its ok he will understand,anyways happy birthday son i love u

We had a campfire outside, and we roasted hot dogs, and made smores.
Afterwards, when it was dark, my husband blew off some fireworks.
Everyone had fun, and I think Ryan really enjoyed his day.
I know he was a pretty tired little boy, and fell asleep real quick after his bath.

Happy Birthday to a very special little boy.
Grandma and Grandpa loves you very, very much!

XOXO

Thank you Liz and Willow.
I will show him this tomorrow.
He's going to love it!
(((HUGS)))

Happy Birthday Ryan,
Heard you had a blast. Hope you have many more & we look forward to meeting you one day. Very Happy

Best of Wishes
From Bjorn, Cori, Fall Flower, & Redd

Here's some poetry and limericks for kids, and they are wrote by kids too!

Kenny Had a Camera

by Robert Pottle

Kenny had a camera and took pictures while we ate.
I thought it might be fun to use my food to decorate.
I grabbed a brown banana peel and used it for a wig,
dangled French fries from my nose and snorted like a pig.
I took some veggies from my tray and stuck them in my ears.
I knew that I looked funny ’cause the room soon filled with cheers.
But best at being funny was my teacher, I suppose,
’cause when she looked and laughed at me, milk came out her nose.

Battle Hymn of the Repulsive

by Michael Bowman

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(sing to the tune of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”)

Mine eyes have seen the kitchen,
which is why I bring my lunch.
I have smelled the things they’re cooking,
and they’re toxic, I’ve a hunch.
And the salads are so soggy that
you’ll never hear a crunch.
I bring my lunch to school!

Chorus
I can’t stand the food they serve me!
I can’t stand the food they serve me!
I can’t stand the food they serve me!
I bring my lunch to school!

They torture nose and taste buds
with both hamburger and spuds.
There are meatballs in a gravy that’s
like iridescent mud.
Mashed potatoes hit both tray and stomach
with a sick’ning thud.
I bring my lunch to school!

Chorus

It’s amazin’ when a raisin
starts to crawl across your cake;
that was when I first decided
the dessert was a mistake.
And I wouldn’t like to guess what’s
floating in that chocolate shake.
I bring my lunch to school!

Chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Food Fight

by Kenn Nesbitt

We’d never seen the teachers
in a state of such distress.
The principal was yelling
that the lunchroom was a mess.

It started off so innocent
when someone threw a bun,
but all the other kids decided
they should join the fun.

It instantly turned into
an enormous lunchroom feud,
as students started hurling
all their halfway-eaten food.

A glob went whizzing through the air,
impacting on the wall.
Another chunk went sailing out
the doorway to the hall.

The food was splattered everywhere—
the ceilings, walls, and doors.
A sloppy, gloppy mess was on
the tables and the floors.

And so our good custodian
ran out to grab his mop.
It took him half the afternoon
to clean up all the slop.

The teachers even used some words
we’re not supposed to mention.
And that’s how all the kids and teachers
wound up in detention.

What I'd Cook For My Teacher

by Bruce Lansky

If I cooked hot lunch for my teacher,
I would start out with rattlesnake stew.
Then I’d serve her a centipede salad
And a tall glass of milk mixed with glue.
Next, a seaweed and jellyfish sandwich,
For dessert, an a-chooberry pie.
When she finally finds out what she’s eaten,
I hope the old bat doesn’t die.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A brave little fellow name Brian
went for a ride on a lion.
When Brian got bit,
the lion got hit.
So now it’s the lion who’s cryin.’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There once was a student named Tim
who never learned how to swim.
He fell off the dock,
hit his head on the rock,
and that was the end of him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There once was a fella named Jake,
who went for a swim in a lake.
He sank to the bottom.
A big turtle got him.
And now his right leg is a fake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

There once was a cute girl named Jade.
who marched in an Easter parade.
She wore a big bonnet
with pink flowers on it,
but now they are starting to fade.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There once was a girl named Ann,
who never walked, she ran.
When she had to go,
and the line was too slow,
she used the can in her van.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There once was a fellow named Joe,
who had a very sore toe.
His toe turned bright blue,
so he took off his shoe,
and stuck his sore toe in the snow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A chatty young lady named Nell
spent too much time on her cell.
She called up some boys,
who made lots of noise.
Her mom threw her cell in the well.
