today was the last day of camp!

and we had a snowball fight! i’ve been trying to convince melissa (the director) to let me take a group outside, but she’s had to say no all week due to the weather. but today she said yes! which was good, because on wednesday i told them to bring their snow stuff on friday because i wanted to have a snowball fight, and since the promise of hitting lanni with a snowball is pretty alluring to them, quite a few did. so i helped eight kids bundle up and we went outside and had an epic snowball fight. when we got tired we made a snowman, and then had another snowball fight!

i thought my new position as president of camp would score me some secret service protection during the fight, but apparently not. i got pummeled.

hahaahaha and before i forget, enjoy this tidbit of a conversation i had with a group of kids sitting at my lunch table the day before yesterday. for a bit of background, kids 1 and 4 are typical 9-year-olds, and kids 2 and 3 are space cadets.

kid 1: lanni, have you ever heard of a ripstick? i got one for christmas.
lanni: no, what’s a ripstick?
kid 1: have you seen those skateboards with two wheels?
lanni: oh, yeah! i know what you’re talking about. you go forward by moving side to side, right?
kid 2: that’s not a ripstick. a ripstick is a stick you hit people with that takes their clothes off.
kid 3: no, that’s a stripstick.
kid 4: let’s change the subject, lanni.
lanni: uh… yeah.

ANDDDDDD, under the cut are the photos i promised of my election campaign!

inspired by msm00nlight, lindsey and i made a snowman, and named it spoons.

“doctor spoons” is his real name, but megan told us it was too creepy because it made her think he was going to gut her. megan is obviously insane. that snowman is too cute to gut anyone. (although someone will probably ignore his cuteness and kick him before morning, for sure.)

doctor spoons may just be the best fake doctor there is. yes, perhaps even better than dr. horrible. but obviously not better than dr pepper. or dr. lan. because i’m dr. lan, duh.
