What a title huh?
It all goes together, so what can it be that involves all of those things?
Got any ideas?
No?
It's the dreaded 'class assembly'........(insert Jaws theme tune here)
Doodles: Mum, I'm going to be a Greek soldier in my class assembly!!
Mum: Cool! Do you have any lines?
Doodles: Yes!
Mum: What do you wear?
Doodles: Shorts
Mum: What are you lines?
Doodles: It's a surprise!
Mum: Do you need anything?
Doodles: A sword!
Mum: Okay
Doodles: Oh, and a spear.
Mum: mmmmmmmhhmmm
Doodles: Can I have a snack?
Mum: Get an apple or some other fruit.
Doodles: Heads to kitchen.....
Yelling from kitchen.....

Mum: *rolls eyes*
Doodles: mumbling around food in mouth *need helmet*

Next Day (Saturday)
Doodles: Mum, What are we going to do for my costume?
Mum: What costume?
Doodles: For my class assembly Thursday *with a definite 'duh' tone*
Mum: your sword, helmet and spear?
Doodles: yeah, and the armor and cape they wear.
Mum: What armor and cape they wear? You didn't TELL me you needed that.
********************************************
2 hours later
Doodles: Dad! Did mum tell you I'm a Greek soldier and get to wear a FULL Greek soldier costume? Mum is going to do it.
Mum: What?!??
Dad: Didn't you know?
Mum: NO! He just told me a helmet, spear and sword.
Mum: *going online to see photo of Greek soldier and what they wear* Oh sheeeesh, I gotta do that? Sam!!! You have to tell me these things sooner! When is it due?
Doodles: The class assembly is Thursday.
Mum: *talking to dad* I'll go Monday to the hobby place and get stuff to make it, that will give me 3 days to make it.

Sunday
Doodle: Mum, will you have it ready by Tuesday morning?
Mum: What?!??
Doodle: It has to be in by Tuesday morning!!
Mum: *looking at dad* And we had another child, for what reason?!?
Yep, he's done it again! Getting information out of that child is like a leaky faucet.....
take time to get small drips of info from him......
Takes time, a drip at a time.....
Is as annoying as all get out!!!!!!
So, ran to Coventry to the hobby place, picked up some brown felt (for leather looking breast plate....
Gold felt (for gold leg armor)
Tan felt (for contrast leather on skirt portion of armor)
LARGE red felt(for spartan cloak)
Gold chain and stone looking decorations (for above mentioned cloak)
Gold mask (to cut apart for hop lite helmet)
Glue
and HUGE bottle of aspirin!!!!!! (not really, took heavier stuff than that!!! lol)
Spent the afternoon cutting and glueing.
Actually have tunic part of the breast plate done.
Gotta love 'em!! lol
So far the week has gone good WW wise. Been under points most days, but that's not unusual on bad fibro days.
My short hair has been great! So much cooler than my long hair was!!
Well, guess I better head to bed, tomorrow will be filled with images of Greek soldiers in short skirts. lol
