Instead of posting tomorrow, I'll be on an airplane adventure with small children. Here's some of the stuff I'll be toting in my carpet bag, carrying up my sleeve:
1. Books about Pigs. Pigs are hilarious. These pig books, by Kate DiCamillo and Mo Willems, are spectacular.
2. Mad Libs. Because I only like children who know their parts of speech.
3. Wikki sticks and red yarn, for making cyclopses, cerberuses and scarves.
4. Glow-in-the-dark zombie finger puppets. Just in case.
5. Books by Roald Dahl, for commanding full attention.
6 maids a-milking:
Good luck. With pigs and Roald Dahl, you're as well armed as you can get for that sort of thing.
I loved pig books as a kid, and on one memorable occasion the local bookstore decided to do a reading and bring live pigs into the store. Sadly, the were not cute pink piglets, but full sized bristly haired pigs that ran around the store at top speed and terrorized all of the children. Someone really dropped the ball on that one.
Yay, fly safe and on the other side will be friends, cornfields, lovely chats, Laurel's wonderful laughter and maybe even a bottle of Shiraz.

Um, plane with small children. Are you sure you don't want the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster? You know, to roll up and whack them with?
(jk. I'm sure you'll have fun.)
It is NOT NICE to thwack children, Mousie Moo. The zombies will eat them if things get out of hand.
no no, to PLAY whack them with. as in battle with paper towel rolls. you know?
glad you have the zombies just in case.
Rachel, I love that story, though am sorry you were terrorized. I hope your porcine nightmares will not be too nasty. Maybe I can find a way to release pigs in our library. Hmmmm.
