Mmm ... Dark chocolate is good (I've heard).

Mom came home with two dozen little bars an' a GIANT sized one, too! Oh, an' Mom was right about all of the "sneaking" ... Her four garbage cans were sprinkled with all kinds of treat wrappers an' sticks. Those ninth graders think that they're so sly ...

Thursday Thirteen #42: The Morning After ...

As you know, Mom is a high school teacher an’ she teaches ninth graders. Many of them dressed up in their costumes for school yesterday an’ Mom “treated” them with handmade vanilla pops in the shape of mummies, ghosts, an’ pumpkins.

Although they got to eat candy yesterday, Mom has strict class rules about eatin’ ... DON’T DO IT!

You an’ I know that those wily ninth graders aren’t gonna follow the rules an’ they’re gonna sneak treats when they think that Mom’s not lookin’ ... Little do they know that Mom’s got super-sonic hearing an’ eyes in the back of her head ... They’re gonna get caught, so my TT this week is ...

Thirteen Candies Mom’s Students Will Be Sneakin’ During Classtime

1. Snickers mini-size candy bars
2. Charms Blo-Pops with the sticks bitten off ... The gum cracking gives them away efurry time!
3. Kit-Kat
4. Tootsie Pops with the sticks bitten off
5. Milky Way/Three Musketeers mini-size candy bars
6. Hershey’s Kisses
7. M & Ms with peanuts (Mom can smell a peanut from a mile away)
8. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (see #7)
9. Atomic Warheads (the crossed eyes an’ screwed up faces alert Mom to this candy)
10. Gum (especially the fruit-flavored types ... the smell’s a dead giveaway an’ kids can’t seem to chew without looking bovine)
11. Candy Korn ... Why do ‘beans like this candy anyway?
12. Jolly Ranchers (fruit smell, anyone?)
13. Mr. Goodbar/Crackle/Hershey’s w/ or w/o Almonds mini bars


Mom did offer some extra points to any student who brought her favorite candy on November 1st ... an’ a bunch of kids were REALLY interested! I wonder how many tiny bars of Hershey’s Special Dark she’ll be bringing home? Anyone wanna venture a guess?

Thank you, Zoey an' the Furballs an' Cha-Ching!

Before the witching hour passes on another Hallowe'en, we'd like to say "thank you" to Zoey an' the Furballs an' Cha-Ching's momma for makin' us this beautiful pumpkin quilt. It's been on the back of the recliner chair since Mom came back from her vacation. It's done in little squares an' it's furry excellent!
