Tinkerbell and Chuck

and now Suzanne has something to say about Chickadee :: Dandy :: holidays :: quotables

That is who the kids are going to be for Halloween. I got the Tinkerbell part, but who is Chuck?

Ah.

Chuck, our uncle with the prosthetic hook. So I asked the kids if Chuck has any other names. Oh yes!

Captain Chuck.

Shelby said...: Heehee, I love the creativity! Of course next to Tinkerbell, your Chuck is going to have to correct everyone--"I'm Uncle Chuck, not Captain Hook!" Reminds me of the time when my friend's son was in the midst of an obsession with Presidents and insisted on dressing as William Henry Harrison. My poor friend spent a month saying, "Are you sure you don't want to be Lincoln? Or Washington?" Naturally he insisted, and then spent the entire night giving everyone at every house a mini-lecture on the 9th President--haha. I can still remember his little voice, "I was the first President to die in office!"; September 14, 2008 at 7:21 PM

me! me! me!

Here I chatter about books, parenting, election 2008, recipes, teaching college writing, and the adventures of getting settled in with our two freshly (Fall 06) adopted school-age children from Russia. This blog is chapter two; chapter one is posted at Jamie & Suzanne go to Russia. I live in the City of Subdued Excitement, Cascadia, Land of the Free.

I am the wife of a man I call My Gift from a Generous God. I am mama to two lovely children, Dandy and Chickadee that became ours in September 2006 in a court-room in Siberia. I am the daughter of two people whom I love and admire. One of them, my dad, is a new (Dec 06) paraplegic.

In my previous life (B.C. - before children), I was a college English teacher, specializing in composition and ESL composition.
