spt: pop-seriousness

four weeks and three days
until the shorties go on
to fifth grade.

two weeks until our
beach trip.

this is serious ya'll.

not only is our time
as mother chicken and her chicks
limited...
but we have a lot of
pencilsandbouncyballsandsoftdrinks,etc.
to sell!

the shorties have been
working their little tails off
hauling coolers outside
at the end of the day
to sell iced-down beverages
to the thirsty masses as they
run through the school doors.

they sing their song:
soda and water!
two quarters!
soda and water!
50 cents!
ice cooooold...

"we want to go kayaking, ms. k!"
"how much more do we need to raise?"

and we count.
and it gets more serious
as the days count down
until we leave.

my mom and i try and figure
out the rental costs and the food...
(yikes!)

the shorties are pushing fireballs and
now-and-laters and bracelets and
raffle tickets.


we will keep our fingers crossed.
no matter what...we have four more weeks
together.
and that is what matters.
