You guys are awesome! So many great suggestions. Now, if I could just get y'all to come out here and make it happen...

Hah! I keed!

After my initial freakout, lots of other parents from both classes came forward offering to help. WHEW! Other responsible adults, willing to do my bidding.

I was all "Hi, you bring a game! Hi, you bring a snack! Hi, you bring a craft!"

I have an undiscovered talent for delegating, I think. Or maybe it is called passing the buck. Whatevah. I've got help, and I've got a bunch of great ideas from you guys, and I'm feeling less like a witch and more like... um... like... a room mother. Yeah, that's it.

Yesterday, I got the chance to hang out with the lovely Elaine. We had ourselves a grand old time at Orff Lessons, where she, her husband and their darling daughters rolled around on the floor and rocked out with sparkly maracas to accordian music. Good times, people. We leaped over mini-pumpkins. And we made our bodies into see-saws.

We also enjoyed a brief visit to the park for a picnic lunch before I had to dash off to fetch and deliver, fetch and deliver. I really had a wonderful time hanging out with them.

On a side note: They are really tall! I'm always surprised when people aren't the same size as me. Why is that? I'm well below average height, it's not unexpected that people would tower over my garden gnomesque frame.
