This afternoon I drove B to church right after school. He's headed to Pilgrim Park with his confirmation class for a confirmation weekend. He'll be there until Sunday morning. It's his first time at Pilgrim Park and although he thinks confirmation class is boring, I'm hoping he has a good time at camp.
Last night on our way home from the museum, L called my cell phone to ask if she could color on a white shirt that's too small for her. The Irving Fun Fair is Saturday and she wanted to make a shirt supporting the "New Beats." It's a team of eight female teachers who are new to Irving this year (or last) and they're competing against a group of men teachers ("Frankie D. (the custodian) and The Cuyler Street Boys") to see which team gets a pie in the face at the end of the Fun Fair. The team that raises the most money wins the pie in the face. Kids have been filling jars with change and bills all week. The money will be counted tomorrow afternoon. The teams also compete for a trophy by doing a dance. The kids love it. Last year, the women's team won the dance trophy, but not the pie in the face. For some reason, L said, the women want both this year. They really want to get hit in the face with a pie. Why? I don't know. When the women teachers saw her shirt at school today, they took pictures of her and are planning of taking a picture of her with all the New Beats after the Fun Fair Saturday.
