A Very Naughty Little Leprechaun

By -

Did you know that my name, Erin, means girl from Ireland? Well is does! I do have some ancestors from there, so I guess it is sort of true. I know I would like go visit there for sure. My brother is living there right now, and I'm super jealous! I can't wait for an e-mail on Monday with news of the celebrations they had, plus pictures.


At my school today we had a pesky leprechaun come visit our class (ME!). All the kids made traps to try and catch him. After lunch, they set all the traps out complete with ever thing from green grapes, to mangos, and even real money as bait. When they left, I began my work. I sprung all their traps, taking all the bait and moving them about the room. Then I took paint and made foot prints all over our tables and the traps, oh! and up the mirror. I put green food coloring in the toilets then turned all the chairs upside down, threw the pillows every where, knocked over the book shelf and basically demolished the classroom.....I think I had a little too much fun!


I was so excited for the kids to come back in and see what the leprechaun had done. I imagined laughing, giggling, happy children, I was wrong. They opened the door, and came rushing in. We all were aghast with our room. Then on kid yells "He stole my candy!" (the bait for the trap) and bursts into tears. Another was upset that their trap was knocked over and had green foot prints on it. Another was crying because the leprechaun drew a smiley face on his tupper ware lid. One kid couldn't find his trap (because I moved it to the other side of the room) and had a melt down. Others were mad the leprechaun had "peed" in the toilet. I was trying so hard not to bust a gut! But I felt so bad laughing when they were all so distraught. Luckily, the little fairy left them some gold coins. It took us a good half hour to clean up, and finally every thing was right again. Although, my twin boys told me they hope they can catch that "mean little guy" so they can kill him! Oh my, such strong feelings! Maybe next year I won't be as creative. Still, it was so funny!


My super talented sister-in-law, McKenzie, came to do some traditional Irish dancing for the school. I took some video to share with you all! Enjoy!



Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

We are moving to Australia!

We are moving to Australia.  Or at least that is what Porter thought for about 5 minutes.  Just kidding. April Fool's!!! I had an idea this afternoon about how to prank Porter.  I usually pull off pretty good stuff.  However, Porter expects it of me, so I have to get other people involved.  So I emailed his awesome boss, and asked if he would tell Porter that the company needed him to move to Australia in June.  He said he was in!  So I waited.... We went to dinner, and Porter said he had to make a call to his boss really quick.  I was only too happy to oblige.  While on the phone the conversation went perfectly.  They talked about some accounts in APAC and how well they were going.  The conversation shifted.  Then Porter stopped talking and this was the look on his face. I feel like I can see the thoughts about doing another international move in such a short time flitting across his face.  Keep in mind, we've just gotten settled here in London.   Now it&#

Ugly Dance Party 1 Ugly Dance Party 2 Have you ever wondered what goes on backstage during a show??? What are those actors up to while you, the patron are out in the lobby grabbing snacks, visiting the lou, or striking up conversation about your feelings toward the show? Well, today is your lucky day! I bring you an up close and personal look into the GREEN ROOM dun, dun, DUN! Some activities these Hairspray actors participate in: Ugly dance competition guitar playing casual conversation eating taking pictures knitting And generally, just having a grand ol' time The Green Room is a blast, so is the dressing room, although I don't bring you footage of that.

Impromptu Photos Shoots and Leg Hangs

 I shot a wedding the other day and rented a great lens for it.  Because I didn't want said awesome lens to go to waste I made Porter come out for an impromptu photo shoot with me last Sunday.  We went up to Westminster College campus and took these.  I think they turned out pretty well considering I set up the shot and took the pics via remote (a fabulous christmas present from the hubster ).  Porter really likes candid shots instead of posed ones.  So I try to set up moments where we can be in a nice position to have a candid moment, wink, wink.  It's not posing, I promise.  At least he believes it's not, so that is a win! The snow made it so bright.  After this picture I think we were both a little snow blind.  In other pole dancing news: I can finally do leg hangs!  I went to a class the other night with a fabulous teacher and ended up having a private session.  Classes where I am the only one scare me because all the attention is on you, which a wonderfu
