I was able to get a Cookie Monster costume at Ebay and i only paid $7 for it and that includes shipping. Mommy was pretty impressed with herself. It arrived on Thursday and Cori is loving it! She wanted to put it on right away and i nearly had to pay her money to get her to take it off for bed. I would post pictures but, oh yes, that is right, i still have not found the USB cable or my driver's licence! Where could she have put them?
Adam and i couldn't figure out why all week long Cori was calling us Bridget and Adam. Then we received the weekly notebook update from Cori's teacher on Friday and everything makes sense. The kids are studying what to do if they get lost or separated from their parents. In order for the police officer to help find their parents, the police officer needs to know more than Mommy and Daddy Haines. He/She needs to know a first name. So the kids have been practicing telling an adult who their parents are. Actually, it is a pretty great idea!
Next time you see Cori, ask her what to do if your shirt is on fire! You will get to see a pretty vigorous "Stop! Drop! and Roll!" demonstration. The kids are also learning fire safety and we have to have a Fire Escape Plan and teach it to Cori.
I did ask Cori's teacher about the "Bear on the Playground Drill." My niece in Alaska had to learn this drill at her school and i wondered if Cori's school had a similar drill and game plan. Cori's teacher didn't miss a beat and stated that the plan was to run faster than the guy next to you! Which doesn't bode well for Cori as she is the youngest, the shortest, and has the shortest legs of anyone in the class. She is pretty quick however! Or maybe a bear wouldn't want to bother with such a small snack! Boy, this paragraph took a wrong turn in a hurry!
Lastly, Cori has let it be known that Burger King makes better lunch than Mommy. While this is a blow to Mommy's ego, she understands. Mommy doesn't have a paper crown that she serves with lunch, there is no toy at the end of the meal and Mommy's lunch contains all of the USDA food groups instead of sodium, starch and fat. It's a rough life kid, get used to it!

Good thing that teacher doesn't live/work in AK.... the LAST thing you want to do around a bear is RUN. Don't you know how they like to chase?
I can't wait to see Miss Cori next summer. We booked the tix... we're coming!!! YAY!!!!
Jenni, i am pretty sure the teacher was making a joke. Running faster than the guy next to you would make sure he was eaten and you weren't!! :)
