Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage . . . They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. ~Psalm 84:5

Pobrecito!
Poor, despondent Mr. Potato Head. He thought it was finally his year to win the annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest . . . until Charlotte had the brilliant idea to spin her web for the oblivious Wilber!
Yeah, this is just a few of the pumpkins the kids decorated for the contest our school does every year. They get more and more elaborate every year, which paint and other such materials.
Pobrecito means "poor thing/boy/girl" in Spanish. So I'm saying poor Mr. Potato Head! And Wilber was a bit scary in real life . . . it was the eyes . . . so maybe it's a combination of fear and disappointment about losing that has Mr. PH looking so down.
The state of Texas believes I'm qualified to educate the future generation. I've started with preschoolers -- they're young enough to not remember any damage I may inflict whilst learning how to be an effective teacher. Besides that, I'm trying my best to follow Jesus as He leads me through unforeseen paths, but it's hard sometimes. Especially since we live in a world that thinks I'm an unambitious mad-woman whose wasting my life. But I know God has called me, and I know He is preparing me. For what, I don't completely know; but I trust Him.
We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection. ~Anais Nin

How cute! Now, explain. Is this at your school? Is Potato Head a pumpkin? He looks rather brown...
Okay, I confess, I've no idea what Probi-whatever means and I'm too lazy to look it up.
I think Mr. Potato Head looks a little afraid of Wilber...
