Pajama Day!!!!!!
Today was Pajama Day at our school and I was so super excited since I have never been a part of one before. I was so elated to don my favorite Hello Kitty Onesie in public that I didn't even wait until I got to work and proudly sported my ensemble on the NYC subway system. New Yorkers are so cool that even though I got a few sideways glances, everyone tried to act like a grown woman in a onesie and a Cookie Monster hat with a purple spotted frog around her neck was the norm. Being a native New Yorker myself, I calmly read my AM newspaper, as if this were my everyday gear.
I was all geared up to break all the normal classroom routines, only to find out that today we were receiving a visit from the Department of Health. I was crushed! I tried to imagine myself in a professional meeting with my pigtails and pajamas and it made me cringe.
Imagine my relief when our consultant walked in, smiled and said "Oh, it's pajama day? How nice", never even batting an eye. She must be a native New Yorker also. Gotta love my hometown!
Oh my goodness a visit for the Dept' of Health is quite stressful and PJ day is of course the day they come!!!!! I shouted you out on my blog today so I am hoping it brings you some traffic and a few followers! Have a great week and keep up the wonderful work you are doing with the "Littles"

Thank you so much! I just read your blog and I am smiling from ear to ear and dancing! What a great way to start a Friday morning! If I had been able to get my pajama day picture up (I haven't figured out how to rotate the pictures yet), you would have seen the big beautiful snowflakes hanging in the background that I made after reading your "Snowflake" blog. Thank you so much for the shout out and all of the wonderful ideas!
DeleteI just found you through Katie and am so excited I did :) your blog is adorable and your story is cracking me up! I love pajama day. We wore pajamas on polar express day and I had on a sock monkey onesie and totally rocked it haha thankfully we had no visitors that day, as we were all jacked up on hot chocolate and candy and I don't think it would have went very well! At least they went with the flow :) only teachers can get away with that stuff, one of the perks of the job! Happy to be a new follower girly!
ReplyDeleteYay! A new follower! Welcome Khrys! This Friday just keeps getting better! I just came over from your Keepin' It Kool in Kindergarten Blog and entered your Giveaway. I really hope I win, but even if I don't :-( , I will definitely be picking up lots of goodies from your TPT store. You have so much great stuff!
DeleteRachel are you using windows live writer? It seems to me every computer has it. You can find it in your search menu. Just type in windows live writer. It will ask to connect to your blog. You enter in blog URL, and your password, and then you are set. Here is the deal, it functions much like a word document. So you can right click pictures on your camera card preview (copy them) and then right click in live writer (paste) and your picture appears. It will auto correct your picture orientation. You can add borders. You can drag the picture corner and make the picture any size you want. You can also choose any font that you have on you computer. This program saves you a ton of work! If you email me your photo, I'll put it up on my blog post for you :0). katieknight@sbcglobal.net Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am downloading Windows live writer now. Thanks so much for the tip!
