Puppy Fashion Amongst the Northern Lights

It's Minnie wearing a Minnie Mouse dress!  I can't wait for her Minnie Mouse ears to come in the mail.

 

And here's Mickey the Chunky Monkey, he has Mickey ears

 coming in the mail as well.

    My puppies have gotten so BIG!  In fact Mickey is officially 3.5 lbs overweight at a hefty 21.5 lbs versus the 18 lbs max he should be.  Minnie on the other hand is a slim 13 lbs which is why their nick-names are Chunky Monkey and Skinny Minnie.  As you can see they are looking utterly fabulous in their new doggies clothes.  So fabulous in fact I've already ordered more.  I had to buy Mickey a larger sweater, this one was a little too snug but it doesn't stop him from looking absolutely adorable in it.  He also needs a larger snowsuit as he can hardly move in his he's so pudgy but when I went to look I found that his is already the LARGEST size!  Oh MY!  Well so far they're fine going out with just a leash and collar despite me needing 2 coats, snow pants and a face mask on just to walk to school.  Minnie in the mean time is waiting on her fabulous new red coat and 5 more dresses to add to the 3 she already has.  Soon enough I'll have the most fashionable dogs on the Slope.

    

A Pasta Dyed Thanksgiving!

        I understand that I have been neglecting my blog.  I wanted to upload videos of my classroom but poor internet bandwidth seems to inhibit that at my residence and thus allocate that as a solely "once in the school activity."  Obviously one would be able to tell once watching the videos why I suddenly forget to do that at school as I'm far too busy constantly decorating and improving my classroom.

I have been busy creating a Hungry Caterpillar section for my classroom.  Thank you to all the parents who donated Pringles cans!  I can't wait to turn them into Hungry Caterpillar jars and allow the students to feed them with green bottle caps depicting foods the Hungry Caterpillar likes to eat.  Yuuummm...did someone say munchies?

 

As you can see pasta dying for Thanksgiving crafts is no mess-free activity.  

 

Thanks to everyone who donated pasta and hand sanitizer.  I can see I should have plenty of pasta for the rest of the year.  

 

A Thanksgiving craft already complete, ready for a few more?  That reminds me, I hope those coasters arrive in time.

 

And of course, what would Thanksgiving be without a Thanksgiving poem to go along with it?
