Movember

I realise Movember was obviously last month, but I wanted to share this funny pic with you all. Our school got behind the cause (to raise awareness/money for prostate cancer). Our Middle School teaching staff (the males only of course) grew mo's.
Pete did "attempt" to grow one, but it was nothing other than pathetic, and so he ended up shaving off his blonde try hard mo after 3 weeks. Man, that sounded harsh. Sorry honey!!
Anyway we sold stick-on mustaches at school a couple of weeks back, and to keep with the spirit of things, I got in on the act and bought one, and promptly put it on and had my class in stitches. Many of you will know I have very thin lips, and an absolutely non existent top lip. With a mo, it looks like I barely had a mouth. Of course it was a regular school day, and whilst the lessons weren't overly teacher directed that day, I did have to give instructions etc. After I'd outlined some expectations for the lesson, one of my especially conscientious students raised her hand, started giggling, and said "Mrs Watt, I'm really sorry, but I just can't take you seriously today."
In spite of typical rules, I asked one of the other students with a mo to open up 'Photobooth' on his computer so we could get a photo of our mo's. This student is a legend, and he actually looks like the Monopoly man! What do you think???

Anniversary

Yesterday (DEC 1st 2008) was Peter and my 1 year Wedding Anniversary. We treated ourselves to a beautiful evening of fine food, and dessert, and a beautiful sunset walk at the place we fell in Love (the old tree swing at St Marks College).
Keeping with tradition we liked the idea of doing the themed gift for each year. Seeing as though First year is PAPER, Pete bought me the remaining Twilight books from the series, and I framed him a gorgeous Japanese rice paper print.

Here is a collection of photos from our beautiful night.
