad looked really embarrassed, but I reached in and gave him a high five, "That's what it's all about, man!"  I said, with a sort of hip swagger.  The dad laughed and the situation was no longer awkward.

Back in gear with the one of a kind Artful School Angels.  No place I'd rather be.
