Date Night: Pies and Poetry

Will and I were invited to a night of Pies and Poetry at the Henry's house.  It was really fun, and there were no kids allowed so we had to get a babysitter for Max. 

Pies and Poetry consisted of friends reading poetry, singing songs, reading selections from their favorite books and the partaking of yummy pies.  It was a great idea for an adult date night.

Pies and Poetry was set up in the Henry's Garage with a lighted "stage" area, a mic, and bench to read your poetry from.  Will and I read from the book "Take me out of the Bathtub."  We got some good laughs,  which is exactly what we were going for.

Max had a fun night too, he was partying with two of my FAVORITE students of all time.  Josh Osmond and Brady Shields watched Max, ate pizza and wings, and of course there was Elmo.  Max and the boys sure had fun, and Will and I think we found the perfect babysitters.

 Josh and Brady are best friends and have been since I taught them in 6th grade.  They are now freshman in high school.  They are two amazing young men, and I am so glad that Max gets to hang out with them.  What great examples they are to him.

 As you can see Max didn't want anything to do with sitting on the couch for pictures.

 The picture below is my favorite!

 

Take Me Out of the Bathtub
(sung to Take Me Out to the Ball Game)

Take me out of the bathtub
Take me out of the suds
I've been here soaking since half past two
I feel so sudsy and wrinkle-y, too
Oh, I washed all over my body
My head, my toes, in between
I used one, two, three bars of soap
Take me out... I'm clean!

Take me out of the bathtub
I'm stuck here with my toys
Dump trucks and squirters I think are great
But I better take of my ro-o-ller skates
'Cause each time I get up I wobble
I hold on, but it's a pain
I tried once, twice, three times to stand
Better get a crane!
